Can botox affect thyroid function?

inquisitiveme777
About 3 years ago I had botox injection to reduce my masseter muscles, and shortly after, within 3-4 months, I developed graves disease. I want to have the procedure done again, but I'm suspicious that there may be a correlation between the botox and my autoimmune disease. Can botox affect thyroid function?
