Yay, Jilli! That's wonderful. I'm so glad you're pain free right now.

I love Emmett and Matilda's relationship. I remember how fraught it was for him at the beginning, and it's beautiful to see the evolution.

Hope the pain has subsided, Suzi. Please wish CJ a happy 21st from me!

I WOKE UP WITHOUT A HEADACHE!

I mean, mornings (even the late time I lurch out of bed at) are still vile, because my brain and body don't work like that, but I woke up, braced for the inevitable pain, and it wasn't there.

Jilli, that is so amazing! Yay!

It is such a joy to read the news of a pain free Jilli! May the pain~free~ma grow and multiply!

Pain free is the way yup be, Jilli!!!!

CJ had attended asserted his 21-ness buy picking hip a handgun he ordered a while ago but couldn't get until hee was officially 21.

Mini's have garnered him shots of Cuervo, Jager, and Jameson so far.

We almost have my BFF home so she can nap post procedure and Kelly and I can go play. My hip had been great today which means I can drink some too!!!

Wow, jilli! How did you find someone so quickly to do the Botox?

Booze and a gun is a very American way to celebrate turning 21.

My wonderful dentist figured out that I had hellacious tension in my jaw, temples, and base of my skull. He has the same thing, and treats it with Botox. After a long conversation with him on Tuesday, I decided to give it a try yesterday, to see if it made a difference.

But did you go to his doc, or what? Did they do any further testing?

(I ask because I might also be helped by this but don't know)

Awesome!Dentist did the Botox himself (he also does it ON himself), because he knew how to pinpoint the exact muscle groups. We did a bunch of pressure tests on Tuesday, including a terrifying one that involved extreme pressure on the outside and inside of my jaw muscles. After that pressure was applied for a few minutes, the tension released, and the migraine I had dropped to around a 1 on the pain scale. Full disclosure: the extreme pressure test/massage involved my dentist sticking his thumb in my mouth so he could grip the muscle on both sides. It was, as he described it "fuck my life" painful.

It was the terrifying extreme pressure test that clinched the your constant migraine is triggered by the never-ending tension your muscles are under diagnosis. Which matched with my experience of having some relief when I got a massage that focused on my neck, head, and jaw.
