I get botox for migraines & have for years. This time, I'm experiencing vertigo 5 days after injections & extreme light sensitivity. I told the dr I don't like the botox because it pushes my brows down & makes my eyes look older. Injections for migraines are placed in different locations than cosmetic. Anyways, he placed it higher this time, & even tho I understand it could be a coincidence, I feel the vertigo and extreme light sensitivity are both likely from the Botox injections.
