Thanks Micro Man for the Botox info.
Botox was suggested over a year ago for me, but with a lot of cautions from my rehab doc and my neurologist that I may not be the best candidate.
Because my head pain does not behave like a migraine and the fact that I've had the same pain (varying degrees) for 3.5 years, they are not that hopeful.
Plus, every oral drug I've tried has had awful side effects, even drugs I was ok with before my injury, I now can't tolerate. I'm afraid of being stuck with the side effects for however many months Botox stays in your system. That seems like a really big commitment for something that may or may not work.
For now, I'm going with medical marijuana and see if I can get any temporary relief that way. At least if I have bad side effects, they will be gone in about 4 hours. I just placed my order today, so it should be here by Friday or Monday and I can start testing.
Thanks for sharing your botox experience. Its helpful and I haven't ruled it out yet.
