Finally Found REAL Relief for my Migraines and TMJ

I have suffered from extreme migraines and TMJ for at least 15 years. I do and have tried all the things you're supposed - mouth guard, advil, muscle relaxers, cold treatment, hot treatment, massage, chiropractor and anything I could find (has anyone else been told to chew on an eraser to ease TMJ, well I was and yeah that didn't help at all). Although these things provide some minor relief I was constantly in pain... like 85% of the time. Anyone who suffers from migraines and TMJ knows that the pain they cause distracts from everything in life. You learn to function the best you can with the pain, because what choice do you have?
I started to hear about botox for migraines and TMJ relief. I didn't come to the decision lightly - I mean you're literally shooting toxins into your face - but the pain I was in was so great that I decided to give it a shot (no pun intended...ok maybe a little :)). I found Dr. Osborn and he changed my life. I'm not exaggerating. I've been seeing him for about 4 years. I started treatment with him at Boston Medical Center and when he moved his practice to Somerville I followed him there (for anyone in the Boston area, yes, he is worth crossing the river for!).
The relief the botox treatment with Dr. Osborn provides me has improved the quality of my life beyond my wildest expectations. I have gone from have extreme pain (and i mean EXTREME, debilitating pain) 20-25 days of the month to having some pain maybe 3-5 days a month, usually towards the end of the 3 months in between treatments. Now don't get me wrong, it's an intense process having those shots, but it is WORTH IT. It is truly a GAME CHANGER! My hubby has noticed the difference, my friends have noticed the difference, and my co-workers have noticed the difference. Not being in pain all the time... I'm happier, have more patience, want to spend more time with the people I love, and don't need to hide in a dark room all the time anymore.
I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Osborn. He is caring, patient, kind, knowledgeable, and actually quite funny! He suffers from migraines as well and has this treatment, so he really gets it. He goes out of his way to talk to the insurance company to get me coverage. He always answers my emails or calls me back. He's always there when I need him. I also can't finish this review without talking about his AMAZING staff. Jenn, Alicia, Diane, and Roxanne to name the ladies I deal with the most are stellar. They too are caring, patient, kind, knowledgeable, and funny! They also go above and beyond dealing with the insurance company, they always answer my emails and call me back and are always there for me when I need them (including holding my hand while I'm getting the shots if I want!).
If you suffer from migraines, TMJ or like me, both - I promise you that if you can get half the relief that I do from botox with Dr. Osborn, you're whole life will change for the better. This is it, this is the relief you've been looking for! Don't let any fears or anxiety you have about doing this stop you because IT IS WORTH IT!

Your story is incredible; thank you for sharing that with us! It's wonderful that botox has made such a difference for you. One part that really stood out to me was "Jenn, Alicia, Diane, and Roxanne to name the ladies I deal with the most are stellar. They too are caring, patient, kind, knowledgeable, and funny!" . Would it be alright if we shared your story with our team here? Thanks for your trust.
