Default Botox for treatment

I totally agree with you. There is a new research study out that indicates Botox is not nearly as effective as originally thought for headache treatment. So I don't even want to try the treatment. My sister was told she was among the 1% that Botox did not work on so I assume my family must have a metabolizing issue. It's happened several times with my sister, my daughters, and myself (EDS/dysautonomia related).

Once again, thank you for your input. Although this doctor is the first doctor to understand all of my health issues - EDS, dysautonomia, and headache issues, the doctor concerns me because he does not spend very much time with me. I have seen him for a total of 10 minutes but went through extensive testing on the first appointment. He recently left a prestigious medical school and went out on his own, so I assume he is increasing his caseload to pay for to offices. I am going to press for alternatives than Botox.

Thanks again!
