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

Botox, on a botulinum 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 eight to nine headache days a month versus six to seven 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-Eaton syndrome and medications including botulinum toxins as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

You came to a point where you looked at yourself and you were really quite disgusted with what you saw. You knew deep inside it was not you. And there was only one way or the other to go. And you chose yourself. And I think that's very important for every person to know. When you start to believe in yourself and want to choose you, that's when it starts.

Hello, hello, hello.

Sabrina Zohar (1:53)

And welcome to another episode of The Sabrina Zohar Show. My name is Sabrina Zohar and I am your host.

It's fucking pub day. Today, my baby's out in the world, and you and I get to do this together. My babes, I am honored, grateful, excited to have you here. Don't forget, as always, rate, review the show, share it with your friends, and let's get right the fuck on into it. What was I like when I was in my heyday of dating?

Helly (2:15)

You were girl gone wild. And then you got wilder, and wilder, and wilder.

Sabrina Zohar (2:21)

What did you notice I was doing?

Helly (2:23)

I don't think I knew what you were doing, honestly. I think that you were everywhere, you were scattered, and you tried to maneuver yourself, like I know what I'm doing, I know how I'm gonna go about it. But you really didn't.

Sabrina Zohar (2:36)

No, I didn't. Were you worried about me?

Helly (2:39)

I was very concerned about you because I saw that you would leave for a date, and you would be so happy and so full of life, and you came back completely demoralized, sad, sulking, and that's not the way you're supposed to be coming back from a date.

Sabrina Zohar (2:56)

What did you notice? How did I perceive dating?

Helly (2:59)

I think you perceived it as the harder I try, the harder I try to make that person like me, it will happen. It's all about me doing everything I have to do, and it nearly broke you completely. It's physically, emotionally, on every level, exhausting.

Sabrina Zohar (3:17)

What was the behaviors that you noticed I did?

Helly (3:19)

You were very short tempered, you were hot and cold. The behavior was always, I'm doing great, great, great, and then you plummeted. And that was where I started to see, that's where I was concerned, where you would start at one level and then completely plunge.

Sabrina Zohar (3:42)

What did you notice I was doing with the guys that I was dating?

Helly (3:45)

You were always, seems to me, choosing the one that was completely unattainable. I mean, they were all the same guy, just different names, but they were all the same.

Sabrina Zohar (3:53)

What did, did you like any of them?

Helly (3:54)

They were okay. I mean, I don't think there was anything to dislike per se, but I mean, you know, I could see that they really were out for a good time with a lovely girl. They perceived it as we're going out for a date, we're going to have a good time. You perceived it as we may get married soon. Big difference. That's fair.
