No, Botox is not safe, in my opinion. It doesn't seem like they understand or know why or how some people get sick and others dont.....that's why it's not safe. They don't know how to help you if you do get sick.....not safe. If you do get sick, your sick for 6 months to three years! My doctor is a doctors doctor! Doctors, in my opinion, aren't thoroughly trained on this deadly toxin! It's such a huge money maker that they are turning their cheaks....it sickens me!!!! Allergen knows how sick Botox can make you, it's clearly written on their website but fail to train doctors on how to help their patients or counsel them. I feel like the most common response from doctors when people get sick from this toxin is, it's not related. For that response to patience alone makes me wonder how many people are actually sick! I heard from someone that something like 23,000 reports were submitted to the FDA on being very sick from! Only 1% of people that get sick actually do report to the FDA!!!!! You do the math. Scary and sad!!!!

Allergans website clearly states that you should not take it prior to or during conception. Take it from me, they put they on there for a reason! I had botulism from Botox a year ago and it's taken a year to recover. All the disclaimers came true for me and I wish I had looked or researched harder on all potential side effects. Thousands of women have been sick from Botox and this isn't made public!!!! You only hear and read the positives on the toxin because it's such a money maker. Research isn't available on what Botox actually does when it gets into our systems. I personally would wait a couple months but I do also have plenty of friends that have conceived after their Botox injections and have healthy baby's. Good luck and congratulations!!!!

Good question! I want to know if you've had any surgeries or dental work with novacain, flu shot, birth control pills??? Etc....I'm scared to do any of it!

Also, there is a black box warning on Botox. Please do your homework and talk to a neurologist before you make a decision. Your health is worth it.

I wouldn't do it! There is a very ugly dark side to Botox that is kept very secret. If you google sick from Botox you will find hundreds maybe thousands of people very very sick from Botox, cosmetic Botox getting into their systems. It mimics botulism, but it's called iogenic botulism. Unfortunately doctors don't have research or data on this and they just tell patients what Allergan teaches them, which isn't completely true! If it gets into your system, and it can happen from even the best injectors in the world, you can be very sick for many years. No one knows the long term effects or damage it does on your system, especially if youv already experienced botulism, it's like hell on earth! I had an adverse event from Botox 9 Months ago and was hospitalized. My doctor was board certified and highly paid from Allergan. I had a very small amount and did everything that my doctor told me to. Shame on you doctors!!!! Your nervous system may not be able to tolerate Botox.
