Let's answer all your migraine Botox questions! And... at the end I show myself actually getting my Botox.🥴 4 years of this treatment and my life has CHANGED for the better.
Thank you for sharing. I had a brain aneurysm 20 yrs. ago. I have migraines for years. Now I have a mass of scar tissue and my neurosurgeon set up Botox shots for me. I start them on 3/9/24. I pray that they help.
I appreciate this! My doctor just suggested botox today and the word and idea of it is so scary. I'm just watching a ton of videos of positive effects and hoping this could be the thing that enhances my quality of life. 🙏❤️
Thank you for sharing this! I just received my first round of injections today. I keep thinking it's supposed to help right away but it sounds like I need to give it at least a few rounds. I'm so glad you were able to get your life back!
Absolutely give it a few rounds and if you have a rough next few days, just know that is completely normal! It's been several years of Botox treatments and I still plan on random migraines/headaches/pain the first 10 days (although it usually only lasts the first few days.) Best wishes and prayers that you will get some relief.
I thought the same thing at first, but read and researched, then found out that it dies take a few rounds for some of us, there are some lucky ones who get relief sooner. It is worth it for me! I just had a round on Tuesday, the 18th and slept the rest of the day, had a migraine on Wednesday, and slept a lot. I'm feeling much better today, which is Friday. As Katie said, the first 10 days or so, can be a bit bumpy, but once it starts doing its thing, it's amazing. I truly had forgotten what life is like without chronic migraines. It's sweet to not hurt and not have to try to make it through an event while feeling so bad. I hope your journey with botox helps you get your pain under control and even gone!
Thanks for sharing! I start my treatment next month and I’m super nervous but I’m praying that’ll something will finally help stop having these migraines so frequently.
This is giving me some hope for my fiancée. She's been dealing with Chronic Migraines for a couple years now and she is starting to get really desperated because no treatment seems to help.. She is thinking about getting Botox treatment but she was scared it might have really negative side effects. But your experience helps us get a much more clearer explanation on how it works. Thank you so much
I get dysport in my upper face, not for headaches but I have observed the benefit of fewer headaches since I have had it. I used to get eye twitching from stress and I haven't experienced it since. I haven't had any negative side effects from dysport. if your fiancee gets migraines they will probably inject it into the forehead as well as the area past the temples, the back of the head and the shoulders. neuromodulators (botox, dysport, xeomin etc) are excellent and have applications beyond the cosmetic
I can't wait for this.. I'm literally laying here with ice packs on my head & neck .. I just put ice in Ziploc bag.. it helps.I hope everyone feels better❤
Thank You so much for sharing! I started my Botox journey last year and I'm on set number 3. I'm now seeing a huge difference, which is exciting. Sounds a little crazy, but knowing that I'm not missing days of my life, is wonderful. I notice about 9 weeks after injections, they start to wear off. I had tried everything before going to Botox. I'm allergic to Triptans and Emgality. I was tired of being experimented on and being in daily migraine pain. For me, only a few places hurt while being injected.... shoulders and face=ouch, but worth it! Do you have any, I guess, side effects could be the word, after injections? I get sleepy and will get a migraine the next day, but after that---heaven, relief etc. When I do get a migraine, it's very manageable and I don't usually have to take pain meds. It took me years before I agreed to try botox. I've had migraines since I was 3. As a teen and beyond, I tried every natural remedy I could, lavender was a no go,because I'm deathly allergic to it. Finally, I had a migraine with kaleidoscope vision and decided Dr was necessary. Then, that was experiment after experiment of different meds. Thank God that I was at the Dr's still when I was given a triptan. I stopped breathing.. scary! I now suggest botox to other chronic migrainers, rather than go through multiple meds to find one's that work. I'm still surprised how well botox has helped me. Not having that daily migraine is wonderful, and getting one, is manageable the majority of the time. No more waking up and waiting to see if I'm going to be sidelined by a migraine and have to suffer through things---I refused to miss any of my girl's games, events etc, but it was so painful. What do you think about the sound of the needle going in? At first it creeped me out! 🤣 so weird... Thank You again for sharing. I'm going to share with some friends and family, so they understand more!
Carol, I'm so glad you're seeing improvement with Botox! It is an indescribable gift to get your life back. I too have tried several medications, devices, natural remedies, etc. and had very little improvement. I'm glad we were both able to start receiving Botox! Yes, I do have side effects after my injections. The first few days are the worst, but I expect that for up to 10 days after, I could get random migraine/headache/throbbing pain. Usually the first few days I'm really sore at the points of injection. I'm also prone to more migraines/headaches and am very tired. The needle going in... I should have mentioned that because it is such a strange and creepy sound! VERY very weird, I agree. I'm so glad this video could help you and more importantly, that your migraines have improved and are manageable when they hit. Best wishes for you and thank you for your comment! :)
@@sunshineandpain Thank You, Katie! I'm glad that my side effects are common! It took a lot before finally giving in and accepting botox treatments, I do wish I'd done it sooner! Thank You for sharing your journey. I still get a little annoyed when a Dr says, "Oh , you have a headache"... no, I don't remember what a headache feels like, a migraine is beyond a headache!
