New Meds, Day I
So I got Botox done in November and I’ve been a little underwhelmed by the results. First I must say that it does in fact freeze your face muscles. However, I’ve only seen a decrease of about 3 migraines/month. Which IS an improvement (ie, I don’t have to refill my Imitrex as often), but not significant enough to warrant $905 every 3 months.
OH, AND DIDN’T I TELL YOU…It cost me $905???
But that’s another story–I was told it would cost $750 bucks, that I had to pay for up front for my neurologist to even order it, and then 2 weeks AFTER I got the injections I got a call saying I owed them more money. I’m not going to explain my disdain right now because I’m still in the process of fighting Susquehanna Health from having to pay that extra amount.
Fortunately, my neurologist was not upset when I told him I was not forking over that kind of money to him again but I would be going to Ecker Plastic Surgery to get the same procedure down for $300-$600 (it depends on how much of the Botox solution you get injected). I’m more than willing to continue getting the injections if it does work. The research shows the more times you get it, the more effective it is. My next Botox appointment is in February with a follow-up with the neurologist.
Ok, so back to my meds…
