I never would have thought Botox could treat migraines. My Mom heard about it on TV and Steven was not to receptive to the idea. But, after having a few more of his horrific migraines, he decided to say YES to the procedure when his doctor suggested he try it.
Last week we had to cancel the appointment because he was traveling. Today, by a small miracle, we received a call from Steven’s doctor. We were able to go into the office today and get the first round of treatment. Watching the doctor inject Steven with the Botox was nauseating. I had to think about anything and everything not to think about what was happening. Steven was nauseated, and turning pale by the minute. His normally burgundy colored lips were light light pink. And during the injection process he was making jokes about his situation. He need one more round of Botox, in May, before we will know if this medication will work.
As soon as we were home, he crawled into bed for a little while. The injections were awful, but not nearly as bad as the migraines.
