I am so excited
wade is off agin to his specialist to consult avbout botox injections for his head pain, he is oked by goverment for them!!!! If it works he will not be taking pain meds!!!!!!!!!
I was so worried that we would have to pay them its over 400 hundred for the treatment., but he qualified for help!

Will also be discussing the enlarged liver at that time.

Great news! Keep us informed about his liver. Hugs and prayers.

I hope they will do that for him. Bradys doctor poop pooped the treatment. But my thought is why not try it.....if it works then all is good otherwise no big deal.
Keep us updated !

hugs.....pam

I will Pam, the specialist at Parkhill rehab in London ontario is the one who had suggested it.

How exciting! That was one thing dh was always so lucky with. He didn't get headaches and no one could tell him why.

normaeh 07/19/2014

Wade didnt at first, I am wondering now if it didnt redgister as pain then

muffindog 07/25/2014

That's quite possible. Any progress on this yet?

normaeh 07/26/2014

we are waiting a few weeks seem to take forever

normaeh 08/12/2014

He had his consultation, and Friday he goes down to have his injection.
Specialist is being good to Wade, he said just come down that there is always leftover botox and Wade csan have it with out charge, HOORAY!!! saves 400 dollars, each trip down ends up costly as Fred looses a days pay, gas and a meal

muffindog 08/13/2014

That's awesome Norma! Maybe I should find a specialist with some of that left over botox. I'm starting to find lines I'm not comfortable with :)

normaeh 08/15/2014

Wade had it done hooray!

yesterday he had a real; bad one, it is to take 12 to 15 hrs but after 3 he said it had cleared quite a bit, now he is to take asa to bring down swelling our fingers are crossed that it makes a difference, will check in next week

normaeh 08/15/2014

normaeh 08/21/2014

muffindog 08/22/2014

Norma....... how are Wades headaches? Did the botox help ?

normaeh 09/04/2014

botox is working, he is nearly pain free, uses maybe 2 regular tylenol about once or 2x a week for minimal pain. so glad . not everyone benefits but he did
