Botox For Migraines

[peterdw]

Hello,

I've had migraines for three years now, have tried the whole gauntlet of medicines to no avail, and am ready to try Botox. I don't want to go to the cosmetic places but rather to a trained neurologist or specialist with experience in using this for migraines. I'd appreciate any help,

Thank you, Peter

I know there are several specialists here in this but do not remember where. Try the find-a-doctor search engines at the Bumrungrad, BNH and Samitivej websites, putting in "neurology" as the specialist and tyhen looking for headache/botox as a special interest

Hey there, I had a look around and I am going to the neurology department at Bangkok hospital. They specialise in it (not sure of cost have consultation on the 8th) I get migraines and TMJ.

Is there any research or studies that botox can help with migraines? Web links appreciated.

as a side question have you tried mersyndol forte? each tablet contains 450mg paracetamol 30mg codeine and 5mg doxylamine

as you may guess its quite potent and something specifically effective against migraines. usual dosage is 2 tablets at a time max 8 a day. Coffee because of its caffeine can boost the effects if needed.

Yes. Type in Dr. Guyuron and migraine in google.
