Botox ... ?!??!
Dec 27^th, 2009 at 11:16am

I haven't been here in awhile, and I tried searching for a topic about botox but i didn't find any. If this has already been brought up, I'm sorry.

A couple months ago my grandmother saw a news report about people using botox injections in their foreheads to get rid of CH and Migraines... Has anyone heard about this? I looked it up and it seemed pretty effective... I was just wondering if anyone has tried it or heard about it. Thanks !

my neurologist recomended botox for me. It got rid of my 8+ migraines a month no problem. I would highly recomend it for migraines. However, it did nothing for my chronic ch. Nada zip I would NOT recomend it based on my experience for ch. One thing my neuro told me is that it may take two or three applications before I see any results. I saw results immediatly for migraines.

My son Michael had a series of Botox injections in his forehead as recommended for treatment of his chronic CH. They were VERY expensive and for him, totally useless. Could have bought a lifetime's supply of oxygen with a demand-valve and the very best available mask - and outfitted a world-class home mushroom growing operation - for the cost!
