migraine sufferers...
there was a post by someone a few weeks ago about topamax, and i was so shocked to see how many of you were on it (myself included)
i have been suffering from migraines for the past 10 years and have tried everything, every medicine, including topamax, chiropractic, clean eating... you name it, i've tried it. i couldn't even have a sip of alcohol without getting a really bad migraine.
a few weeks ago as an absolute last ditch effort (because my migraines have gotten to the point that they were ruining my life), my doctor suggested i try a new treatment - botox injections in the back of my neck
i had to pay out of pocket and was completely skeptical but i haven't had a migraine in almost a month (i used to get them every other day).
it's my birthday today and i was able to DRINK on saturday and get DRUNK - which i haven't done in over a year because of my headaches.
the only reason i'm sharing this with you is 1) because i'm really happy and excited that i'm finally getting some sort of relief and have my life back and 2) because of that post i realize some of you might have also be suffering like me and i just wanted to let you know that if you've gone through all the pills available without any sort of relief, you should really give botox a try.
ETA: this is not the kind of cosmetic botox that will help your wrinkles or frown lines, it goes into your neck where the source of migraine pain is
