Chronic migraine is 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:02)
Botox, onybotulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine before they start. It's not for those with 14 or fewer headache days a month. It prevents on average 8 to 9 headache days a month versus 6 to 7 for placebo.

Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor. Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition. Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue, and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness. Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eton syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

I have to have Alex join us.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:58)
He's going to go straight to questions.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:00)
Let's start right here in the second row.

**Faith Richardson** (3:02)
Faith Richardson, Auburn Blitz. Alex, how has it been, you know, just going through spring practice in comparison to, you know, where you were last year to where you are now going into fall camp?

**Alex McPherson** (3:13)
Yeah, it's been really fun, a lot, really exciting, just to be back to normal and where I was and just to have that strength back, you know, to kind of kick like I want to and like I used to. I think I'm kicking as good as I have since before I got sick and it's just really exciting getting to do that and play with the guys to the full extent.

**SPEAKER_10** (3:33)
On the right side, second row. Justin Ferguson, Auburn Observer. Alex, what would you kind of estimate your range is now? I know getting your power back was kind of a big thing. You had the accuracy last year, but getting back to, you know, kicking the longer range stuff.

**Alex McPherson** (3:46)
Yeah, I would say whatever they really need me out there for, I think I can do it at this point. We kicked yesterday before I actually got on a plane to come here and we made a 60 yarder as a unit. And so I think wherever you need me, I think at this point I'm confident in from kicking distance wise and yeah, just excited to have that strength back.
