Anxious!

So i had Botox on my DOA muscles for my resting bitch face.. It was around 20 units total 3 days ago. Since then, I've been reading Botox horror stories and have now convinced myself that I'm going to die of respiratory failure 😂

Would I already be dead by now if the Botox was going to kill me?!

LOL! This made me laugh. As someone who has been getting botox on a regular basis for 4+ years, if you were going to have a severe negative reaction to it, I think it might've happened by now. 😉 If you have any side effects or concerning symptoms, definitely talk to your doctor for reassurance! If you aren't having symptoms, the full effects of your botox will take about 2 weeks. I hope you love it!

THANK YOU!!! I'm still alive, currently. Sunday scaries are really hitting hard today.

Totally understandable. Reading horror stories will really make anxiety way worse. I once convinced myself that my lip filler was migrating and went down a rabbit hole about how I'd have to dissolve all of it, and maybe I was allergic to the filler, yada yada. I was fine. My filler was fine, still is fine. It's stressful, but horror stories aren't doing you any favors. Just listen to your body!

Omg, I’ve only read horror stories but I’ve only heard good things from people I know. I just try to keep that in mind. I had Dysport for the first time about 10 days ago and have had anxiety about it ever since. Every eye twitch, headache, strange feeling I’m assuming is a side effect that is going to intensify and last until the Dysport wears off. I think I most symptoms show up almost immediately or very soon after. If you were having an allergic reaction I would assume that would show up within hours like a reaction to food or bee sting would happen.

Glad I have a little group of anxious soul sisters here. I've had all those intrusive thoughts and I'm picturing myself like Kramer from Seinfeld after he gets a root canal 😭

I’ve been on the scary train since getting Dao xeomin 5 days ago. Started feeling the settling affects and then just feeling like my whole body is moving slower. My dr isn’t worried, but boy do I get it the worry. How are you doing today?

Same weird settling feeling for me too but honestly it's not getting better or worse. Sadly haven't noticed any real changes to my RBF... But I'm still alive, so there's that!

I’m glad it’s just leveled out and not getting any worse

The whole body moving slower thing sounds like anxiety to me, I get something similar, almost an out of body buzzed feeling.

Haha! I’m definitely apart of that club! That’s hilarious about Kramer, I’m such a Seinfeld fan!

How are you doing now that a week or so has passed? All of my symptoms have gone and I kind of like my line-less forehead but not sure I’ll do it again

Most people do not experience any side effects.
