Day 41 since I was injected with botox and diagnosed with botulism! My heart keeps flipping into irregular rhythms. Makes my chest hurt so badly and my breathing then becomes difficult, then I need oxygen. I'm uncoordinated, my hands tremor and I drop things. I have random muscle spasms, twitches and shooting pains and have developed a neck tic. Why is this even allowed to be used for cosmetic reasons and why wasn't I warned about anything?! These symptoms are NOT on my consent! Be real doctors!
