Hi, I received Botox for TMJ and furrow line between the brows. I had 20 units plus about 1 week ago. Immediately after I felt fatigued that attributed to something new being introduced into my body and to rest up. For the next few days I had numbness at the injection site (brows only) and even falling asleep between clients.
