Botulinum Toxin Injection
This is not so much of a question as a comment on the write-up on Botox Injections. The first is to make sure that the doctor knows if the insurance company will pay for it.

Go to www.fda.gov and search on "Botox approved indications" (or do a Google search using that).
That's me up shit creek and no paddle as I can't afford medical insurance and there's only so much a gp can do I just ave to shut up and get on with it alone
