Have any of you had Juvederm or Restalyne? Can you use those in place of Botox? I thought those products were for more severe wrinkles or where gravity had taken over and your face was drooping. Let me know, if there is a possible option. Thanks!
I don't know if it was exactly flu like symptoms, but one day like a flick of a switch my endurance was gone. I'm a fitness instructor and one day when I was taking a class it was as if I was in somebody elses body. I had no energy, no drive, my legs had nothing to give. I'm saying NOTHING. The muscles in my leg were depleted; I couldn't even make them work harder no matter how hard I tried. This was not me. Its still going on, but not to the extreme it was. Its been 2 months since I felt that way and I think its slowly working its way out. Unbelievable! I talked to my Ob-gyn about it thinking it was a sign of menopause even tho I had no other symptoms. It turned out it wasn't. They couldn't explain it. I made an appointment with my family physician, but after reading all of your letters I know what it is now. I would have never linked it all. So I'm just going to wait it out, thats all any of us can really do. I do see my dermatologist next week and will discuss it with him and let you know his thoughts.
Okay thats all fine, thats how I felt until my hair started thinning more and more. And its been 5 months since my last injection and it continues to thin. I really don't know what I'm going to do when the wrinkles return. Should I go with the Juvederm? Is that any different? I thought it was for really severe wrinkles, which I don't have. I really believe the longer your on Botox the more adverse effects your body will have including muscle weakness. Gee when will my endurance return? Hmm. A year or more?
Well at least we're not alone in all of this dreadfulness. Lets keep in touch with each other on our progress. I'm trying to do my best to stay positive. I do think that many of the doctors that use Botox are unaware of this side effect, unfortunately=( Hopefully our hair follicles have not been killed off for good. We have to think positive!!
