It has been 41 days since I received Botox injections and was diagnosed with botulism! I'm experiencing irregular heart rhythms that cause severe chest pain and difficulty breathing, leading me to require oxygen. I also have coordination issues, hand tremors, muscle spasms, twitches, shooting pains, and a neck tic. Why is Botox allowed to be used for cosmetic purposes without proper warning? None of these symptoms were mentioned in my consent form. I need honest answers from doctors.
I apologize for the problem you experienced. However, it is important to note that the package insert for this treatment contains a black box warning, indicating that these types of symptoms may occur. While these occurrences are very rare, it is the responsibility of your doctor to inform you of the potential risks. Millions of people receive Botox injections each year without any issues. Unfortunately, this does not change your current situation, but it is essential to be aware that the warning is included in the package insert.
I wonder if the Botox you received was not manufactured by Allergan? Some physicians may choose not to use it or may not dilute it properly.
All procedures, including Botox, carry potential risks and complications. It is recommended to seek treatment from experienced and qualified physicians who can conduct a thorough workup of your symptoms.
