It has been two weeks since my Botox treatment - 80 units all up, in my jaw, temporalis, forehead and between eyebrows. This is my first ever Botox treatment. I've got severe tension in my temples and cannot lay on my side in bed or even touch them, nothing relieves it. I've had two migraines since the injections - I normally only get two a year!
