December 26, 2018
Asked By:MBS28 in Los Angeles, CA

My first day I felt a bit foggy and headachy, but fine right after. Now 5 days later, I have begun feeling nauseas, light headed, and dizzy, and I see that others have also experienced flu-like symptoms post Botox as well. How can I tell if these symptoms are related, and if they are, how long can I expect these side effects to last?
