I had injections done in January to add volume my face… As a 62-year-old woman. For months, I guess it was OK but not worth the money. In October, during the California fires, I got a huge lump under my left die. I went to the Doctor Who said it was a sinus infection put me on antibiotics and the lump got a friend. So I went back with two lumps under My eye, And they put me on another round of antibiotics this time with prednisones. So then I got lumps under my other eye. They threw around words like possibly cancerous, possibly pre-cancerous, polyps in the nose… They sent me for a CAT scan… CAT scan number two for this sinus thing. They sent me to ear nose and throat Doctor Who was no help… He scope me, said there was no polyps, and went over the CAT scan with me. Then I got a call saying they needed me to come back in because they found something on the CAT scan, which was scary. I got back there at 8 AM in the morning only to go over the CAT scan again and have him say the same freaking thing to me about it’s nothing go see a dermatologist, and go back and see the people who did the fillers originally. I could tell if he was trying to get me twice for an office visit for nothing. Ridiculous, as he had nothing to add to the first appointment. So I went to the dermatologist who was absolutely no help. The next day I went back to where I got the sellers injected, originally. Julie was very very very nice… I go see her again today. She interjected steroids in the lumps of which there were a lot of by then. Some of them are smaller, but there are new ones now. So she told me that they have seen this in their office and around the area and they believe it is an auto immune reaction to the crap in the air from the fires of October 9 in California. There is a specialist is going to be in the office today when I go get my injections in my face. So far I have been on three rounds of oral steroids, three rounds of anabiotic’s, and my face is a mess. I’ll tell you the little bit of wrinkling that I went in there originally to fix… Well things are all way worse now. I do not know where this is going to end up, but I do believe stupid Germ so far I have been on three rounds of oral steroids, three rounds of anabiotic’s, and my face is a mess. I’ll tell you the little bit of wrinkling that I went in there originally to fix… Well things are all way worse now. I do not know where this is going to end up, but I do believe Juvedrem is not warning people properly as the downside of this crap. I was told it’s basically very safe. Now I’m reading and living nightmares! People need cautioned about the realities of this… Because this happens more often than you would think. In fact I see the lady that I’m going to see later has posted some horrible stuff that happened to her. She did not let on that she had been through this. I will be talking to her today about it.

Hi There, How are you today? I feel bad for all of us that have had bad reactions. I just am curious if you are any closer to finding the answer to your problem? You can click on my profile to see my story of Juvederm. I cant help but wonder if the fires did not start an allergic reaction in your system. I sorta feel like those of us affected have an inflammatory response that we can address ourselves, to make things better. Let me know your thoughts?
did it resolve?
