Got Botox

My Mayo appointments have come to an end for this trip. To say that it has been help would be an understatement.

I spent 3 days doing the Fibro Class. During this time I learned a great deal about Fibromyalgia and in doing so I feel like I now understand so much of what has been going on with me these past several years. I got great ideas on how to start making changes that have been studied and shown to be effective in most patients.

I will start sharing what I learned and my journey when I get home and have a chance to start going through all of the materials and formulate a plan on how to move forward.

This morning I got to sit down with my migraine doc. He made arrangements and within a half hour I was on a table getting Botox injections. Quite unexpected. I knew I wanted it and I knew I was going to try to get worked in, but I wasn't expecting it to happen that day. The docs really can make anything happen in a place like that and I'm so thankful he chose to use his MD powers to help me today.

While it's never fun to get injections, after it was over I really didn't feel any different. I didn't have any negative reaction. He told me that it would take 7 - 10 days before I really would feel any effect and that it could take a month or two before I really know if it is preventing any migraines.

Can't wait. I really hope this is going to be my ticket to less migraine pain. Plus, I'm very hopeful and confident that I can make some behavior changes that will impact how much the Fibromyalgia impacts my days.
