Dysport Results Great BUT Adverse Side Effects Landed Me in Hospital - Pennsylvania

I am 29 months post injection and I had experienced the SAME exact symptoms that you are! The first year was basically a fight for my life, a year post injection I was told that there is an anti toxin injection that has to be administered as soon as the symptoms begin, I am told that it won't turn anything around that you are already experiencing but it will stop any further symptoms from starting as the reaction goes up and down in waves and new symptoms seem to come out of nowhere. I do truly believe that I will never fully be well. I am 38 years old and feel 100 :( I still feel numbness in my arms, legs, hands, and feet but have a lot of my physical strenth back although I am exhausted all the time. The ear pain / pressure never subsided and I hear awful and loud ringing in my ears 24 hours a day and I am told that I have to find a way to live with that. Also, the muscles in my throat have been affected and I snore loudly and wake up gasping for air still. Ronita, please call me any time, you can get a hold of me by finding me on fb at www.facebook.com/*********** I hope to talk to you soon and to be a source of support for you because the doctors just want to say that we are mental or having anxiety attacs, they turn pple like us away, especially the injecting doctors, other doctors just don't know what to do for us. I was also hospitalized, more than a dozen er visits and countless doctor office visits, nobody was able to help, you just have to have the will to fight this out bc there is no medication that can help, in fact, most medications make it worse! I was given a meclazine / ativan mix for vertigo and it did help although I could not drive for the first 3 months. I do hope that your ability to breathe has not been affected, that is the worst, so frigtening, well it's all frightening, horrifying in fact. Please contact me I will try to help you through this thing bc it's a hard road :(

OH these side effects do exist! I am 29 months post injection and I still feel like I am dying, sometimes I wish that I would bc living like this is no life at all :(

Almost 2 years post injection...still not well. Don't think I will ever be the same, I think I am brain damaged. My personality is even different, it's like this toxin rewired my brain and I am an unrecognizable shadow of myself :(

I am almost a year post injection, dizzy 24 hours a day, still having trouble swallowing, vision is impared, creepy sensations about the face and head, almost feels like it's in my brain. Painful tingling in my arms, hands, legs, and feet. Still having trouble breathing. Been in and out of the ER, hospitalized, in and out of doctor's offices, nobody can help me and it seems as though doctors are even somewhat disgusted by my complaints. Nobody wants to hear it, horrible lonely times. Horrible experience all around.

I am sorry for your droopy eye, we all got this injection to feel better about ourselves and it backfired. My whole face drooped for a while, which I must say was a small event considering how many times I have been in the emergency room and even hospitalized with stroke and heart attack like sypmptoms. I am a bit more than 7 months post injection and still feel the horrific side effects from the Dysport and am starting to wonder if I will ever have my life back again :(
