   <p>Hi angelnote, <br> <br> Thank you for your kind words! We&#39;re happy to hear you find out site helpful and your transplant is successful! <br> <br> I&#39;m sorry to hear Botox doesn&#39;t seem to be as effective as it once was, that&#39;s frustrating. I&#39;ve been getting Botox for almost two years and find it helpful. I still have to be vigilant about my migraine triggers, as Botox is a migraine preventive medication, not a cure. I also find about two to three weeks before I&#39;m due for the next round of injections, I have more migraine days. <br> <br> I wonder if seeing a true migraine/headache expert would be the way to go now. These doctors are board certified in headache medicine, which is different than being certified in neurology. I&#39;m currently seeing my 5th true expert and seeing progress. When you get a moment take a look at this information on how these doctors are different and how to find one; <a href='http://migraine.com/blog/how-are-migraine-specialists-different/' target='_blank'>http://migraine.com/blog/how-are-migraine-specialists-different/</a> and <br> <a href='https://migraine.com/blog/really-find-headache-specialist/' target='_blank'>https://migraine.com/blog/really-find-headache-specialist/</a>. <br> <br> Try not to get too discouraged, there are over 100 medications and supplements that can be used to treat migraine disease. I&#39;ve tried so many of them, I&#39;ve lost count! I can tell you it can take up to 90 days when we start new medications, at a therapeutic dose, before we see a reduction in our migraine attack frequency and severity. When you get a moment take a look at this article about migraine prevention medications; <a href='https://migraine.com/blog/migraine-preventives-start/' target='_blank'>https://migraine.com/blog/migraine-preventives-start/</a>. <br> <br> I hope this helps! <br> Nancy</p>
