[…] Canada is investigating at least thirteen reports of serious Botox side effects, including five deaths. The Canadian drug regulators indicate that the reactions were likely caused […]

I have been having botox injected by a local eye doctor for a few years now with no problems untill recently. I was under the understanding that as long as the doctor was very accredited I should be ok. It is known that problems are very very few if the doctor is careful it is about the injection accuracy and amount. This doctor is also a facial plastic surgeon.
What I truly believe happened here is that this doctor over injected me and gave me way more botox in the area then what I needed. It seems to me according to my bill each time that if he could do more areas he would to charge more. However I said do the same thing you always do, I believe he did more with out asking so he could charge more my bill this time was $200.00 more then the last time.
My head is numb, my nose is numb, the headaches and eye aches are real bad and my whole body feels sick.

I say be very very careful, I am a Hairstylist and Easthetician and I was very aware of everything about Botox. I thought I found a great doctor and I had no problems for a few years, I believe he got greedy and gave me to much to charge me more money.

So I am warning everyone else out there. I can hardly open my left eye either. I feel awful, my face is numb and I am crying alot.
The good thing here is this will where off. But up to 6 months is very very long to wait. And I still don’t know what all the poison to my system is doing to the rest of my body which feels real sick.

My daughter is getting married and I had a botox injection to reduce the frown on my forehead. A week after the injection, I got droopy eyes in my left eye. I am using eye drops which help but my ability to drive is impaired because the vision in my left eye is weak and blurred. I was not fully informed of the possible side effects. I will be three weeks post injection this week so I am hopeful that I will get better. I would never cosndier having it done again. I had it done at a very upscale SPA that specializes in plastic surgery. I really encourage anyone to think twice before doing it. It is over advertised and I don’t think they have even begun to tell us about all the possible things this is doing to our body…trust me, after this I am going to grow old gracefully.

Cindy i am having the same problems….my left side of my face is numb and my left arm. This is an awlful feeling!!!

My name is jullie A..I have posted some info about what is happening to me.I also wanted to add for those who may write negative comments regarding Botox..shared real life experiences of serious side effects,that this is no laughing matter and compassion for us dealing with these side effects..should be there!!!I have heard so much crap from doctors and people that do not know what they are talking about.I am not alone with these symptoms!!!!

My name is linda. I’ve suffered from migraines for over 35 years now and have tried ever drug on the market. I’ve been in and out of the ER more times then I want to remember. Out of desperation I”ve learned of botox. Went to a doctor that told me he could do it in his sleep and a monkey could do it. I asked how much was he using. He had 3 carpules to inject me in my forhead, head region and cervical area. For the first two day it felt like a hot poker through my right eye and the pain was awful. Now the problem, where he injected the cords of my neck I”m having “severe” pain when I try to bend my head a certain way “OH MY GOD” the pain is not bearable. Although I can say the migraines are better at the moment. It’s been almost 2 weeks and I’m praying to god the neck pain stops i’ve tried hot pack, cold packs muscle rub, hot soaks in the tub and intrex sumptriptian 100 mg when I can’t bear it anymore. But nothing helps the neck pain. SO I have a follow up appointment in less than two weeks. One thing for sure he is NOT putting any needles in my neck for sure. IF anyone else has experience this please write me and let me know. I’d like to hear from you good luck and have best of luck
