Default Botox Injections

I just came back from an appointment with the neurologist. He suggested the Botox injections. They are done every 3 months and suggested 2 sessions before you could tell if there is any improvement.

The cost is $800 for the botox and $175 for the injections. He said some insurance will not cover the injection price.

He had discuss Topomax for headaches but apparently they can cause kidney stones and I have a history of kidneystones.

I have to keep a headache log for a couple of months to get a baseline prior to treatment and he wants me to be finished with other treatments before starting this.

I still have a few more weeks of cranial sacral therapy at the osteopathy.

Starr, I am sorry that you are so discourage, I know how frustrating it is to keep looking for answers and not finding them.

Frankly the botox thing kind of scares me. After all botox is a poison.

Best wishes.

Norma
