[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 612359, member: 1233"] I got my botox this morning. It was interesting. I had my spin clips in my purse which was good because they didn't tell me that they needed to do them anywhere but my forehead. It is NOT just one or two shots, not by a long shot. The forehead above my eyes was 6 separate injections, then 3 shots near each other on 3 different spots on each side of my head! It was a lot of little shots, but the needles were very fine and other than a slight pinprick I didn't feel much at all. One of the ones on my forehead stung a little, but other than that it didn't hurt. The medicine didn't burn or sting at all. It will take a day or two for the muscles to stop moving and I have some swelling on my forehead above my nose, but it is minor and to be expected. I will update in a few weeks if it is helping to stop the migraines. I pray it works because I want my life back!!! Thanks for the good thoughts, and I don't mind being the guinea pig. The other medications like topomax stopped working for me a long time ago. I tried going back on them after not taking them for a while, but it took larger and larger doses to get very little results. I will let you know how it goes so that you can weigh your migraine misery against the results to see if you want to try it. [/QUOTE]
