Scared for my Health - Cairns, Australia
Hi my name is sharon and i'm a 36yr old health...
hi my name is sharon and i'm a 36yr old health worker. My whole life i've put others before myself and this yr decided i'd like to do something for me, that's when i thought i'd try botox. i did alil research of places that did it in my town and read alot of blogs about peoples experiences, that's why i choose where i went. when i first went into this mediclinic i was treated with respect and my worries eased. i told her that i wanted to get a fresh look and she recommended botox, and then afew wks later regen, i was given acouple of sheets of info and booked appointment for the followin week. i did research botox but didn't know it was actually dysport i was injected with i thought it was all the same, i was injected crows feet and forehead, within acouple of hrs i noticed my eye brows where red and puffy looking. the next day i noticed my eyebrows had drooped slightly and were puffy. i just put it down to what my poor face had been through. now i was injected on a wednesday, by the monday i was gettin ready for work and noticed my face just didn't look right, it looked pale and puffy. i went to work and within 2 hrs all i wanted to do was vomit and i had very bad dizzy head, foggy even. i spoke with my boss and come home. i just haven't been the same since. the left side of my face feels like someone is slidin ice up and down my cheek, i can't eat or drink anything, i can't stop sittin on the toilet, my head feels so foggy and i can't think. i can't sleep because i feel so sick,, i so wish i read up more about this product beforehand. i have 3 beautiful son's who still need their mum and can't understand why their happy full of life mum is now so sick. i'm so scared because i've read that this can stay until the dysport wears off which is 3-6months. i've made appointment with dr this afternoon as i feel i'm only gettin worse, i've tried ringin the mediclinic where i was injected but no answer, though i will keep trying,,,, i'm just so scared!!!!!!!

Please keep me updated on how you are doing. If you need someone to talk to, I'll be here :). I appreciate your support and fully empathize with your situation! How many units did they inject you with?
hi Kaelyns mom,, thank you for such beautiful words,, yes i was injected with 32 units, and that very day i started feeling the effects,, then slowly got sicker and sicker, i thought i was gettin 100% but this wk when i've been waking up i've noticed my eyes are very fuffy under my eyes and eye lids, and i can actually feel my right eye is much worse everytime i blink i can feel the saggy skin,, people are starting to really notice at work though as i said before head down bum up cuase no-one knows i actually had the injections,, i feel like [RS bleep] and just want my face back,, how are you goin? are you havin any improvement at all?? i rerally understand what your going through and apprehicate your bravey,, i know this lady who does healings and she'd be able to do one on you without you being there, i think anything is worth a shot, her name is Marilyn and a beautifel soul, who helps many people with medical problems with success, the only thing is she needs your first and last name, i can understand if your unwilling to give me these though, my email address is s*****************.com if you wanted to keep private,, Marilyn i believe has helped me release the toxic out of my body quicker and has boosted my energy and i've stopped vomiting and the dizzy spells have also stopped since seeing her,, i'd really love to helkp you Kaelynsmom,,, please let me know how your going xxxx
I'm so sorry to hear what you have been going through. How long has it been since you had your injections? It seems the flu like symptoms usually go away within a few days, or a couple weeks max, so hopefully it is of comfort to know you likely won't be feeling this way much longer.
Here is a Q&A that talks about this:

This one might also interest you since you had mentioned you weren't sure what the differences were between Botox and Dysport:

Hope you are feeling at least bit better today.
