Hi all,
I have Smoldering Myeloma, but also have migraines. In January I received my first Botox injections to help with my migraines. It was repeated in May and I will get another dose August 31st. I was diagnosed with SMM in August 2012.
What do you all know about Botox and multiple myeloma?

Re: Botox injections for migraines
Hi MRSV118,
I don't have myeloma (my husband does), but I can relate to your migrane issues. I woke up with a migrane one morning and had it for six years - botox was the only thing that kept it under control. My understanding is that Botox is that botox is not systemic -- does not travel through your blood, which I guess is why you have to have so many injections!
Good luck. It's no fun being in that kind of pain.

Re: Botox injections for migraines
Now I wonder which will be worse, the migraines or future bone pain? Thanks for the reponse, the botox definitely has made the headaches more tolerable. this will be my third dose.
