Possible reaction to Botox but unsure- is additional Botox not a good idea?

Fabulous134445Mar 28, 2024
I received botox in my forward and 11s in August 2020, no reaction. Again in NOV 2020, nothing notable. In JAN 2021, I developed MS like symtoms, mild generalized weakness, pins and needles feeling and twitching. All test, MRIs, bloodwork and EMGs were normal. Botox again in MAR 2021. again nothing notable after injections but my symtoms worsened and my right ankle became weak. I stopped everything and within 6 months was normal- all symtoms disappeared- was this a possible reaction to botox?
