30 Injections of Botox For Migraines. Week Later, No Feeling In My Forehead and Eyelids Droopy?

i recently had 30 injections for chronic migraines in my neck, scalp and forehead. i have now found after a week, that i still do not have feeling in my forehead and it has caused my eyelids to become droopy. I also have noticed extreme fatigue. are these side effects normal for that amount of injections? will the forehead numbness wear off so my eyelids return to normal?
