well, another update. I have seen two pain specialist. Both are in agreement, Botox is a good solution. They both also said, this is not a common occurrence. I though my RO might be crazy when she said she has not seen this before. Then I thought, she does not treat 100s of H and N patients, so I will cut her a break.

Anyway, I hope to be on treatment in a couple of weeks. I will keep you all abreast of the outcome. Hope it works!!!!
