Can I Try Botox Having Been Diagnosed with Horner's Syndrome in 2001?

Asked By:cindy1690

After using the inhalant Imitrex for a migraine, my left pupil constricted and eyelid drooped (2001). Those symptoms cleared in two weeks, but numbness remained around that eye for 2 years...until I did a course of Inderal..which immediately took care of migraines and that 'fuzzy' feeling. (2003) I am early 50s and would love to combat my crow's feet and 11's... Is Botox too high risk and if so, are there recommendations for alternatives? thx
