Botox + Flu Q&A

Botox for crows feet around my eyes

I read somewhere online to wait to get Botox for a couple of weeks after the flu shot. Something about the body is developing antibodies from the flu shot and botox can cancel the vaccine and or not as effective. Can anyone confirm?

Hi docs. Can someone please tell me how to identify an allergy to Botox please. I have reacted horribly the last 2 times from it & I've had it before many times. Why am I all of a sudden reacting badly I ended up with flu like symptoms anxiety panic depression and tissue loss problem forming words & much more. Is it wise not to ever get it again? This sucks :(

I just got a flu shot and was told by the flu shot injector that the shot contains a very small trace of Neomycin. Would that be a problem if I get a Botox injection between eyebrows tomorrow?

My family doctor wanted me to get the Tdap vaccine & the flu shot for an upcoming medical exam. But it turns out that I was also due for my Botox appointment on that same day too. Is it ok to do the Tdap vaccine, flu shot & Botox on the same day? Will there be any effects?

It seems i got botox at a bad time. I had flu, bit thought inwas revovered and got botox. But I had high temperature, above 38 after about 12 hours from the injection. I had a temperature a day acfter the injection too. 

Ive had Botox a few times. Each time I seem to have a reaction or side effects where it feels like I have the flu for a couple weeks plus the anxiety that comes with that. I get it in between the brows. I love the results. Do I have other options? Such as xeomin? Or splitting up units over a few weeks! Or am I likely to have he same reaction? Is it harmful, or just symptoms? Thanks

I got 16 units of xeomin that did not work, so I went back after 4 wks and did a redo with 20 units of Botox. I know it is flu season, and I do have a cough with very little congestion, but my additional issue is with dizziness which I have seen is a side effect of both products. Am I crazy? Is all this dizziness from the flu or the injections? I have seen my Dr. and he only found an elevated white blood count. If this is due to the toxins, how long do you think it will last?

ave been getting Dysport injections every six months in my forehead, brow and around my eyes. Never had a problem. 3 days ago i had 30 units in each of the platysmal bands. I now have horrible flu like sore throat. I keep reading doctors say it is unlikely to be related ir that ive never heard of this reaction before.... yet im seeing dozens and dozens of ppl on here ask about it? What gives? It MUST be related. Havent slept....so much trouble swallowing. So so sore!
