I got dysport on monday april 12th 2010, on sat april 17th i woke up with a very heavy burning sensation in my chest, not flu like just disturbing. Not my usual on-set of a cold. Barely made it through work and stayed in bed sunday with more symptoms;head ache, fever, chills, sweating, coughing, entire body weakness(severe),INSOMNIA, no vomit. Went to doc on monday and got amoxicillian and cough syrup and stayed in bed all week!

It's now sunday april 25th and I feel so sick, it's my body weakness and out of touch feeling that scares me the most. I still have "flu-like" symptoms and I have not slept more than an hour here and there only at night. can't get to sleep. I'm definitely scared that i'm not getting any better. Diarrhea started today too.

I've called numerous health officials to try and get some help. I have no answers only questions. Has anyone gotten very ill from dysport and how long did it last?

Had botox twice before nothing negative. Had the dysport only for frown lines(it did work). Thank God i was on a budget and couldn't do my eyes. I can't imagine this being any more severe. I've looked all over the net for answers and it's very likely this is a side effect from dysport, and I know my body this is not the flu!

I will be posting at the FDA web site.

I'm experiencing awful chest pains on my left side. How long does this last? What was the course of treatment prescribed by your doctors? I'm scared.

Hi Miami888, look for the posting titled: “Horrible experience with dysport - caused vomiting and dizziness. There is a good list of comments by dysport victims. Stay positive and get distracted asap! Get something for your chest to calm you down. I got both herbal and prescription. I like valerian root with passion flower sold by electic institute(whole foods)or a half of a xanax. Not at the same time. I just posted a article to the FDA from public citizen about this horrible experience we all are going through. Look for it at the end of the other list of comments. Hang in there and get rest.

I have had a terrible experience with Dysport...dizziness, flu symptoms, asthma...not to mention I look as if I've had a stroke-both eyelids drooping with heaviness around my lids, causing headaches, one side of my mouth (no injections at that site) feels "funny", I can't smile properly. I look as if I am both scowling and leering. Never, ever again! Never had these issues with Botox. My provider states there is "nothing that can be done". I have heard lopidine eyedrops help. Provider says I just have to "wait it out". I am on antibiotics for the upper respiratory infection, and incidently, I am taking occassional muscle relaxer for a back pain issue, this seems to relieve it a bit but I by no means look "normal". Very, very disappointed.

I had a dysport treatment 2 weeks ago and I had vertigo, right eye droop, fatique, swollen cheek and my eye looks slightly black and blue. when I had the onset of symptoms I didn't realize it was the dysport and went to ER and they thought I may have had a mini stroke. I was so scared. I spent 2 nites in the hospital having tests done.

I called the plastic surgeon who did my treatment and she didn't seem apologetic and seemed matter of fact that these things happen. It is not what I wanted to hear. Now I am at home and don't want to leave the house. Is there anything I can do to help this go away quicker? I have been icing my eye and cheek and taking Aleve.

I've also had Botox for some years and never had any issues with it. However, the last two times my doctor used Dysport. The first time it didn't occur to me that it was the Dysport making me sick but last week I had my second round of Dysport and I've had all of the same symptoms that I had from the first injection - Neck pain, headache, flu/allergy/asthma symptoms, stomach cramps and terrible diarrhea. I am a very energetic person but this past Sunday, I could hardly move off the sofa all day. I will NEVER have Dysport again.
