When I was 12 yrs. old and started my period that was when my headache problems began. After multiple jaw surgeries and neck injuries I now suffer from chronic headaches which are all different. The tension headache is one and the migraines are also different too. Having seen so many neurologists over the past 30 yrs., I finally have some hope that botox injections will help my headaches. My new neuro dr. is much younger than me, but he knows what I am talking about. So now I am waiting for approval from my 2 insurances so I can get these botox injections. My dr. will be starting in my neck area where those muscles are like knots and feel like they are strangling me. The only migraine med that has helped me is the imitrex. Those ins. co. sure don't allow enough of those to be filled each month though. Currently I get more than 10 migraine headaches per month. That is no way to have to live. Pain rules my life and controls my ability to plan "fun" things, such as going to a movie, visiting my dad, etc.View Thread
