Anyone here tried Botox?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #104 of 353 |
Just wondering if anyone here has tried the botox injections for
chronic daily headaches? Also how would one find a doctor who is
willing to try this.

I have had headaches for the past 25 years, since I was 10 years
old. I have had CDH for at least the past 10 years. So far I have
been on Vioxx, Elavil, Zonnegran, Neurontin, and Fioricet all with
mixed results. I am not as disabled as some on this board though,
and I thank my lucky stars for that.

I take daily pain meds for my headaches, and I worry about the effect
this will have on my health in the long run. I have heard a lot
about the Botox injections, and wonder if they will help me get off
the pain meds.
