Has anyone had an artery hit during a dermal filler injection or been diagnosed with lupus after injection?

By liliruss on 29 Feb 2012

I was curious if anyone had been diagnosed with lupus after having an injection go wrong?! I had my lips injected and they hit an artery, fortunately it did not cause necrosis but shortly after I started having many interesting symptoms and was diagnosed with lupus. My dr thinks it could have been caused by injection? And now that I have been diagnosed with lupus, is it safe to ever get injections again? Thanks!
