Title: Had the botox today.....
Post by Samiam on Aug 23^rd, 2002, 11:20am

Ok that's it I'm not getting old....those dam things hurt....and he wouldn't even do my one wrinkle....LOL...2 weeks ago I got them in the neck, oxput, and behind the ear....today I got them in each temple, and nevere blocks in my both of my shoulders.....I'm hoping that this will do the trick.....and does anyone know here if Klonopin will cause brain fog and retaining water....my hands and feet and face seem swallon to me and I have to remain on this.....So far I've been able to go without any rescue meds for almost a week now, so I think this cycle may be over but then again you never know....now maybe I will go back into remission for another 4 yrs.....I sure hope so I have kids to raise and they don't need a mother that can't do anything with them.....Sami

Hi Sam,
I'm praying that your cycle is at an end. Mind if I ask how much are those shots each time ya go?? Good luck with the botox. Have a great weekend:)

Smiles,
Cin

No I don't mind at all....to tell you the truth I don't know I pay 5.00 for my neuro visit and from what I've been told they have been getting paid through the Ins. company. So I guess in a little bit I will find out but if it helps then it's worth it. I was also told that because a neuro was doing the injections and not a plastic surg. they veiw it differently.....less of a hassel. As soon as I find out I will let you know. Sami

I had Botox done last Friday but it was by a plastic surgeon. In my case, I don't have insurance so it wouldn't help if I went to a neuro (although maybe he would've given the shots in different areas). I had 3 shots, 1 between the eyebrows and 1 each above each eyebrow. The total was $250. He charges $250 per area so I guess the whole forehead is counted as an "area". I've had a headache eversince (although it's not a normal cluster) but at least I look 10 years younger!

I am going to a new doctor Sepy 3 at the pain managment center at Univeristy of South Florida
will ask about botox, since I'm chronic I have nothing to lose except some wrinkles[ probaly caused by ch pain couldn' be from age]. ;D
