Botox

About a year ago, my neurologist and I decided I should take a break from the Botox injections I was getting every three months for my migraines. She said that sometimes the Botox needs to stop for a while and later started up to give the treatment a reset. I had an appointment for my first Botox injections as part of this new round of treatments. However, the Headache Clinic called yesterday and rescheduled for today. I was ok with this, but disappointed because I was supposed to see my neurologist, who is moving to another state, for the last time. She had helped me so much and I wanted to tell her goodbye. When they rescheduled my appointment, I was scheduled to see someone else. I hope this new person is as good as my neurologist at giving the injections quickly and efficiently.

By the way, the picture above is of a model whose advertising MISTR, a service that will send you free PrEP through the mail. You have to fill out an application/survey, meet virtually with one of their doctors, and use one of their pharmacies. However, the STI testing required to get a prescription is completely free if you use their at home testing. It’s a really great service, and they are great to deal with. If you need/want to take PrEP or know someone who does, I highly recommend using MISTR.

From MISTR:

Have you heard of MISTR? You can get your PrEP prescribed online and delivered for free. No doctor visit, no needles and no paperwork. Save $20 with my promo code JOS44.

If you follow this link, I will earn a referral fee of $20. The referral bonus is not the reason I’m adding this to today’s post, I’m adding it because I think it’s a great service and the model in the picture is hot.

    I trust that your doctor does not dress quite like that:)

    Getting PreP with MISTR seems to be rather casual. At clinics here in England you cannot be prescribed until you have attended the clinic for an interview with a medic and a blood test to check either kidney or liver function (I forget which) since PreP can affect one of them.

    A leading clinic in London reports that new HIV infections have dropped enormously since the introduction of free PreP.

    I hope your nasty migraine problems get solved pdq. Poor you.

      MISTR not only tests for STIs, but also your creatine levels to check kidney functions. My primary doctor does a few other tests every six months to supplement the tests they do. The original survey to fill out is comprehensive and the first meeting with the doctor is thorough enough. The yearly visits after that are pretty perfunctory. I believe there should be a way to have easy access to PrEP along with proper education on how to use it.

      And, no, by doctor at the headache clinic is a woman, so I hope she doesn’t dress that way. 😂 I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t be able to hold up that speedo in the same way.
