I wanted to give an update on my migraines because I've had
a change. I underwent oral surgery to
remove my wisdom teeth along with 4 additional teeth (to make room for braces).
My migraines were of course, out of
control after the surgery, but after about 7-9 days after things started to
heal and all the stitches came out, I noticed my migraines and headaches had
improved. Now, a month later, I've noticed a huge improvement. Even though
my Botox wore off before my surgery, my daily headaches and migraines have been
at a tolerable level (which is new to me). I still have daily
headaches, which now are at a 5 or 6 on the pain chart, which has been a pleasant
surprise. And I haven’t had a migraine
since. It also has helped my TMJ, which
I know is a trigger for a migraine for me. I am now in braces (invisalign), and I just received
my Botox injections on the 6th. I already
feel the positive effects of Botox (for me it usually takes 2 weeks or
more), so I’m hoping that maybe this time it will work even more, if not, I’m
happy with where I am right now. And who
knows, maybe I won’t need any more Botox, (not crossing my fingers but hey).
