did you go back to "normal" when it all wore off?

yeah im looking forward to that too. didn't help that my dr used to be president of the AAPS and fell apart like a wet sponge when i had this reaction. at first i blamed the dysport but now i just think he overdosed me out of carelessness and greed. :> i am soooo tired of feeling and looking this way. sooooo tired. fully planning to come back here when its better. sure would be nice to hear from at least one other person who actually did go back to normal. glad you did.

Here is a review from a community member who used Dysport, and you will see as you read through the comments she went back to normal also - hang in there, it should work through your system & be gone. I know its no fun in the meantime though.

thanks megan. i have read some people who did go back to normal in varying lengths of time which is good to hear. one thing different about my symptoms is that they got worse when it started wearing off. so it looked really bad while it was active in the first 3 months. (unnaturally hard shiny forehead and super low heavy brows ) but when it started to go away, i got these weird gashes on the side of my face. yes they were not there before, i have pictures and my dr didn't deny it. they were definitely not there before. so.. im waiting for it to wear off completely, but in actually the symptoms got worse as it started to wear off, which is something i haven't seen a lot of. so i was hoping to see improvement as it wore off but it got much worse before it is getting better. this -isn't- my normal wrinkles coming back, they are huge deep really unnatural looking folds that are much bigger/deeper than any of my other normal wrinkles/lines. they come and go and are really bad sometimes. this is what i dont understand. one doctor from here emailed me privately and told me he sees this commonly. he said 'the most common place for the folds to form' is 'the lateral forehead'. so he admitted he has seen this before however, not publicly. so im trying to get it to work through my system however, its discouraging because i was really hoping as it started to wear off the nightmare would be over but really it was just beginning. have you heard of anyone where something similar happened. i have a high metabolism so would hope it has a chance to work through a little faster. the fact its taking so long and also, not healing on any logical line but is just totally out of control and all over the place and gets weirder and stranger without any logical sense to it.. is very wearing. im still hoping it will wear off and be normal again. im trying to hang in there.

yes I've been doing a lot of research lately and it's been very interesting. i've also recommended this site to others as I think reading peoples experience is very, very helpful and interesting. I will try to talk to those members, it seems they both had different situations than i did and perhaps worse effects.. my dr originally told me i 'might' get 2 or 3 months out of this and when i went back to see him about the problems he said, maybe four months. the new lines were not there yet at the time so i couldnt ask about those but will in a few weeks if they are still there.

I feel about 80% normal now at 3 months and i am keeping ice packs on which seems to help sometimes and just trying to ignore it and get back to being me.

i think it is very true that the timeline usually given is not necessarily for it -all- to wear off but just for enough to wear off that another dose is needed... thats apparently -not- always the same as how long it takes to actually all go away.. (though sometimes it is) so thats what i was wondering by asking this question, kind of a survey of how long it really took everyone til they felt it was all really gone. :> thanks :}
