How Long Does It Take For Botox Effects?

A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭
Surprise, AZ

I had botox about 5 days ago. I don't feel anything other than a small bruise on my neck and some very very slight stiffness between my eyebrows. I don't want to wake up surprised that my face won't move LOL
How long does it usually take for the stiff botox feeling to really take effect?

Do Others Think That You Now Have A Migraine Since You Got What You Wanted Done Not What They Wanted?

A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭
Grand Rapids, MI area

I had the above occur and someone got angry at me for this when in reality I thought I could have one all day and after work it started but I tried preventing it with meds and water. This did not work and thus it became non functional after we did what I wanted and did not get to what they wanted to do. I believe the stress from this person and this incident and the stress at work triggered it. How do you deal with this?

A MyMigraineTeam Member

It sounds like a non-believer. If they have never had one, they seem to be the person that has little to no compassion for others and is very selfish. Move on from people like this. If they have no… read more

Anyone Get Migraines From Iphones??

A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭
Matlock, UK

I get migraines from fluorescent light and more recently my iPhone triggers migraines almost instantly.
Whilst Migralens glasses help with fluorescent lighting they don't help with the iPhone.

Anyone else effected by light from iPhone triggering migraines??
Have you found any alternative mobiles that don't trigger Migraines??

Would love to hear from you

Thank you

A MyMigraineTeam Member

Rose colored glasses? They block the blue. Can't hurt to try.

Vail, CO

Currently, I am seeing one in Glenwood Springs that comes to eagle 2 xs a month and i have a hard time reaching them. I live in vail, Co. so i have to drive an hour and a half next week to get to their glenwood office so think i might as well get one in Denver that might be less busy. I hear this one is great.

Same with me, mine also went down my back. And less on my shoulders. She felt what was tight and just kept putting needles in.
