      I get Botox ever 10 weeks and I love it. The first time I felt no change but I am on my 6th round now. Each time it has gotten better and better. Definitely weakened the level of pain. I also get ketamine treatments now and the two together have caused me almost full relief.

        @Vixella would getting the shot give me brain fog? I’ve heard bad reviews about confusion and brain fog

      My first round of Botox didn't work. I have my second round next month. If that doesn't work, then I'm going to look into other injectables

          @Migraineblues I didn't have any noticeable side effects or brain fog. I have more energy and a better quality of life on it
