Botox

My neurologist is an advocate of Botox for migraines. I know many people would be thrilled at the option of Botox and having their insurance cover it. Me? Uh, NO!!!

It's not so much a needle thing. I have had so many procedures involving needles that they don't phase me. It's the whole poison in my face and head that I have a problem with.

And, so help me, if I end up looking like Nancy Pelosi, someone is getting a beat down!

OMG

Those three letters - OMG - mean something different to me than most. No "Oh My God/Gosh or Goodness" here. It's all about OhMiGraine with me.

Yeah, I hear you out there. You are dedicating an entire blog to just having headaches?

No. A migraine is not just a headache. Migraine is a genetic neurological disease.

Disease. I hate that word. Probaby because I know there is no cure for this disease.
There is no rhyme or reason to who gets this disease or the severity of it.

Some lucky bastards get this disease and only have to deal with it a few times a month or less. Some women know they are going to have to deal with it every month around a certain time.

Some of us incredibly unlucky bastards get to deal with it, to varying degrees, nearly every single day of our lives.

Care to guess which group I happen to fall in?
