Hello dandylou,

BOTOX was the only thing that has worked for me. I've been o13 different preventative drugs, 4 different triptans, acupuncture, physio, GON injections, back injections, neck MRIs, to be honest probably lots of other things I can't remember oh yeah years of meditation etc etc Botox is the only thing I've ever responded to.

Perhaps that’s my next option back to the doctors again, you obviously have to pay yourself for this ?

No its on the NHS its well over £1000 for each session. To qualify you have to have tried 3 different preventatives and have 15 headache days a month with 8 of those being migraine.
