I had 24 units to my forehead today. Right side is now numb, heavy, slower movement. No rash or allergic symptoms. I also -when injecting -had a metallic taste in my throat and later back of sinuses. I reported the metallic taste immediately to doctor. The taste is still there. Went back to clinic 2 hrs later with the symptoms.
