I'm so glad that you posted this here. There are so many aspects of migraine that affect our lives in so many ways. Sharing them with a community of people who get it can be helpful and remind us that we're not in this alone.
I'm sure others in our community will chime in with their firsthand experiences. In the meantime, I wanted to share this article in hopes that it might help you.

I've been getting Botox since 2016 with good results. I do want to mention it is important to have a skilled clinician do the injecting. I've heard from many people who aren't getting optimal results due to not following the specific Botox migraine protocol. We have a video of the correct protocol here; https://migraine.com/video/video-of-botox-injections.
Let me know what you think and I look forward to hearing more from you, Nancy Harris Bonk, Patient Leader/Moderator Migraine.com Teamyes being part of a community definitely helps!
