I had 32 injections. Like you a little bleeding on the forehead. Head feels a bit muzzy today and a stiff neck. But otherwise ok.

Fingers crossed for both of us

Oh dear, poor you. It's horrible isn't it.

I've been having migraines for about 4-5 years now. Tried loads of medication, some work for a while or not at all. I'm on topiramate also.

This time it's been a year with a daily continuous headache/migraines.

Botox needs to work for both of us.

One of the migraine specialist at the Mayo Clinic told me that people that have chronic migraines don't ever get regular headaches they always end up just getting migraines I don't remember why but he did tell me

Hi sa7ar & Ruby0265 - I have found myself that if I do not do any exercise my headache becomes uncontrollable. Just wanted to know if you have thought about it? Even if you do a fast 15-20 min walk for a few days, you may see encouraging results !

I have received botox since before it was approved by the FDA and it took me from daily migraines for over a year to now I have at the very most five migraines a month and it's been amazing for me plus I have no wrinkles on my forehead!

Thanks Ray.

That's great, I've just had the second round a month ago. The first treatment helped a bit, it made my migraines more bearable. But no headache free days. But the second treatment hasn't really worked, so feeling very disappointed. I have a headache/migraine every day.

I would love to wake up one day and just be migraine free!

It took me a few rounds of getting the botox before I woke up migraine free and didn't know what to do. But I had a similar response to the botox the first and second rounds around the 3rd or 4th round is when I really truly noticed it all getting a lot better from what I can remember it's been a long time since I've been getting them cuz it wasn't even approved by the FDA when I started so it's been a long time I do notice however but as it gets close to the time I'm supposed to get my next set of Botox injections I will start to have some migraines and that's an easy way for me to know that it's time for my injections I hope it works for you like it has for me
