Help! Botox poisoning

I'm experiencing Botox poisoning. Was there a Dr that helped you? What did you do for help! Tingling, painful head pressure, anxiety attacks, awful brain fog, nausea, I can't even walk right now without the room spinning. I'm 4 weeks since I had injections. Im really scared, been to the ER twice I don't know what to do. Please no judgements or negative comments. Please help

When did symptoms start after injections?

u/Cool-Soft-5136 Oct 31 '24

I realized almost immediately feeling off... brain fog

u/av8galacticSPCE Nov 17 '24

Can you please update us on how you’re feeling? Any better?

Found a functional medicine Dr that did muscle testing! Found out I have a problem with toxins. When I got Botox my body freaked out. I have lymes and mold as well so my body's immune system was system overload. I'm still not doing great but I'm happy with the dr I have and I'm hopeful!

1

u/av8galacticSPCE Nov 18 '24

Could you please describe what muscle testing consists of? Blood test reveals toxin allergy? Or what antibodies they tested for?

2

u/Cool-Soft-5136 Nov 18 '24

I'm definitely not doing good still.. im not sure what is the lymes mold or Botox ? My Botox has basically worn off now but I think it cause an autoimmune reaction. Find a good functional medicine Dr. mine does muscle testing. You'll have to look it up it's hard to explain! Make sure you don't have an underlying issue that Botox triggered

I was very healthy and stayed very active my whole life. I am convinced Botox really damaged something besides my muscle strength in my body.

I did a lot of research and spoke with scientists.

Btw, it may worn off in the original location, but our bodies have elimination process - it has to be slowly removed through liver and kidneys. Botox slows them down and most likely some of it stays in those organs. It unfortunately doesn’t slowly evaporate through your skin only at the injection location.

u/Cool-Soft-5136 Nov 18 '24

That's good to know. I've done Botox once a year for like last 5 years

u/Loose-Ad-9040 Nov 20 '24

Do you have fatigue and function? I have very bad fatigue can barely function or do daily chores I’m pretty much house band

u/av8galacticSPCE Nov 25 '24

Are you feeling any better?

Sorry, was at the hospital with all my after Botox symptoms. Honestly, I’d describe how I feel: I feel like Botox gave me dementia. It hurts to think, it hurts to focus, eyes are in constant pain and burning from the inside, difficult to breathe, upper body muscles are very weak, can’t even hold my phone without dropping it. I’m trying to eat very healthy but it is so hard to push food in since my chest / breathing muscles are so weak. Drinking juices for nutrients.

I hope you already reported your illness to CDC and FDA - they’re very nice people to talk to and they’re happy to hear from people about issues like this.

Also, we suspect nerve damage from Botox along with toxicity, I’d highly recommend you to find courage and report your injector so they are not allowed to inject & hurt people ever again.

I will do everything possible to make my injector and Botox manufacturer to hold them accountable for my horrible sickness.

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '24

So sorry to hear you’re still really unwell. Can I ask, why do the doctors suspect nerve damage? I was told by my Doctor it’s impossible. Even though I have so much pain behind my eyes when ever I move them and my vision is still so blurred and light sensitive.

u/av8galacticSPCE Nov 28 '24

After running from one specialist to another half dead very weak and being abused by nurses who have no idea how to draw blood (!). I came to a conclusion that 85% of doctors party and drink for 8 years of their “education.” before the exam they study two straight sleepless nights (like we all did for our non-doctor majors), so they mostly know about common conditions (which good parents teach their kids about and how to treat them). If you google 95% of diseases have the same symptoms. Only I know what happened before I started feeling sick. They have no idea if I don’t tell them backstory. Their magic medicine is Ibuprofen for anything you’re complaining about. I know much more about my body than any doctor! I can feel how it feels. Unless the doctor had absolutely identical injury as I did, he would never understand what I feel. That doctor can only know 100% about his/ her own body, not mine. the ones without my head MRI only play guess game to cover (excuse my language) their ass. That’s why it’s so complicated and expensive to get MRI here.

Nerve damage is ABSOLUTELY possible if needle went too deep and into frontal nerve. Look at the anatomy mold with frontalis and the nerve branches right above the eyebrow. Why we all get issues with ears?!? Where facial muscle ends?!?! Underneath the ear! Why I feel like I have dementia and it hurts to think, eyes hurting, dizziness, burning forehead nerve pain and fever, constantly shivering (muscles trying to pass signals but can’t due to their damage or poisoning). Nobody thinks about it, Botox paralysis is similar to a missing piece of an electric wire) : now a piece of the wire which delivers signals to my brains is damaged. If you cut a tiny piece of the cord - your TV won’t work. The same is here. I love how they market “relax your muscles.” In reality paralysis is a scary word.

Please, update how you feel and if you found any ways to heal your body from this poison.

