Is it via your doctor you get the Botox or just through a practitioner? I’m so tempted to get this done just to try and see if it works.I’ve had migraines for a long time,tried lots of medication and was on Botox for a few years which worked.I’m currently injecting myself monthly with ajovy which worked but I feel it’s stopped working as well so I’m going to try and get back on Botox,
i was referred to a neurologist after I’d tried lots of medication, the headache specialist injects the Botox in the fore head,shoulders and back of the head.Is it via your doctor you get the Botox or just through a practitioner? I’m so tempted to get this done just to try and see if it works.
Thank you so much. I’m going to try and have an appt with my GP soon to review my migraines and I’ll ask - I don’t hold much hope as a referral to anyone is like gold dust with our surgery.i was referred to a neurologist after I’d tried lots of medication, the headache specialist injects the Botox in the fore head,shoulders and back of the head.
it’s worth asking for a referral and doing a headache diary (the neurologist always asks for one )
Ahhh I’ve never heard anyone describe their migraine like this! This is exactly what I experiencemine fills my whole face with an acid like feeling - sometimes can't even drink through a straw. i used to get really bad nasal burning as an aura (??) but now that happens randomly with no migraine after. i can physically feel the pain move to the other side of my head when I lie on one side too which is maybe weird idk and if it's just around my eye sockets the sensation gets 'trapped' by the bridge of my nose??
I had no side effects to the pills or nasal sprays (but they did nothing to ease the pain). The injection made my heart race and then I felt drowsy.What are the side affects to the sumatriptans? Do they leave you feeling drowsy?
Yeah, around 20 mins after taking them I’d get extremely drowsy and have to nap for a few hours. Then I generally felt really nauseous and dosileWhat are the side affects to the sumatriptans? Do they leave you feeling drowsy?
I feel a little spaced out for a few hours but not even close to the migraine they stopWhat are the side affects to the sumatriptans? Do they leave you feeling drowsy?
yep to the pain coming down my nose too! more recently it's starting at my hairline instead of just my eyes too - it feels like someone is pulling the skin on my face so tight and then the burning comes after. best way i can describe it is that acidic squeaky feeling in your mouth when you can taste the bile after being sick, but literally inside the face muscles?? very weird and i've not heard anyone else have it either!Ahhh I’ve never heard anyone describe their migraine like this! This is exactly what I experiencetowards the end of my migraine it feels like it’s kind of coming down my nose?! So weird.
I have a similar problem with Sumatriptan but don't have the same reaction to Rizatriptan. It's odd really because rizatriptan isn't recommended for my type of migraine.Yeah, around 20 mins after taking them I’d get extremely drowsy and have to nap for a few hours.

I was given a nasal spray which kept giving me nasal / sinus infections. I don't have a good sense of smell (this was way before covid; so it's not that) now.What are the side affects to the sumatriptans? Do they leave you feeling drowsy?
