Health Update: She be tired (Patreon)
Content
I don't know if it's normal to be a bit more tired and out of it the first few days after Botox injections, but so far, it seems to be typical for me 🤷♀️
It has been a very emotional week in both extremes, which probably doesn't help 😅 But I felt really tired at first last time, too, I think...? Does anyone remember? 🙈 I've also noticed I'm having a lot of random muscle spasms, but I am assuming that's weather-related since the Botox hasn't really had time to properly kick in yet.
I am glad to finally have had my appointment and my second treatment, though! Although, of course the weather has once again decided to stop attacking me right as I'm getting help 🤦♀️ OKAY ZEUS, I GET IT. YOU JIST DON'T LIKE MY BRAIN. WHATEVER 🙄 Just kicking me when I'm down smh my head. Rude.
I will say that I think the Botox has managed to move my baseline a little bit in the right direction already. I don't think my brain health has been as bad at any point since about 2 weeks after the first injection. Even when I was really struggling, I was still not having as many seizures as I had been having pre-Botox...which is honestly kind of upsetting to think about because I was really struggling when it was wearing off...Idk how I survived before 🫣 But the important thing is we're finally on the upswing 🥳
Hopefully I'm able to get things figured out for the government to help cover the cost so I'm able to continue getting this treatment. Otherwise...idk either I'll see about trying nerve blocks (different needles) or just hope that the Botox has done enough in the first two treatments to at least have left me better off than I was before 🤷♀️
In the meantime, I have spent literally over $1000 on just the Botox and am still having to take and pay for another migraine medication and all my other non-migraine meds 😅😬 But I have high hopes things will all work out for the better 😊
