    Hi annarowe,thanks for the post,yes it is very difficult to deal with the dizziness,sometimes if I can,I sit and close my eyes,or try to rest a little and not over exert myself as this seems to trigger more symptoms,then a cascade of further symptoms errupts and engulfs me and I then have to stop what I'm doing literally.I think being over tiered puts the immune system into overdrive,so pacing yourself and not getting too stressed helps me.Also lots of vitamins and natural brain supplements help to keep the brain feeling clear and not cloudy,which can cause more dizziness.I feel sick quite a lot throughout the day,but it's less compared to the vomiting I had before.I too find its worse when I close my eyes and I try to ride with it and not fight it,sometimes having background interference helps me to not concentrate on it and the tinnitus.Trying to get to bed by 9 to 9.30 also helps to rest the brain,I also try to avoid strong smells,perfumes,additives in food,no alcohol, It feels like certain things can trigger it off,anywhere,anytime,I use to panic badly,now I try to focus on something else and try to think if things I need to do that day,not much else you can do.Hopefully in time it will pass and you won't notice it anymore,or as much,kx.

    Hi annarowe,thanks for the reply,we'll yes I can fairly say that I have seen slight improvements in sleep,weight,24 hour burning in brain and eyes and forehead has decreased slightly.Sundowning is still prevalent,nausea has decreased it's still there but ican eat a meal without vomiting.The bowel function is better,there are not severe episodes of diahorea.The herbalist advices lots of sugar for stopping my cortisone levels from dropping too low.This I thought strange but I presume she knows what she is doing.I do feel shaky at certain times of the day,like I need sugar as I get weak.She also advices zero carbs,and no carbs,just protein lots of milk and juice,but not too much fruit or sweets and chocolate.I have put a bit of weight on the middle part of my body,but I'm not complaining as I got down to 9 stone 2lb,now I am 12 stone 2lb,a stone under my original weight,in 2011 before the injections,I'm 5 foot 10 almost,so I think 12 stone is ok,at least I can eat,at first I was eating any junk just to put on weight,now I'm trying to be healthier again as I feel this will aid recovery,I hope.I am trying to work out too if anything is triggering any symptoms,I do feel sick and bloated after carbs,so I will check in future or maybe right down any adverse reactions.Please keep posting and I think that's great you keep up with the vitamins and trying to rebuild your immune system.I too still have the dizziness and off feelings all the time making me feel sick I think this is the toxins in the blood filtering around,that it feels like to me,hopefully speak to you soon,kx.

    Hi annarowe,nice to hear from you,yes I agree most conventional Doctors have no idea how to treat this.I think we are basically test dummies and our reactions are being noted by Allergan,I think it's a mass poisoning scandal on their part,how many people they can maim from this junk. My symptoms seem to peak at night,from when the sun goes down,severe disorientation comes on very strong as does the eye burning become worse,in the day it feels like I have particles of crushed glass in my eyes,they are irritated and red raw.Some days the clarity is more better than others,but most days the brain dysfunction is prevalent,memory loss,loss of awareness of time and place.I can feel this immense foggy cloud envelope my brain and almost suffocate leaving me unable to think.Feelings of impending doom are also rife,it is a living hell.I am still sticking with the herbalists instructions as I can sleep some,this is the only thing I think that keeps me going,but I am terrified that this stuff has caused such a major reaction that it has produced brain inflammation,that may take years to get better,if it ever does.I think you are on the right track by using herbal supplements as you are not introducing more toxins into your system.There is so much out there,and it is a bot of a minefield,but it's just getting the right supplements,good ones are co enzyme q 10, vit b1 and vit b3, Astaxanthin,l glutathione reduced,acetyl l carnitine,and r lipoic acid,I have been taking these,for quite a while,I can't really say if or what might have helped to slightly alleviate the symptoms or if the tonic containing the herb samento is what's really trying to detoxify my system.Please keep posting,if you need any advice or just want to talk,let us know,best wishes,kx.

    Hi there annarowe,I'm so sorry you have had an adverse reaction to this junk.I had juvederm,similar to restylene.Its been 18 months continuous horrendous symptoms for me.Im now left with hearing loss and tinnitus in my left ear.avision loss in my right eye,hair loss,memory loss.This stuff is evil.I pray you will find some relief,somehow.My best advice would be to seek a naturopath,and try and detox your system.This is what I am trying to do.Nothing the Doctor gave me worked,like tramadol,duloxetine.I became more of a zombie than I already was.I have been left in this semi dementia state,confused,disorientated all day,everyday.I pray you will get better,and there is hope,it's just finding the right treatment from someone who knows what they are doing,and how to treat this.If you need any advice on supplements that I am taking,I will gladly post to you,I'm not sure what really helps,at the moment it's just trial and error for me,and I'm a bit of a guinea pig for natural medication,but that's fine as long as I get some relief.Please keep us posted on how you are doing.Best wishes,kx.
