Hi-

I have had juverderm, Restylane, and Botox several times since I have had symptoms of PN. None of them appeared to have made a difference in my symptoms. The neuro that dx me was also the one who gave me the botox for my migraines. Actually made my headaches worse, and after 2 treatments discontinued the use. I will say that I did like it for wrinkle prevention in forehead! I also loved the results from restylane and juverderm done in the nasal fold and lip augmentation. Mrs. D points are excellent-so it would be a hard choice now as to whether or not I would use them again. I think with me, if I had the $$, vanity might win out.

I have read on a site that they will take my medical history and if there is a history of any autoimmune illness like RA, MS, or autoimmune thyroid they will not proceed anyway.

Since I have clinical Graves Disease I would be knocked back and they would refuse to inject me most likely. If they are truly diligent to ask me in the first place.

At this stage I am going to give this procedure a miss.

Thank you for feedback/opinions.

I'm jealous...but I'm too chicken to give it a go. I'd have a panic attack as soon as I sat down in that chair.