I use the Botox for migraine savings copay card I filled out on line and it costs me 245 every 3 months and the cost card covers 1,000 to pay the difference. My last migraine that led me to get Botox for migraines lasted 43 days. It was 24 seven for 43 days with vomiting and light sensitivity. I literally was living in the dark with black out glasses in my house.. along with taking Zofran and pain pills and nothing was touching it until the Botox two weeks after the Botox the migraine subsided and I get breakthrough migraines but only maybe three a month and they are tolerated with an ice migraine cap and Excedrin and sometimes blackout classes . I have fibromyalgia and I feel pain very easily on top of the migraines so my appointment for the shots is so stinking painful but it’s the only way to be able to function.. thank you for sharing your experience
Thank you for commenting! ❤️ I have used the Botox for migraines savings copay card, too! Thanks for reminding me of this because I didn't mention it. I'm so SO sorry you had a migraine that lasted that long. That sounds miserable. It's amazing what a difference Botox makes compared to pain pills- it has been totally life changing. I'm thrilled you've had a great experience with Botox. I also have fibromyalgia and agree about the shots hurting. 😖 Small price to pay though to have migraines free days.
@@sunshineandpain how crazy you also have fibromyalgia. It makes us stronger that I ever thought possible. It’s like my shoulders and heard are giving birth lol but somehow I survive it and thank God for the shots
I've been getting chronic migraines since I was 8. I'm now in my 50s. I've been getting botox for 5 years now and it's the only thing that has helped me. I dp have a copayment that the botox savings program doesn't pay for which is $150.00 from the insurance. They consider it as surgery. I'm wondering if anyone else's neurologist office puts it down as surgery code? The botox savings company use to puck it up, but the past 2 years they haven't. I get 38 to 40 injections. Mine are so bad that I get it done every 10 weeks instead of every 12 weeks. Some insurances allow you to get it done every 10 weeks. Mine seem to wear off 2 to 3 weeks before my 12 weeks was up. I noticed you got some in the back of your head. My neurologist has never done that until this last time I had it done and she only did it on one side. I have a autoimmune disease which causes me to have chronic optical migraines and this one nerve in the back of my head and neck kills me. I'm hoping the botox helps 🙏in this area as well. For me the pain is uncomfortable, but it's worth it not to have a migraine everyday of my life. If you struggle with chronic migraines and tried everything like me and nothing has worked I say give botox a try. One thing to say is you won't notice until you 3rd time. Don't do botox one time and quit. My neurologist started off slow and by the 3rd time he told me I'd notice and he was 100% right. His PA now gives them to me and she's just as good.
Thank you for this comment!!! I really appreciate the details you gave about your own experience. I don't think my neurologist runs botox as a surgery code because I still have a portion covered by the botox savings program. I'm so happy it has helped you and hopefully the nerve in the back od your head will relax with botox!
@@sunshineandpainthank you. So far so good. I wish I knew what code your neurologist office uses. I don't feel like it's a surgery. Shots yes, but not surgery.
Hey Erica! My side effects are just some pain during and after from the injections themselves,just like getting a shot would leave an area sore. Other than that, Botox has helped IMMENSELY!
Migraine has made my life a misery for years. It’s looking like I’ll get Botox but because of the money saving rules in Britain I have to suffer for another two months before I’m allowed to have it. It’s wrecking my life and career so I can’t wait! The ocular disturbance is awful.
I am SO sorry you're going through this. I am sure it's incredibly frustrating waiting for Botox! I had pretty bad ocular symptoms and I got some lenses that really helped the auras/pain in my eyes. If they have neurolens in Britain, I would definitely recommend trying those lenses for ocular migraines. That has been my magic combo, neurolens and Botox. Hugs and prayers you find some relief!
I am good enough to function and take care of my kids! I still get migraines, but it's manageable now and I have a somewhat normal life despite being diagnosed with chronic illnesses.
@@sunshineandpain that's amazing to hear. I dream of that. I've been in a dark room for over a year now. Can't even handle the television. Only my phone on the lowest light. It's been my life. Feeling drunk and dizzy. Been dizzy and feel drunk for years but now I just have no life.
I was just prescribed, I will get my first in 2 months do to my insurance. I'm terrified of long term side effects and needles, but it's been 4 y of migraine that messes up with my balance and vision, plus pills are not working anymore, thank you for sharing, how long the swallowing stays? Are you able to go to work the second day? Thank you
Thanks for watching and your comment! I'm really excited for you to try Botox! My side effects are so minimal compared to the migraines that controlled my life before this treatment! The swelling is just a few hours. And I could work the same day, just be prepared for some pain (if you're used to migraines you're already used to pain, though!) Keep me updated on what happens for you!
