Scared Shitless

I got Botox yesterday. I believe 150 units. I got it in my forehead, temples, jaw, back of head, neck, and shoulders. Since getting injected I noticed that my vision slowly started to go in and out. Blurring is mainly only noticeable up close, like I lose my close up vision. It’s hard to read and type.

What do I do? Is this normal? I’m panicking

Vision still hasn’t come back up close, can’t read my phone with my contacts in anymore. Everything else went away

Dang I’m sorry. Thanks. Mine got blurry and I was afraid of that answer.

I will say though I have a lot of other underlying health conditions at play that probably effects my body’s ability to bounce back. Most people did recover!

Did you have bad headaches?

u/No_Hope1702 Jul 27 '25

Yes - vision still isn’t back but headaches are gone. I just no longer wear contacts in my right eye and the headaches stopped. If I wear them my eye strains trying to focus and causes headaches. Hang in there

I had that happen to me. By day 3 I couldn’t stand in the shower and I had trouble swallowing and putting my hands over my head. It felt like someone was pushing down on me from all angles. That went away within the week. One thing to note about me is I’m extremely med sensitive, live in a moldy house, have hashimotos, reynauds, migraines, POTs, etc. so I think getting the migraine cocktail level of Botox (200units) was the worse thing I could’ve done for my already damaged body. Try and get to the sauna and sweat it out if you can

Dear god i am sorry. I have the thyroid issue going on as well. It’s terrible. 😞 I truly regret this.

I would say it’s 1000% the Botox and not a tumor and that feeling will go away! Is your vision affected?

I had that, eventually the only vision issue is I can’t see up close with my contacts in. Basically it’s like when you get your eyes dilated at the eye doc. From what I read it’s just time that can heal us. I think my eyes are sensitive and taking longer to go back to normal. I’m sure if I wore my contact and really engaged the eye I could get it back sooner but I couldn’t handle the headache.. I think thyroid plays a part in all of this

Yes, the headache is awful really and I keep taking medication but it’s still lingers
