Has anyone tried Botox for TN?

      I’ve been on Botox for 1 1/2 years and it always worked but my May 3 injections did not. I think it was because my nerves were over sensitized due to many severe migraines each weekend for 2 months. I even had infusions April 14 and 15 and the migraine decided it was ruling my life. I need a week long hospital stay for Ketamine and lidocaine but I’m a teacher and it’s hard to take the time off and coordinate with the headache unit at Jefferson so I will go in this summer to settle things down and the Botox will work again I’m sure.

      I’ve done Botox for chronic migraines (doctors at the time didn’t diagnose the TN) and it helped my TN immensely. The Botox placements go directly into the Trigeminal nerve
