I heard that Botox injections have helped with Migraines. Is this true?

It is true that some migraineurs have benefited from botox injections.  It is not for everyone, though.  I just posted on this, http://againstthegraine.blogspot.com/2009/03/migraine-use-of-botox_30.html

David,

Yes, Botox injections are quite helpful for some Migraineurs, but not all. For more information, take a look at Intradermal Botox for Migraine, Headache, Pain Disorders.

You might also want to come to our discussion forum to talk with others who have tried Botox. You'll need to register again once there because it's a separate membership database, but you can use the same member name, email address, and password that you used here. You can find our forum at http://forums.healthcentral.com/discussion/migraine/forums.

Hope this helps,

Teri

I am on the second treatment of Botox and it does work for me.  The upside is that it only takes about 15 minutes to get the shots done and it takes the migraines away.  The downside for me is that it only lasts 3-4 weeks when the say it should last anywhere from 3-6 months.  It's just trial by error you never know what will work for you as an individual.
