Title: great results\
Post by kareno on Mar 15^th, 2003, 12:20pm

I have posted here a few times about my daughter who has been cronic for over 2 years. After many doctors, emergency rooms, nuro. appts. and over 30 different combinations of medications and every pain killer on the market she is now doing much better. We did the mushrooms 4 times and had gotten really good effects, no HA for 2 to 3 weeks at a time. The HA would come back though. We had been appealing a denial from her insurance co. for the botox which was finally approved for 2 treatments and she had it done 2 weeks ago. She has only had 1 HA since but does still get the pressure in her temple every few days. She is doing so much better. We are very happy with the results of the botox. The doctor said it may last from 2 to 3 months. I was not sure if it would work but so far so good. She had 35 shots to her forhead and neck. He also told us he was using just a small dose at first to see what her reactions would be. There has been no side effects at all, although her forhead does not wrinkle any more.
If anyone else had tried this treatment please write and let me know what your experience has been. Pain free days (and nights) to you all.
