    Soloist, I have tried acupuncture, detox massage therapy, lymphatic drainage massage to release toxins. Drink TONS of water to minimize relapsing as the toxins clear out.

    There's some info here... http://www.livestrong.com/article/271614-massage-therapy-chemical-detoxification/#ixzz1a9ZgoIMF

    Fiasco at the doctor's office. There was no blood test done to look for Dysport's formula/ingredients, my symptoms are almost gone (thank God) on their own.

    Thanks for sharing your nightmare, I hope you recover fast. You will feel better, believe that and you win half the battle. I only had minor symptoms (thank God) and will never do this again. My face looks great and I feel 10 years younger but it's not worth it health-wise. I am 43, had 20 units of Dysport on frown and eyes, no complications and felt great for 5 days. Doctor said the wrinkles will star smoothing on day 7 and completely by day 14. She also said no side effects, totally safe, blah, blah. She did say though to avoid laying down for 4 hours after the injections to avoid migrating to other areas. And said Dysport and Botox are not safe around the mouth, cheeks, etc because the results don't look good/natural. On day 6, nausea and dizziness. Day 8, pain in the bridge of the nose. Nausea again after 1 week, dizziness continued every day for 2 weeks, headaches on and off . I saw my primary care physician, he had not heard nausea and dizziness were side effects, but believed it could be possible as this drug affects the central nervous system. The nurse called Quest to find a blood test to detect Botox or Dysport and there is none, but a chemical test was possible to detect the ingredients in the formula. This was last week, day 14, and the next day I felt 70% better just like that with no treatment. I believe having someone believing in you and telling you it will wear out makes a real difference. Today is day 21 and I feel 95% better, just little dizzy some days. I'm seeing the doctor this Thursday and will know the blood results. Will keep you posted.
