Botox As Treatment

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Toledo, OH

Has anyone had Boxtox as part of their treatment? Before going to Cleavland clinic for second opinion my neurologist was giving my 40 injections in my skull every 6 weeks. Maybe it was helping stop the spread of my hemangioma. I am just curious because I have not seen anyone mention it.

I was starting botox to try to stop my chronic migraines the first set which lasted 12 weeks I didn't have a problem with. After they did the 2nd set that's when my seizures started. They started out as pseudo seizures from there I could be doing something and freeze and then they hit gran mal seizures where I can't breathe because my throat seizures and tightens up to the point that my husband or son have to get my throat to release so I can breathe.

Thanks @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member and @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I am not currently getting in the injections but I had them for about 5 months in a row then I switched neurologist and jaf Surgery. I was telling my mom about this site and she suggested I ask because she was curious
I was very ill, couldnt walk or eat certain foods. I wish I knew about this site three years ago.

I vaguely remember hearing of it but not from a neurologist. I agree with Settlers22, I'd do a bit of research since I don't think it's a very popular form of treatment.

I'd google it. I've never heard of such a treatment personally.
