How about an update?
Well it’s been long enough! I’ve still been around, reading friends’ blogs. Just haven’t felt like blogging for whatever reason.
So you all know I’m seeing the pain clinic for back pain, but that the Dr. feels he can help with my headaches. I’ve been doing physical therapy (for my back) since the treatment plan. It’s been a couple of months of PT and I’m not seeing any results yet. But that’s not the good part.
The good part is this – my pain doc is working on the headache angle and I think we have actually hit on something.
I KNOW!
So we did some (more) nerve blocks, these in the back of my head on the right side. So those were about like the previous nerve blocks, only effective as long as the local anesthesia is working. But that led my doc to think that Botox in the same locations might work. And so last Tuesday we did Botox injections in 3 locations, around the back of my head on the right side. So he said it would probably take a few days to see any results. I waited hopefully… and then on Thursday I woke up, and my headache was much better than normal (on the right side). It still switches back and forth to the left side (where the pain is its normal bad-ness). As the day progresses, my headache gets worse and gets back to its normal levels. It also seems to be affected by not enough sleep and weather (worse before storms). So I’m still figuring out how much it has helped.
But clearly it has had some effect. And that is really good news!
Here is an overdue update on my hair…this summer and fall my hair was normal on top (blondish) and then purple on the bottom half. Here are some pictures for you…

I hope the Botox just keeps helping. Your hair is cute now…didn’t you get it cut again? I meant to tell you on Sunday, but then for some reason I didn’t get it out.
Your hair was cute before too!
very nice hair, and good luck with the botox!
I’m so glad you had some success with the Botox!!! And the haircut – perfect! Love it.
Purple? wow, that’s brave.
