Help [People who know about medicine etc]

Right, My mum has M.E and she suffers from really bad migranes, A few months ago (at xmas) she had botox, and she didnt have any migranes. Now that its worn off, shes started getting them again, So we were wondering..

Do you think that she would be able to get it on National Health? LOL.

personally spending my life in hospitals and knowing the state of this counties NHS, no :rolleyes:

Nah she dont drink coffee, Well she does sometimes but it hasnt made any difference in the past.

Its just weird that since the botox has worn off, shes started getting migranes again.

i would get migraines ALOT when i didn't drink coffee so i thought that meant something

Oh, well shes drunk it in the past and not had it for weeks etc and during when she had botox etc so dont think thats anything :P

I always get migraines. I don't think she could get botox on the NHS.

oh, well shes deffo gettin it again but mabye not on NS then

Hey, supposingly migranes are connected to the gullet so therefore it's the food and drink that affects the pain in your head.

My mum suffers from migrane and I highly doubt that botox cured the migranes.. and being realistic do you really think tax payers would accept paying for someone to have botox? no.

so the answer is no

[leah]

Lol thats pretty cool
Botox is a cure for migrains?
never knew that before :D

I would say that if botox was genuinely helping migranes then you could possibly get it done on the NHS.

I've heard about people having boob jobs done on the NHS for reasons such as back ache (reduction) or low self esteem (enlargment). So I would say it would be possible to have botox even more so for the fact it costs a lot less, really though it would depend on how bad/often they were and I would reccomend talking to a doctor about other solutions.

I don't know why anyone would get botox. My mom gets it done like all the time and I'm like MOM, you're going to look like a blow-up doll if you keep it up, you won't be able to make any facial expession because all of the muscles in your face will be frozen.

Anyway, if it works for your mom's headaches and it makes her pretty, score for her and I hope your health-care provider will cover it for you!
