I had my first Botox treatment this morning and i have the onset of a headache and my head is sore in the back from the injection sites. I know it’s normal because the doc prepared me, but I’m wondering what everyone else’s experience has been with side effects and effectiveness.
Thanks!

Hi Doggie

I used Botox and did get relief
I used ice spareingly on injection sights that were sore

If your head ache gets worse or any other symptoms start call your doc!
Wishing you long relief 😌
Peace

Thanks. My headache did get better once I took Eletriptan this morning. It’s still lingering but better. I wonder how early I will tell if the Botox works in decreasing my overall number of migraines per month. I guess I could ask my- just looking for some feedback from people who have taken it before.

D, I hear from a prior HW member that has been getting Botox for a little over 2 years. She says it has decreased her migraines better than anything else she has tried. Every year her dr has to fight for her approval, but gets her approved.

I hope it gives you relief, everyone is different.

Doggie I wish you the same or better out come!

I think more about getting botox since my migraines got worse last year and Im afraid I take way too much triptans, keep us updated how it works for you.
