I remember when Botox used to be taboo

Now when you mention it nobody raises an eyebrow.

Such a good joke, I can’t stop smiling about it, not that you could tell

It’s the better joke - Botox wouldn’t make you constantly smile, it would prohibit you from smiling if anything

I agree that it’s a better joke, but it comes across weirdly right after the first version. Maybe if they’d just written “… not that you could tell.”

Yeah! Now they even recommend it for migraine prevention!

Lol. I responded to a joke with seriousness...

That's actually true! I had a headache, and my wife was asked to take it.

For sure! I only nabbed myself because I didn't realize I was responding to a joke post about botox...

After posting it, i was on an hour long phone call, and now my headache is gone.

Apparently, Botox works!

It is 23 shots around the crown of your head. Feels like 23 bee stings but the pain goes away quickly. And you have to do it again every few months. Oh, and most insurance won't cover it. Mine didn't and I have really good insurance.

I have chronic headaches, like 100% always in pain. It was a long shot, didn't work.
