I have used Botox for a couple of years and was pretty satisfied. The nurse suggested I try Dysport because it was cheaper and maybe longer lasting. I received an injection over three weeks ago and still am having side effects. Initially the injection was quite painful unlike Botox. The areas near my eyes immediately swelled up and were red. One side bruised quite badly and the bruise finally just went away two days ago, despite constant icing for the first 6 hours and use of Arnica. Within 15 minutes of the injection my throat started to tighten and it felt like there was a lump in my throat when I tried to swallow. My chest and neck felt a bit tight, and my mouth became very dry. I immediately called the nurse who did the injection and told her about my symptoms which were listed as serious side effects on the information she gave to me. She suggested I go to my doctor of the ER (she seemed to be ambivalent and not well informed about side effects but that is a whole other issue). I went to the ER. While there was nothing they could do for the botulism, they did treat me for an allergic reaction in case that was what I was having(it wasn't). While my side effects didn't get worse (thankfully) they stayed about the same for several days. I also felt nauseous for the first few days. After three weeks I still am having a horrible headache, neck pain and stiffness, and swollen sinus passages. I'm hoping this will eventually resolve soon. I will never again get Dysport and don't recommend it.

I have been sick for 2.5 mths. now since Dysport injections between my eyes and the side of my eyes. I have had Botox and never had a problem. Then I went to the Dr. and they said that Dysport is so much better, so I tried it., TWO hours after being injected I got a very sore throat which lasted 3 days, my throat closed up at night,but I was able to breath,but was getting worried. Then on the day we had to fly for vacation, I started to get a runny nose. I got on the plane for 3 hrs. and my ears closed up, and they stayed closed for THREE weeks. Wouldn't even open up after flying back home. We were on a cruise ship for 7 days. I had a ear infection and a sinus infection ever since end of May, and now it's middle of Aug. and I am still fighting it. I been on antibiotics, which didn't help much. I believe this is from Dysport. I NEVER in my life had an ear or sinus infection. I do not get allergies and I fly all the time with no problems. This all started within 2 hrs of the injections. I called the Dr. and he said no one else has a problem with Dysport. I wonder if he is telling me the truth? The women who work at this Dr.'s office have no training or knowledge of what they sell there. This Dr. is a teaching Dr. and specializes in Botox, Dysport and surgeries. I will go back to Botox. I do not want to take another chance with Dysport. I am a very healthy women and having this for almost 3 mths. is crazy. Maybe we are better off not doing any of this.Is it worth it if we get sick or die? No it's not.

I'm sorry this happened to you...I have done botox too and been happy with that, but recently I been seeing a lot of ads and rebates for dysport but i'm so hesitant to try it cuz of the bad reviews I been hearing. So sorry again and hope u feel better. it will go away since it's temporary. But no more Dysport please don;t even try it again, I wouldn't. Thanks for your post and letting us know.

I've been reading so many stories on the web about the serious side effects of Dysport. I think it is better to be safe than sorry so today I had a small injection to see if I was allergic to Dysport today, this amount of Dysport would be the the equivalent they would give you for a scratch test at the allergist ...but after reading the many stories on the web I'm now scared to death in fact I took something that they give you for toxic thing at the doctor so it will absorb all the poisons out of your system, I will also make a poultice and put it where they did the scratch test to hopefully pull it out of my skin. I realize I had a small test but I'm hyper-sensitive I can't take any chances. But I want to thank all of the people that have told their stories . It has changed my mind about any type of injection or filler

I wanted to add here since I had the scratch test of Dysport, On the third day I woke up with a very bad headache, I couldn't breath very well, and with slight stomach pain . Now as I mentioned earlier I had a very small amount of Dysport the amount that is given to you for a scratch test. In my opionion I think Dysport dangerous with serious side effects to me ...I think if I would of actually had them inject this in my face I would of certainly died! I have no doubt that if my body is reactioning to Dysport like this and it is such a small amount what would of happened to me if I would of just had them inject me with it! Anyhow I'm going to have the ND doctor treat me as they do for people that have been poisoned. I have taken charcoal tablets. My heart goes out to all the women that have this Dysport injected into their faces, and suffer horribly due to it. DO YOUR RESEARCH . I'm posting my experience only to share my experience.

Hi Everyone,

I realized I can post a link to the FDA Adverse Event Report from my Dropbox. You can download the PDF and share the link with others.

Also, Groupon is offering a Groupon for Dysport. I emailed them asking them to remove this offer from their site. If you would all send a quick email to them I think that would force them to take notice... Just Google "Groupon Contact Us" to find their email address.

Wishing everyone health!

Remember to email me if you want to join the CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT I'm putting together. I have had TWO ladies contact me. I need more, so please just shoot me a quick email here on Real Self. I apologize for including my personal email in my previous post - I didn't realize it was violating community guidelines!

Thanks,
AJ
