• Posted to Dysport Double Vision on 14 Jun 2011

  3/10/2011~ 15 months ago I had dysport injections in my forehead & crows feet area from a friendly nurse named Quinby. 2 days later my eyes swoll up so bad, are severly dry, & with zero tears because my tear ducts are totally blocked. My lacrimal glands have swollen with no relief. I look like a monster. I had never had botox or dysport, so I did a lot of research on both products before I decided to have it done. I felt safe with dysport. As I couldn't find any bad reviews on it. Ironically, after my experience at VandaVeer I then started finding bad reviews from others that too had similar experiences with dysport. Btw, a few weeks after my injections I contacted VandaVeer with my devastating alarm. I asked for Quinby & oddly she didn't work there any longer. I was told that she went back into nursing, so I then talked with VandaVeer. My mind & emotions were so down. I just shut down with no confidence & fear with anger. I look like a freak. I use to be a pretty, [not vain], young 56 yr.old woman that had a nice glow. I'm a woman, so naturally I like to look my best. 'Look as good as I feel'.. Just like VandaVeer portrays herself & business in her commercials~ via the media. Having the injections was a Christmas gift to myself for a fresher look. Since that day in her office I have no life outside my apartment. I'm in severe physical & emotional pain. With a lot of mental trauma Every day that goes by I chose to believe that the dysport will wear off. Yet, I'm permanebtly damaged. This last year has been devastating. I had been seeing an excellent opthamologist until just a few days ago when he read my catscan that he ordered. I have one of three eye diseases & I'm waiting to hear from several specialists for what is to happen next. I don't know? I've never felt so horrible as I do now. Why did this happened to me? Is it from the dysport or the injection that was given causing me nerve damage? 5/24/2011 I just finished with all chemo treatments that ironically, only in my tearducts that I have malt low grage lymphoma. The extreme swelling in the upper eyelids have gone back to normal. However, the pain is still extreme with still no tearing. My eyes are completely dry & appears to be permanently damaged. I've never experienced anything at all like this. I'm beyond being overwhelmed. I have a few good years left & I'm frozen with depression & pain. 6/12/2011 I'm now taking Restasis again, had plugs inserted in both tearducts, & using Refresh plus preservative free [in the vials]. I've been through the worse hell I've ever gone through, with so many losses. Whats a mind blower is I have incureable Malt lowgrade lymphoma cancer in my tearducts. The great thing is that just a few days ago my eyes started to show promise in healing. I'm not needing to insert many eye drops as often. I can comfortably wear my lenses. They actually act as a sheild against the air keeps my eyes moisturized. I've not a clue what is before me as far as the cancer from my tearducts spreading or when this will happen. I hope I'll forever be in remission. What a feeling this is. I feel tortured & extremely sad with anger. There's no doubt that my serious injury was caused from my doctors visit on 12/18/09. My mind has at times pushed me over the top, yet I'm quite aware with precise. I've continue to research others that have experienced similar cases. I more than ever value my life & others with this similar experience. I've been traumatized & cannot even cry. It's been for 1 1/2 years of suffering in extremes. I'm a crier & passionate woman. I sob deeply & feel crazed & caged within my pain not tearing. The pain is insane at times in all ways. I'm reaching out for mutual support to everyone that has also suffered by the means of Dysport & into filing a major lawsuit with a qualified lawyer. Please contact me ASAP & let me know what you want to do with additional direction. thankyou..

• Posted to Dysport....NEVER Again!! (Forehead, Under Eyes) Wish I Hadn't Switched from Botox on 4 Mar 2011

  15. Months ago I had the very minimum of dysport injections in my forhead & crows feet areas. Within just a day or two both of my eyes started swelling terribly. I thought that maybe it was just a temporay reaction. I had never had dysport or botox before. I now have extreme dry eyes & have no tears at all. I've had many eye infections with much vision loss. My eye glands are so swollen that I look like a monster. Even my sweet little dog thinks I look spooky. I'm so depressed and have lost all hope. Does anyone else have such an experience & are considering about a personal injury lawsuit?
