UPDATE - it's been 2 1/2 months since the first series of botox and I added 20 mg nadalol per day one month after the botox because it only helped the severity of the migraines, but not the frequency (still had them almost daily). With the combination of the botox and nadalol, I'm now headache free for the last 9 days!!! That doesn't sound like much of a victory unless you've had 20 -25 migraine a month for years! I must also add, that I've begun taking 10 mg flexeril before bed, because I often get migraine during sleep, so it's just extra "insurance", and I sleep a little better. I go for round two of botox in about 3 weeks (little over 3 months from the 1st round). I got Blue Cross/Shield to cover this treatment for 12 months by hounding them over the phone and the neuro and his staff's great patience and continued faxes of historical data on my migraine history. They wanted to know every preventive I'd ever taken and how many times each was tried, along w/the outcome, the frequency of migraine, the duration of each individual migraine and 3 full months time of deliberation before they agreed. I blazed the trail for many other patients in the same boat/seeing this neuro. Warning...the injections are unpleasant in the forehead area, and for me, excruciating right above the ears (both sides in hair/scalp) but quite tolerable in the back of the head/neck/shoulders. I did have some temporary side effects...a bad ear ache in the right ear within minutes of injections (lasted about 5 hours and has come/gone a few times since but with less intensity) and very strange spasms presenting as an intense fluttering deep in the eardrum of the other ear the evening of injections and one other time soon after. If I hadn't fought so hard to get the insurance to relent and help pay, I would have paid the full $1500.00 to do it anyway out of desparation. Now...the copay is over $500.00, but I'm doing it again. I feel that I have my life back over these last 9 days, and I pray it continues. God Bless you and don't give up!View Thread
