So if you read my other entry you will know I had my stroke 2 years ago and currently suffer from Central Post Stroke Pain.We have been trying to figure out different Medications that go hand in hand to try and reduce the pain I deal with daily. With that being said. I see my neurologist and a regular basis. He has been amazing with me and I communicate a lot with him through email when Im having very bad days. He really has been a blessing to me. About a year ago my PCP retired and I haven't tried to find a new one. So today I finally went and seen a new Dr. She was very nice and seemed to want to help me because not only do I suffer from the stroke but since I had had a few other medical conditions pop up. I take my neurologists word and advice seriously. So she has suggested that I have Botox injections for headaches. Now I am very cautious as to the medications I take and now with Botox being laid on the table I am nervous. Its a bacteria I am purposely putting in my body. I know that it has its ups and downs. Me being a nurse I know this. But when it comes to me Im not sure if this is for me. What are some stories anyone has with Botox for headaches from strokes? Good or Bad..

On a side note I also have an upcoming appointment for Acupuncture. Im a little nervous about this. Any stories about that procedure as well are appreciated.
