BoscoPiko Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Hi everyone, I wanted to take a minute and share some of my efforts to battle the bunny. I have quite a few stones that have been left un-turned but today I turned one more. My insurance is dreadful even though I have the best I can get. I have been curious about Botox for some time and decided to just pay out of pocket today (not 100% for CH mind you (middle aged chic here), but a mixture). I went in with pretty measurable shadows. The process was easy and less painful than i had anticipated. The end result that I'm sorta excited about is that my dancing eye is gone and my shadows were lessened! I couldn't tell you about how it effected my CH as I don't believe I'm in cycle, but the minor pluses count in my book! I don't think it will help with a cycle to be 100% honest but it has helped me to stop winking at every passer by. Not much but something! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun brearley Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 @BoscoPikothe main thing is did it get rid of any wrinkles you may have had ? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiny Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Give it two weeks Bosco! You will be able to see the full effect then. I am sure they told you this already, but it is fun to watch a furrow vanish. Two birds and all that, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how reversible my resting BF is but it was worth a shot. They used 50 units so I should have some noticeable improvement. Two birds is always great The cost is not real sustainable but I have been curious for some time so I just went for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiny Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Bosco, your insurance should cover it for CH! And they usually have a partial bottle left over to hit any spot you request. You know, cause it has to be trashed after all. Why are you footing the bill? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey @spiny, Yes you are correct that they cover it but only if I follow their so called protocol and try a bunch of things I'm not willing to. They told me the next thing I needed to try before it would be approved was a nerve block and I'm just not ok with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiny Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 I agree! I would not try that either! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried occipital and a spheno ganglion block, neither worked, the occipital one triggered one when it sent a jolt along that nerve into my temple, also rather unpleasant with the needles in the back of the head and even more so the one up the nose, so do not blame you for not wanting to try that, I know botox is a semi regular suggestion for migraines and have heard it attemted for cg, but again it is another of those "Oh, yeah here try something else that is basically anecdotally helpful" lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
