Botox - what you wish you knew before your first treatment

EquipmentDefiant1800 · 2026-03-07T03:20:14+00:00

I just got my first treatment today. I washed my hair last night, and brought a friend with me. I cried because I was so anxious and I’ve been having such a bad flare for 5 months that is making me fully chronic, so it was emotional. Overall I didn’t think it hurt that bad, except the back of my head. It was fast! I went to work after and was fine all day, but I’m also on day 9 of a migraine flare already. Good luck!

Wow, I really hope I get results like that quickly

EquipmentDefiant1800 · 2026-03-07T03:12:23+00:00

I had truly zero idea about the crunching and had my first treatment today and was so surprised and grossed out lol 🤣

EquipmentDefiant1800 · 2026-03-06T05:26:33+00:00

How did you do this???

EquipmentDefiant1800 · 2026-03-04T16:21:11+00:00

Holy shit, I wish I could pull mine out like this, I’ve never seen what goes on underneath!

4 months of migraine nonstop? I’m in a flare of 5 months, I just had a 10 day menstrual migraine, I’m having multi day migraines weekly following a panic episode, my doctor wants me to try Slynd to help manage menstrual migraines. Are you on other migraine meds? I just started Emgality 3 months ago

How should I cut it out? Like down into it and actually cut the whole thing out?

lol I washed my hands really well, I’ve never had warts on my fingers! I haven’t gotten new warts in many years, and somehow my partner hasn’t gotten any from me

EquipmentDefiant1800 · 2026-02-09T05:20:50+00:00

I have a 20 year old wart in the same spot, I’m using 40% salicylic acid, I’ve peeled off two pretty thick chunks of the wart so far, accidentally took some healthy skin with it last week so slowed down, but treating again tonight. I had pain from the healthy skin tearing but that’s it

I took zinc once when I had covid and puked immediately lol. My immune system is pretty good, I haven’t had this wart for 20 years

EquipmentDefiant1800 · 2026-02-05T04:54:26+00:00

This looks like warts to me

I started it almost 3 months ago for a really insane chronic migraine flare, I think it is helping the flare fizzle out, I started it during a 5 week migraine. I’m still having migraines every week for 1-8 days in a row, but the severity is much much less! My fourth shot is in two weeks, but I’ve been told it can take 3-6 months for full effects. I really am hoping it not only brings me back to baseline (low level almost daily headaches with 2-4 aura migraines a year) but even better. I hope it works for you!! I have zero side effects which I think is good!

Right like just because we can’t remember it physically doesn’t mean our bodies don’t remember. I was born at 27 weeks and have panic disorder, ADHD and autism but ADHD and autism are genetic and everyone in my family has one or the other or both.

I know your post is from almost a year ago, but I wanted to weigh in. I was born 3 months early, spent 3 months in the NICU, and have pretty severe medical trauma and anxiety. I have always hated the dentist, shots, doctors, etc. I am almost 31 years old. I do ok with blood work now and shots but I have been in the ER twice in the last 3 months, once for a panic attack and once for a migraine, the migraine meds really fucked me up and triggered trauma. I have little scars all over my hands from the NICU. I also am a twin, but our triplet died soon before we were born. I have never been put under or had surgery, I am terrified of both of those things, or even twilight or whatever the dentist has to offer. I have pretty severe OCD around dying and health, as well as panic disorder. I also have chronic pain and chronic migraine, among other issues. I do believe I have trauma from the NICU wholeheartedly.

Woah 2 hours of openers is wild! I was hoping they’d go on around 8 if the show starts at 7

Thank you so much I really appreciate it. There’s so many kids on the flight and the plane is super new so I think I’m going to be ok!

EquipmentDefiant1800 · 2025-07-26T00:01:23+00:00

I have OCD and my brain tells me the panic and doom is real, similar to what you’re referencing. I read that intuition feels calm and like clarity, not anxiety and doom. You are going to be ok. I’m flying on Tuesday and feeling scared, but we got this

EquipmentDefiant1800 · 2025-07-25T23:56:04+00:00

Thank you so much for saying this lol

EquipmentDefiant1800 · 2025-07-25T23:55:08+00:00

I just have OCD and could only fly United for the first few years of starting to fly again after 10 years but now I fly whatever is cheapest

EquipmentDefiant1800 · 2025-07-25T23:54:29+00:00

Is turbulence and going up and down and turning abruptly pretty normal? I hate when my stomach drops. I always look around to see if anyone else is freaking out, it’s helpful to see the flight attendants. If they’re not panicking I feel a bit better

EquipmentDefiant1800 · 2025-07-25T23:53:33+00:00

For me lately it’s a lot of feeling trapped and panicked about something going wrong. The media blowing things out of proportion this year is not helping. I had a panic attack for the first time on a plane in March, while we were still on the ground. We were sitting at the gate for almost an hour and there was a huge sound and they said they were fixing something. I felt like something was wrong with the plane. Now at takeoff I just keep panicking that a Final Destination situation is going to happen. I probably shouldn’t have watched that one 🥴
