Botox Day: A Story in Pictures at the Hospital / Shmospital
lisapomerantzster: Are we there yet?
Are we there yet?
Is this for Migraines or Tardive Dyskinesia? That’s what I struggling with.
They use botox to paralyze the involuntary spasms of TD See this link below? It was an accident on my mouse but this publisher…I asked them yesterday, after six mos of providing free content, if I can write a tardive story. I still have not heard back. It might be a game changer. If they don’t let me write about that, then they don’t see me. I’m not an alarmist and know how to be balanced and fair. I just don’t know if they’ll let me be that. And that’s a deal breaker. If you click my link, you empower me to go further. Allison

The shots are for cervical Dystonia, cervical neuralgia and chronic migraine. Has the Botox been helping you? I hope so. Headed to your link now. Empowerment on!👍🏻

How come it takes 3-5 days to feel better? The effect of the injections should be immediate, right?

Unsure. The nerves don’t paralyze immediately. Last round, by day 3 I was good. I’ll know when I lose my smile. The trigeminal nerve makes it wonky. 🙃

Wow I was confused here – I was thinking Botox – whats going on?!
I used to suffer horrendously with migraines but have thankfully found a preventative medication that helps immensely. I generally only suffer a bad one, perhaps every two months rather than several a week. However I would do anything including this to get rid of them if they came back. I hope it works and you are better soon #stayclassy

I’m horrified of needles even though I have lots of tattoos and have had piercings in the past and of course 3 babies via c section but I still get anxiety over the slightest thought of needles. I understand yours is involuntary and I sure hope it works for you. Thanks so much for linking up with #momsterslink :)) Hope to see you tomorrow!

You know what? They are starting to work and I am starting to feel better! Shazam! I was worried a bit as I suffered through a few side effects which had me confused. As for photos, I proudly use my iPhone, and then I bring them through some filters in an app called Snapseed. Free app, and loads of fun and creativity with it. I love it! Thanks Laura. I hope all is well! 🙂
