Severe reaction in forehead after juvederm ultra 2...

Severe reaction in forehead after juvederm ultra 2 in glabella area.I have been on this site before and told juvederm cant migrate it cannot cause neurological symptoms.I have been in and out of hospitals now foe 8 months this stuff is in my eyes burning 24 hours a day so is my forehead and inside my head.

I have memory loss,vomiting,4 stone weight loss,no sleep in 8 months averaging 1 hour if lucky,no pain meds work,have feelings of continuous brain suffocation and squashing,fainting,personality change ,subdued,guttate psoriasis all over my body apparantly from a strepptococcus bacteria(juvederm is cross linked with strepptococcus equistrian bacteria)hair loss,incontinence,am so weak cannot climb flight of stairs,my 74 year old mother has to come and live with me am told by doctors as this is so rare they dont know how to treat it.Am slowly dying from this toxic sludge have been now told that filler has damaged nerves in my brain and face but they are not sure what part i know it is the frontal lobe as this is where most of the burning originates from have had psychiatric evaluation and they cannot explain and do not feel i need psychiatric help it so i am not crazy or imagining symptoms its easy to palm someone off as mental if no definate evidence is concrete.

I will or my family will get this out in the open as this suffering and pain should not be allowed no one deserves this it is a living hell.I cant believe this has not or there is no record of this happening anywhere in the world,this can and will happen to someone else,everyone is different and no two peoples compositions are alike i will push if i can for stringent skin tests to be done and this stuff should be illegal in the glabella.Thanks for reading jusy wanted to get my current symptoms across and how ill this stuff has made me.Allergan are now going to investigate my story.

I'm so sorry to hear about the symptoms you are having to live with. That definitely sounds like a very difficult thing. I'm so glad to hear Allergan is going to investigate your story. Hopefully they will be able to figure out why your body had such a severe reaction.

Thank you for sharing your story with us, and please keep us informed on how you are doing.

Hi there Simba how are you i have been trying to get in contact with you from before,i am sorry to hear you have now developed psoriasis that is horrible.I developed this 8 months after the juvederm.How the hell this stuff is cleared is beyond me,it should be illegal who do they test it on and you camnnot find the composition of this toxic sludge anywhere even Allergan wont give it to you,yet you can get the composition for botox on the internet easily so thats scary in itself that you dont know whats in these chemicals and its basically pot luck how your body reacts to it as there is no compulsary testing.Botox is safer its fda approved for the glabella and forehead area juvederm is not i wonder why because you can go blind and if it gets into your brain circulation it can kill you,but theres no black box warning for this like botox yet millions of people have botox with minimal side effects or hopefully short lived effects this stuff seems to hang around forever,its slowing killing me,its disgusting,something needs to be done or this will keep happening and more people are going to get sick.

Hallo Katie. You are so right. You cant get any information about what this stuff countains. I have developed psoriasis, and got my diagnos recently. My family is surprised because it dont run in my family history. Not in my mothers and fathers, this is poison.I have psoriasis in face on my elbows feet, and knees. Awful, because of 2 cc restylane.

Hi there Simba yes Allergan havent even got back to me after i made an adverse reaction report about what this stuff has done.I cant believe you are still suffering from this stuff after 2.5 years,and its still producing effects.My symptoms are getting worse daily i am now having to fund treatment to have stem cells injected into my spine to try to alleviate the suffocation in my brain.My eyesight is worse i cant look up anymore and i can barely see out of my right eye i can actually feel the cells sitting in my eyes but because they are microscopic they do not show on examination,you would only see them via a biopsy and no doctor wants to do this type of invasive tests.The psoriasis i had has left scars all over my body this is a bacterial psoriasis so it is different from other types.I still havent slept in 10 months just my usual 1 to 2 hours per night i cannot put on weight after the 4 stone i lost and i am now getting pains in my heart all the time.This stuff is slowly suffocating my brain and has caused my body to start shutting down,i have incontinence,my menstrual cycle has stopped and i have symptoms of dementia.All this from a wrinle filler that is deemed safe and natural by Allergan.Well its not maybe when someone actually dies they might realise.Dr barry jones done a report for sky news in january this year talking about the dangers of dermal fillers if you type in dermal fillers are dangerous sky news you can see the interview,he is a plastic surgeon in England.I have contacted him about what happened to me and he advised me to get a solicitor which i have done now.I wasnt interested in sueing anyone but because this has destroyed me as a person then why should i be left to continue suffering with no help as if it is my fault this stuff caused this sickness.I will let you know what is happening and Simba i think if you get antibiotics it might clear the residue bacteria up that is causing the psoriasis, my family too have never suffered from it so it is definately related to the juvederm Please let me know how things are going hopefully something will happen and this stuff will be exposed for the toxic gunge that it really is,all the best kxx.

Hi Samantha i am so sorry you are suffering it is horrendous i know it is the juvederm this is a chemical i am fighting with Allergan the makers of this toxic sludge they will not listen so i have had to go to the newspapers this stuff is in my brain slowly suffocating and burning and i am losing my sight i have to try now to go to Germany to find a toxicologist as the hospital here in England is too afraid to do any invasive tests,hopefully Samantha you will get better as it was put into your lower face so even though it may take time your body will absorb it.Like Simba on this site she has been suffering a long time apparently this stuff is made from bdde a chemical that takes a long time to break down so there is no way of knowing how long this stuff stays in your body.No scan or mri will show it it would now be microscopic cells only showing under a microscope after a tissue biopsy,or once it has been stained with a flourescent dye to show the gram positive bacteria it is highly cross linked with.My brain burns 24 hours a day i feel ill all the time how i am still walking i do not know,i want to kill myself everyday but i think that would be great for allergan and the clinic who injected this stuff they would then get away with it but me staying alive is aggrivating them plus im making a fuss and they dont like it,i havent slept in almost a year,i pray for sleep and that one day i will get there,try to be strong Samantha if you stay strong and healthy you can beat it,i cant believe ive been living like this for almost a year and no one cares so i have to keep pushing until someone listens if not for me then for my kids i dont want them suffering for my mistake,but its not its this stuff because your body rejected it its your fault thats what allergan says or the injectors fault not the wonderful juvederm its not even approved by the fda in America they have a different juvederm called ultra xc which has been stringently tested juvederm ultra 2 has only been approved by the Europeon health commitee who just pass it with a kite mark like a childs toy its not been tested enough but they dont tell you that,so its just down to luck wether your body will except this poison or not i too feel like an 80 year old woman i am so ill,i am terrified i will have to live like this for the rest of my life because i know my body cannot take much more,please talk as much as you want on this site or i will email you,trust me i know the darkness of how this stuff makes you feel and its not your fault its false marketing and false advertising,all women want to feel good about themselves its not all about vanity just something you think will make you feel good but sadly there is no quick fix,this we have all learned the hard way i pray to god to help us heal and forgive my stupidity and for being naive enough to believe that this is natural,its not the only thing natural is your own blood and tissue,please keep posting on here it helps everyone to know that they are not alone and remember that the truth will always come out in the end no matter what all the best wishes to everyone kx.
