Hello ladies I am absolutely in awe upon reading all of the problems going on related to dysoport. I am a nurse injector RN in a doctors office I have been using botox for over 4 years and love its effects. Our office was offered samples of Dysport in May of 2011. At that time I received 15 units to each eye to treat crows feet (first time ever treating crows feet). Several days later I noticed hard knots at the injection site and mild facial swelling. Approximately 2 weeks later I received Dysport to my glabella 30 Units. 6 days later I had progressed to severe facial and eye swelling. Everything I had used in terms of fillers surfaced and dysfigured my face. I have been on Prednisone every day since then. 4 months later I can not weane myself off this medication without swelling in cheeks occuring. I have seen an allergist and have had lab test done. I feel tired, my thinking is unclear at times, I can't exercise and I don't look the same anymore. I could not get much response from the Dysport company. I was told that I basically was going to have to do my own research and reach out to other doctors for help on my own. I am desperately seeking more information.
