Title: Anyone gave this a shot?
Post by Dave_Emond on Apr 4^th, 2003, 7:23pm

Okay ... pun intended : )
My doctor suggested trying Botox, I can't find any real evidence that this works, but there are studies going on with Botox and Cluster Headaches.
Anyone tried this yet?

Dave,

And you can get rid of some wrinkles at the same time. But since the Botox only lasts for a few months, I wonder, if it DOES work, will you have to keep getting the injections? Of course.....a few months PF sounds like heaven to me, so I should just shut-up now, huh?

Good luck Dave. Let us know what you decide to do. Linda H
