  Chronic migraine is 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more. Botox, onabotulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine before they start.

  Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor. Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition.

Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms and dizziness. Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection.

  You're used to crisis mode. It's your default. But let me tell you something. That's not strength. That's survival. You're not meant to live in chaos. You're not meant to thrive off of stress and adrenaline. You're not meant to manufacture struggle just to feel purpose. Sometimes the hardest healing is learning to function when life is stable. Remember,

  This is more than likely a childhood trauma response. It can be fixed. So learning to enjoy calm without sabotaging, learning to build instead of constantly rebuilding.
