I had heard of botox treatment before but had been nervous to try it...and am still a bit apprehensive. I actually just finished reading through an article ("New Acute Treatments for Headache" published (June, 2010) in the journal, Neurological Sciences) and it lists the newest and most effective treatments for severe headaches, including calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonists, transdermal patches, sumatriptan, DHE, Cambia, and botox. I would recommend checking it out...it's pretty interesting. The migraines do still occur, with the good news being that they are less frequent in number and the bad news being that they are more severe when they do arrive. Most people that I have talked to regarding preventative therapies recommend waiting it out a bit...apparently migraines, similar to selective allergies for some reason, may altogether disappear with time. Thank you again for the recommendation, Andy, as I will definitely be sure to keep it in mind and look into it more! Take care... Andy,

Now migraine free for 5 years with botox treatment every three months. If you can reduce the pain of migraine by compressing superficial temporal artey with your finger (as far back toward ear as possible)then botox will probably work for you too. If you elect to try it, make sure they inject botox cutaneously along the temporal artery (closer to artery the better). Good Luck Andy Giby:
