One, the 30-something shots in my head from the eyebrows to the base of my neck were quite painful. And I'm not one who shuns shots.

Botox never did anything for me, so I halted treatment.

After trying all kinds of treatments and prophylactics, I decided just to treat the headaches when they occcur. Triptans usually work along with the occasional fiorinal. I've just learned to live with them.
