I think we really need to weigh up the pro's and con's. I went to PT on Wednesday and they suggested seeing how the next 2 sessions go and if things dont improve then they want to admit me to do some intense work before trying the botox which I think is a good idea.

There are so many different muscle relaxants they could try before they resort to Botox.
For example. I am on Tetrazepam, I react to it well, it does what it's supposed to and it relaxes my muscles. I once tried Baclofen. What happened? Not much. I didn't respond well to it at all. So maybe it's key to find the muscle relaxant that works for you. Different meds can have a different effect on different people. But I'd try the muscle relaxants first. That's what I'd do... I'd not skip that step and go straight for Botox.
Hope you'll get some great news to share next week about school.
It's really sad about your friend, but hey... thank God for the net, right! And maybe she'll come back for vacations with family.
