"i have had migraines for 40 years and botox injections have worked well for the past 2 years but since october ( it is now january) they are starting to come back with a vengeance. i was having them every day over the thanksgiving and christmas holidays and my doctor put me on a prednisone pack for 5 days and i felt great but as soon as i quit taking it, the headaches came back. they were mild and then 3 days later i felt pretty good but got an aura, so i knew a bad one was coming. sure enough, a bad one woke me up and it was one of the worst ones i have had in years. i called my doctor and they suggested i come in for a toradal shot. i got the shot and in 10 minutes, sweet relief!! my arm hurt like hell for a while but who cares!"
