I too, have been told botox injections may help with my headaches. Injections to the forehead, to relax the muscle, to keep it from tensing. I have decided against it. To begin with, if that area is tensing, it's because of the headaches, not causing them. I know this, without another opinion. The headaches are always there, have been for a very long time. Botox to the forehead will only mask part of the problem and not get at the root. I have heard too many ugly stories about botox, and the thought of injecting some foreign matter into my intolerance ridden body is more than I can fathom. I cancelled the appt with the neurologist who was going to evaluate me for the botox. I generally do anything a doctor wants me to try, but this time, it's not going to happen.

We urge all doctors to take time to listen to your patients.. don't "isolate" symptoms but look at the whole spectrum. If a patient tells you s/he feels as if s/he's falling apart and "nothing seems to be working properly", chances are s/he's right!
