4. I suffered from 25 migraines a month

and after a year of trying a zillion different solutions (none worked) I was looking for a good, tall bridge to jump off of they, were so awful. Finally a radiologist who gave me a mammogram told me she gets Botox and it works. I was willing to try anything at that point. I was able to see her fantastic doctor, who was a pioneer in Botox used to treat migraines, within 3 months. Since I tried everything already she was able to inject me as soon as my insur approved it. It takes about 9 months for the full effect to happen but any relief was wonderful. Now I get a slight headache almost every day but I can manage them with coffee, aspirin, acetaminophen and a medication for migraines. What a relief. If tRump kills my ACA I can't afford the $15,000 a year for the Botox. That could drive me to fly to DC and grab his fat neck in my two hands and squeeze as hard as my head felt (squeezed in a vice).
