“Bad Side Effects from Botox - Saint Charles, IL”

Jan 24, 2011
Got 24 units of Boxtox only had a little amount near they eyes for crows feet. Now I can barely move. Been in bed all day. I am a personal trainer and pray to GOD to regain my strength so I can work come Monday.

I am feeling better each week and the acupuncture does help.I am a competitive runner and fear this season isn't going to happen for me. or my clients. i my loss my business from this if I can't hang in there. I am self employee and support my family. Just face each day one day at a time. Each day has been better then the last , then once in awhile I relapse The sinus pain seems to be gone but the other stuff still remains but not as bad.

I have had everything you are talking about and ended up in the hospital twice. For the itching because I developed hives that ended up closing my throat and also the muscles in my throat stopped working and had difficulty swallowing. Just don't panic , remember it will pass. At the 3 month point when I figured no more could happen ,the strange aniety started. Also I think the sore spot on the head is a swollen gland. Had them on the back of my neck too.

I am at the 5 month point and feeling much better. I have some weird muscle spasms but most of the other stuff is gone. It does go away. I only had 24 units as well. Keep busy. Rest when you have to. Each month will bring improvement. Oh coffee and caffine made it worse.

Okay I was doing really great.About six weeks of feeling fine then it all came back and this time I have terrible muscle soreness in my back, rib cage and abs. Anyone else get this? Spasms too in the upper back and rib cage.
At 4 months now. Nothing seems to last as long when it hits but the soreness is a bit new to me.

I am almost at 16 months. Everything seems to move around my body. I have pain where I hadn't before and other places are better. Now my ears are ringing and shoulders twitching and the spine pain that was gone is back. I am now thinking I am just going to have to learn to live with this, if you call it living.
