I can't have Botox, Dysport or Xeomon due to bad reaction. Need options!

I am a 47 y.o. woman who had Botox 6 times in the past and loved it. Unfortunately, 3 days after the last treatment 2 yrs. ago, I got flu-like symptoms that lasted for many months. Blood work was normal. Neurologist (who uses Botox) thought I was having rare side effects and told me never to get it again. I don't know for sure if it was the Botox but I don't ever want to be that sick again. How do I manage my aging face without Botox? My concerns are dynamic crows feet, fine lines and "11"s.
