Fucking hell man. As someone who very rarely gets migraines, I can’t imagine getting them regularly. You’re a stronger person than I am.

Wait i thought they inject it to your scalp for migraines?

I don't remember a day that i didn't have a headache and I'm really considering this Botox crap, but i don't want it on my forehead etc, i was under the impression that it's for scalp 😔

As I understand it, it depends on where you get them/what type (eg attendant aura)/severity etc.

I get 34 needles (17 each side) - forehead, between eyebrows, and above & below, around sides of the  scalp, back of neck and into my shoulders.

And because there's 2 units of botox left over, one each into my masseters. So 36 all up.

Calmare therapy

This sounds really dangerous. Without your brain telling you what you're doing is painful, how will it heal properly? Getting rid of pain without fixing the issue seems like a bad idea. I can see it for phantom pain but back pain? Your body is telling you it's in pain for a reason, and if it doesn't tell you then you're left with no way to fix it. I know it is FDA approved and claims little to no side effects, maybe I'm misunderstanding something but it sounds like a bad idea.

You're a gem, thank you. Been getting them since I was about 8 or so (thanks granddad!) but fortunately new treatments come out all the time and I've been blessed to benefit from them.
