Well, it’s that time again!
It’s been 3 months since my last dose of Botox to treat my migraines, so back to the neuro I go, for another 40 odd injections in my head (yes, it does bloody hurt! and did I mention that I REALLY hate needles :O )
At my last appointment my neuro prescribed a daily preventative to try & help keep the migraines under control and I’m happy to say that it has been working (touch wood!!!)
Since then, other than a shocking episode last month where I had a migraine for 8 out of 10 days. I’ve only been getting one migraine every 12-14 days.
For those of you who haven’t been following along since the beginning, here’s my story so far.
11 years ago I was in a really bad car accident. One of my ongoing issues from the accident is frequent migraines (3-5 days per week!). For the past 18 months I have been having Botox injected into my head, neck & shoulder every 12 weeks. Finally things are really starting to improve. This has been my progress.
Today I am off for a top-up. Wish me luck.

I’ve just started using this ECO cling wrap and ECO zipper bags, both made from sugarcane [and kindly gifted to me from @urban.ethos], so I no longer need to feel guilty about keeping my leftovers 🥗 and the kids lunches and snacks, fresh and sealed.
“I’m shopping for my grandkids” is exactly what we should all be doing, and actively making environmentally friendly choices when shopping for products for home, the kitchen and our families.

Thanks for sharing, that’s great you are starting to see some results.
I too am seeing a neuro for migraines although I’m only at the beginning of my journey so it’s interesting to hear what’s working for someone else.
Hi Cynthia
Sorry to hear that you’re also a sufferer.
I’ve been having the injections for the past 18 months and noticed a slight improvement after the first treatment but now that I’m also taking a daily preventative (Atacand) it’s working even better.
I hope you find some relief soon.
