Over a year and a half out
And still experiencing some side effects. I can't really do cardio without a relapse. I still can't have caffeine. I can thankfully have some alcohol. I worry this did permanent damage to my liver and kidneys. I have had a lot more problems with them in the past year.
Now, I am also noticing some small dents in the muscle where the injections were. So my forehead is bumpy now.
All from a few units of botox in my forehead. What a dumb reason to ruin my health.
Would still not recommend.

Update: 6 Months Post Botox
Just wanted to follow up on this on going nightmare.
Unfortunately, it’s been 6 months without full recovery. I have been religiously seeing doctors, nuerologists, and auto immune specialists who cannot find any other explanation than systemic botulism.
I am thankful I have healed a bit in some ways, but I still suffer from headaches, intolerance to any systemic chemicals (caffeine, advil, alcohol, etc). Roaming numbness in my body, and some brain fog and dizziness— especially if I don’t get a FULL 8 hours of sleep and 60+ oz of water a day. Heart palpitations, lethargy, and general muscle weakness are also lingering, albiet improving. My newest issues are unfortunately more cosmetic- brittle nails, dry skin, and hair loss.
It’s a constant struggle, but I’m fighting hard to get back to my previous self. This has absolutely negatively impacted my relationships, my work performance, and my general happiness in life. And my wrinkles are back. Sooooo not not worth it.
Feel free to ask any questions at all!
For those reading who are experiencing the same issues, this is what has seemed to help me (not a dr):
- chelated copper (1/2 capsule once a day)
- activated charcoal (1-2 capsules every day during severe episodes), then 1x-2x a week
- celery juice, cucumber juice, lemon etc. juices in general seem to help pick me up in the morning and have replaced my coffee habit
- probiotic yogurt- i really like the white mountain variety.
- a refrigerated jade roller to help soothe nerves in my face and neck and reduce severity of headaches.
- half a daily vitamin (more than half is too much vitamin B and I react terribly- rhos never happened before Botox)
- extra vitamin D
- tooooooons of water!
These things may not be for everyone, but they are the only things I’ve found to give some relief since there’s literally nothing else I can do or take right now.

Botox is a Posion You WILL REGRET
An utter nightmare. 3 weeks of anxiety, pain, brain fog, weakness, and more. Every horrible symptom you can imagine. Botox is an evil, horrible, poison and you would be better off moisturizing or doing regular facials. This has ruined one of the most important months of my life. I was up for a promotion and getting married next month, now I don't know if I will even be able to be happy at my own wedding. I can't drink coffee, alcohol, or even a soda without violently shaking. I cry every day. Before Botox, I was a happy, normal, healthy 29 year old woman. Now I feel like a shell of my former self.
