Title: BOTOX Feedback
Post by Bigbob on Feb 18^th, 2005, 11:26am

[smiley=huh.gif]
I went to see neurologist @ Texas Neurology 2 days ago. He said he has had some success with Botox injections. Mostly has used for classic migraine sufferers. Even though expensive I decided it was worth a shot. He said that it would take about three days for full effect. I have had wake up CH's last two nights. I use Imitrex injections (2-3mg) to abort.

Has anyone had any experience with Botox? I am hoping this will "kick" in and block the CH's. Since Botox last appx 3 months, this should get past current cycle.

I would apprecaite hearing any comments. [smiley=huh.gif] [smiley=huh.gif]

Weird - I asked this the other day. Not many responses. But even weirder, my mother in law called me last night just to ask if I had heard of Botox for Clusters.

Let us know your results. I am interested to know.
