It's been 1 month today since I had the Botox injection and I'm happy to
report that I have no neck pain, only a little stiffness. I saw the Neuro
last friday and he predicts that the effects of the Botox should last another
2 to 3 months and he will then repeat it.
Following the initial shot I had a couple days of mild flu-like symptoms(the
Dr had predicted I might have) but I had no muscle weakness in my neck(he had
 said that was also a possible, temporary side effect). I would say I got
immediately better.

Sorry for the delay in responding, I acquired a new computer and upgraded to
Windows 95 and I've been tied up moving over to the new system.
