Re Botox Injections - Jeff and

[Guest guest]

Both of you - thanks for your input.

Like I said, there are definite, legitimate medical reasons for

using it. It is just that it is too frequently used when it really

isn't the best option available. And the patient isn't always fully

informed about either it or the alternatives.

My main knowledge of it is cosmetically for wrinkles and medically

for trigger points. I don't have much of any knowledge on the other

medical applications. Input from folks who have had it done, good or

bad, is really helpful.

Even for trigger points, like I said earlier - it does work. If

someone wants a very fast, temporary " fix " - it will do the job. And

if anyone chooses to go that route, that is their choice and I am in

no position to criticize that decision. The only position I am

taking on the subject is that I want people on this list to be able

to make that decision on their own, based on knowledge of what is

involved and available to them - and not just because a doctor tells

them they have to.

Again, thanks to both of you for chiming in.
