I was treated with tetracycline about 2-2 1/2 months post injection. (I did NOT test postive for Lyme disease, but my doctor was trying to rule everything out and it was before he came around to believing it was the botox) I did much research online and even called Allergan as I was (and still am) terrified of taking anything to further complicate my recovery.
It is not listed as one of the antibiotics that is contraindicated however, every body is different. Since my reaction, I have become very sensitive to medications and I never was previously. I did not have a bit of problems with the Tetracycline. Good luck, my thoughts are with you!!!!
I have improved in some areas and I am so grateful for that but when new symptoms occur, it throws me off and makes me worry. I am 13 weeks today and know that I have a LONG way to go.......Wishing you well!!!!!
Chicagofit,
Did you have the twitching/spasms this severely from the start or have they gotten worse? I feel the same way about something getting better, than something worse or else new. Please keep up dated on how you are!!!!
Hi lmcneil,
Please let us know the outcomes of your tests. I am so sorry at this point you are still having these horrible symptoms. I am only 13 weeks out and am scared to death that this won't end. I too have the internal shakiness mostly in my jaw and the adrenaline "buzzing". My fingers do twitch (fairly new) and some muscle spasms. It seems it's one thing after another. I will pray for you and please update us.
