I am sooo scared. I rec'd Botox injections on August 6th and immediTely felt " weird.". Doctor's office gave me tea and I went on my way. Didn't make it home before having to call an ambulance. Felt the sensation of not being able to swallow and couldn't catch my breath... Hospital monitored me and that was that. Well it has been a little o a month and mothing has changed. The doctor who administered the injections kept saying over and over my symptoms were not symptoms he has seen. Allergan(?) called me to say that the FDA has nor approved forehead injections. They were clearly covering their asses. I have gone to 4 (!!!) emergency rooms so far and aome treat you like an outcast, some were a LITTLE nicer.. The major consensus: well You had this done month ago, anything that was going to happen would have already, it does not get worse, it SLOWLY improves but can take up to 3.5 months and I need to "ride" it out...I also saw an allergist who also thinks I will be fine. Doesn't think it was an allergic eeaction because I have had Botox before, twice in my face area and numerous times in my legs to help relieve me of my familial spasticity. I feel mothing has improved and am very scared I received a bad batch. Am I slowly dying? Is there NOTHING that can be done? Please help!!!
