Botox - Hawaii

Hi. I did have some odd symptoms after my first botox treatment. Fever and nothing else for a few days. But it went away. I did some research, talked to physicians who I know or are married to friends, looked online etc., and it seems that any negative symptoms MIGHT be tied to the amount of "shelf time" between mixing and administering of the solution. Probably best thing is to drink plenty of liquids and if you don't get better in a few days, see your primary care physician. If it makes you feel any better, I have had a few treatments since with no ill effects . . . I hope you feel better soon!!!

I did not say a word until you folks got rude about it. The symptoms one person described sounded a lot like mine, and I was just trying to help. I actually had a negative reaction from my first botox injections which is how I came upon this thread in the first place. I also posted about some research I had done, about botox injections when the drug had been mixed a few days prior to administration. There is no need being RUDE to someone who is, obviously, trying to help! Subsequent to the research I tried it again with no ill effects. I also read an article and spoke to folks with Lyme's disease that mimmicks a lot of what you folks are describing . . . it is being called "the silent disease" because some folks go undiagnosed until Bell's palsey sets in. You may wish to rule that out as well.

JUST TRYING T O HELP. Sounds like you are not open to anyone doing so!

Excuse me? ??? How RUDE. Maybe it is not the botox! Judging by your RUDE comment, maybe it is all in your head! I was just trying to help. I am sorry I tried.

You will probably think I am crazy. I had the symptoms you are describing BEFORE I ever got botox. I went to a bunch of specialists, had several neuro tests including MRI, EMG, etc. NO ONE could figure out what was wrong with me. They even tested me for Lyme's disease. Then one day I was thinking about the last time I could remember NOT having those issues . . . I thought, why didn't I have them traveling? It occurred to me that I drink a lot more water . . . so I googled joint pain/dehydration. There was a ton of info on it . . . seems as we age our "thirst sensors" are not as acutely in tune as when we were younger and we can become chronically dehydrated. So I started drinking water. In the morning, carrying around a bottle, things I seem to do while traveling to avoid eating so much! LOL. Anyway, it took a couple of weeks, but the symptoms faded . . . I haven't had them since, and I have had botox several times . . . I hope this helps you