I hope the trigger point injections have worked just as well, or better for you, than botox! I had trigger point injections a few times and felt like they helped me.
@@sunshineandpain yea unfortunately thats been my journey something works for a few years then stops and we have to switch... ive had migraines for 27 yrs it really puts a damper on things. Managing it is the best treatment.
I am suffering everyday with migraines 😢 my doctor wants me to to do Botox and I been putting it off 😢 I am afraid of side affects if any . My doctor has been doing it since 2011 . My insurance company is paying for my Botox with no out of pocket fees 😢😢😢
I hope you can find something that will work. That's wonderful your insurance will cover the cost! The pain of the injections are definitely better than daily migraines. Hope you can find peace with whatever treatment you decide!
Hi Sunshine and pain. My name is Lori and I wake up every single day with a migraine. I know your video is a year old, but I have a question. I just had my 3rd round of Botox injections 2 weeks ago. I know everyone is different, but if you could please tell me how many rounds did it take for you? I have bad side effects of worse migraines and flu like symptoms. I need hope please. 💠😔
Hi Lori! I had improvement after my first injections, but it didn't take full affect until after my third round of Botox. I'm so sorry you've had such painful side effects. I truly hope you can find relief. ❤️
I'm terrified of reactions because my system is sensitive. But im now bed ridden and have to be pushed in a wheelchair because im so dizzy. 24/7 migraines. Im scared. Rather die than live like this. But scared shots could give me anniphilactic shock loke other drugs
That's so many things to consider. I'm so sorry. I was bedridden for twoish years and it was absolutely horrible. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Hopefully your doctor can give you some good guidance. ❤️
@@sunshineandpain I may give it a go. Can't live like this. I've contemplated attempting to end my life many times now. I may ask for a small dose to test and hopefully I'll do ok. I was already sick for years with other ailments. I honestly would go back to my endometriosis pain over this if I had to pick. And that was excruciating.
Do you get tingling creeping headache like pain from the back of your occipitals referring into your face? Im getting my injector to emphasize more in my occipitals this time. Wishing you a pain free life!❤
I have a few places the pain tends to start and radiate from. Generally pain for me starts either by my jaw/ear, behind my left eye and at the base of my skull. But the Botox has helped every one of those migraines! I would guess getting Botox will greatly improve the occipital pain area for you since the injections occur all over the skull! Hoping for success in your injections!
@Sunshine and Pain I have all those places on my face. I can tell it's originating from the back of my skull. More botox into those areas. Like you said in the video I too had to pay for some at the beginning in small areas in my face and did nothing. Now insurance covers. Can't wait to see after a week injecting more in the occipitals helps my referred headaches pain. Thanks for the response. 😀
@@nrp5791 if you remember, I would love to hear an update!! How exciting to finally be getting the real thing covered by insurance. Thanks for watching my video and commenting. Best of luck!!
I got the Botox migraine protocol on May 10th 2023 with emphasis on the occipital region. She injected more here for me. Nothing substantial yet from it. Still waiting on pain relief from muscles compressing the nerves causing this Occipital Neuralgia.
I'm so sorry! I hope you get some relief soon. Waiting to see if a prescription will work is stressful. I'm really hoping with time you see some improvement! 🤞❤️
I have a brain 🧠 lesion as well and suffer back pain as well I had back surgery in 2021 it’s failed back surgery. so I have a lot going on, please keep me in prayers. It’s hard sleeping at night I wake up every hour. I’m having a hard time getting disability, the government doesn’t seem to care when your suffering
@@MsBabygurl4646 you've got so many things going on and it sounds like you've been through a lot trying to heal. That takes a lot of strength! You're in my prayers. I truly pray and hope you find relief. 🧡
@@MsBabygurl4646 did you try vitamins for diabetes like B complex and K2 D3, also there is papers about lions Maine shroom suplemento that grows neurons and help nervous system

Like you said in the video I too had to pay for some at the beginning in small areas in my face and did nothing. Now insurance covers. Can't wait to see after a week injecting more in the occipitals helps my referred headaches pain. Thanks for the response. 😀
@@nrp5791 if you remember, I would love to hear an update!! How exciting to finally be getting the real thing covered by insurance. Thanks for watching my video and commenting. Best of luck!!
I got the Botox migraine protocol on May 10th 2023 with emphasis on the occipital region. She injected more here for me. Nothing substantial yet from it. Still waiting on pain relief from muscles compressing the nerves causing this Occipital Neuralgia.
@@nrp5791 thanks for the update! Really hoping you feel a difference in the next few days!
I suffer Migraines really bad, I got Botox for the first time a couple days ago. I’m still having headaches 😭😭😭
I'm so sorry! I hope you get some relief soon. Waiting to see if a prescription will work is stressful. I'm really hoping with time you see some improvement! 🤞❤️
