Dysport: Stories

sadly its seems the 'unrelated' comment is standard when something goes really wrong.. it seems to come up in many of the reviews here. this puzzled me at first until i realized the language they use they are trained to use, it is to avoid admission of liability. when someone complains, they always revert to the same set of catch phrases, 'unrelated' is a big one. that is purely to avoid liability, it says right on the label and right on the official website it is known to cause all those side effects. but the practitioner will be careful to call everythign 'unrelated' as this will avoid any admission of liability on their part. then you will have to 'prove' it was related rather than them ever admitting it, which is obviously much more difficuilt.

i have been told to talk to lawyers too, but i just dont have a lot of hope, i have not seen anyone here who has had a succesful outcome that way, or even read of any successful law suits against physicians or other injectors unless they wer just totally unlicensed or something. if you hear anything from any attorneys i would be curious what they say. i really dont think i have any hope in my case, i did not have physical sickness but a -lot- of anxiety and also some -very- unaesthetic cosmetic results, which are possibly permanent.. my dr too used the word 'unrelated' suggesting i had 'neurological issues' and the dysport couldnt possibily have anythign to do with it when obviously, it directly caused my problems.

its all about avoiding liability. i think they are trained to use certain phrases cause they come up again and again. im starting to thiknk in terms of 'eye for an eye' everytime a dr messes up someones life with this stuff they should just be forced to be severely overdosed with a badly placed application of the drug they used. a good six months or so of torment in this way would be ample punishment i think. im sure they would be much much more cautious in the future. hope you feel better and if you do hear anything from any lawyers i would be curiuos to know what they say.. good luck. :>

I just had Dysport 3 weeks ago - two days after I experienced the same symptoms as you - I went to my PCP for the pain in my arm and numbness in my hand- he told me I injured myself and it needs to heal - then I went to a massage therapyst twice-she said she could not even get the forearm muscle to relax-at the time I didn't even think about the Dysport-after reading the Dysport Brochure I asked the RN that injected me-she said "it is highly unlikely" then I made an Appt with a Chiropractor-thinking I am out of wack-then I googled Dysport Poison and saw your comment - I called the Dysport Hotline but again they said it doesn't sound like it could be related-this pain is so intense-especially when I am sleeping-or trying to sleep! I never take any kind of meds-but I have been taking way too much over the counter meds that aren't helping - how do I tell my PCP that I need drugs??? Somebody HELP!

I am so sorry to hear about the bad reaction you have had. I hope your employer has been understanding.