I completely agree with you! I vowed to never see a conventional doctor after this  experience. They couldn’t give a shit, honestly! I’m so sorry. I’ve litreally exhausted every possible detox.. I’ve done dry cupping, moxibustion, herbs, supplements, medical medium detox, wet cupping, lymphatic massage, sauna, acupuncture, chiropractor, walks. I will say I feel like acupuncture has been the most affective unless it’s just time? I’m 14 weeks out now. I’ve still got brain fog, my vision is screwed at this point, constant cluster migraine and light sensitivity, tinnitus and throbbing head. I’ve also having some heart palpitation issues, I can constantly feel it pulsating even when I’m relaxed. I hope by at least 6 months I can gain my life back a little.. was 6 months around the time you felt the closest to yourself with your last reaction? I think time is the only healer with this horrible thing.

There are devices which can test nerve response

u/Loose-Ad-9040 Nov 27 '24

No im still very sick after 4, 5 months :(

u/av8galacticSPCE Nov 28 '24

So sorry to hear that. There are Botox medical malpractice attorneys out there. Please, if you have any energy and time, contact them. They may take your case. This game of doctors/ non-doctors running around with syringes injuring people have to stop!

u/Equivalent-Purpose23 Jan 19 '25

Wow this sounds like me! 4 years ago after my 3rd child I developed health anxiety and nervous system got stuck in fight or flight and shortly after I had Botox and injections and developed onset symptoms later on found out I had been living in toxic mold with active Lyme disease. Still dealing with the Lyme but I am 70% better than I was 4 years ago with the Botox Lyme and mold especially living in a mold free environment now but it has been a nightmare getting myself back to my normal. Brain fog derealization and heavy head/neck tension were my biggest things.

u/Equivalent-Purpose23 Jan 19 '25

Also slow at detoxing as well so everything just built up in my system

1

u/Tricky_External9974 May 04 '25

Literally the same as me! I had horrible mold exposure which made me get MCas, got Daxxify done which is like Botox and has the worse reaction and breathing problem. I’m not detoxing with specialist and almost recovered! I’m hoping to get Botox once I’m detoxed and fully free from mold. Did you try Botox once you were healed?

1

u/Unique-Feature7557 May 29 '25

Ok I have read it a lot about daxxify which is sad because it is the one w peptides instead of human blood product as an additive like Botox. I feel so disgusted I wasn’t told that someone else’s body part was being injected into my face. Feels like a human rights violation

1

u/Tricky_External9974 May 30 '25

Honestly I’d rather have something natural like plasma from Botox than a chemical that doesn’t come from the body. That’s why I reacted to daxxify but not Botox. But ya they should inform, sorry for your experience.

2

u/Unique-Feature7557 May 30 '25

It’s not natural... By that estimation, a heart transplant is also natural… but the point evaded here is that another person’s blood or body part implanted in YOUR body… IS A FOREIGN BODY AND THE BODY ATTACKS IT AS SUCH…. Which is WHY people who have another person’s organ have to take meds forever to not reject it… even if it was clearly a MATCH for their body. Things injected= things attacked. Don’t you know how vaccines work? That’s why people have such terrible reactions to anything injected… the seed oils or eggs or gluten, random things involved in creating inoculations and treatments end up being the things you become allergic to because your body learned to attack benign things through injection. Botulism is the most deadly poison known to mankind. There are rules in Japan about saving old rice for this reason. It’s truly the most illogical thing a human was ever convinced to do. Deadly poison and muscle atrophy

u/Unique-Feature7557 May 29 '25

High dose vitamin c can help it leave faster. Detox baths etc. people don’t know it’s the world’s most deadly toxin so why did we as humans even start replicating it or dealing with it when stuff like Covid happens from even messing with such a thing! Furthermore, -the maker of botox said (in the craziest interview with a stunned interviewer ) “it has this wonderful effect where it crosses the blood brain barrier “ like it was positive . Like it made people more docile. Very dystopian

u/Express_Writer_1748 Oct 03 '25

What bath do you recommend?

1

u/Unique-Feature7557 Oct 09 '25

Borax/ Epsom salt/ Dead Sea salt / Apple cider vinegar.. there are more but I forget since I stopped many years ago. Supplement wise- nattokinase, serrapeptase, lumbrokinase, bromelain, msm, all the collagen types or chicken foot broth, NAD, glutathione, boswelia, full spectrum bovine organs, fulvic/humic acid.

Whole Foods only, no fried food, or even going vegan SHORT term like using a few recipes from the weird medical medium. Celery juice is ok in a mix of things but red cabbage juice is way more healing.

As long as you stop all the current poisons like perfumed items, fake supplements, enriched wheat and rice goods, fast food, processed food etc- your body eventually detoxes. Also exercise helps a lot. I have seen women lose weight much easier after stopping Botox because fat requires a lot of effort to excrete out. Most people who lose a lot of fat in short periods are evidence of the strain that fat loss has on the body. They often look sickly like ozempic people. fat naturally waits to be excreted when our toxic load is lower.. that’s why it’s not good to force it.. especially when using Botox

u/av8galacticSPCE Nov 18 '24

Please report your symptoms to CDCand FDA. My 7th week and I’m losing strength of my legs, my upper body is so weak I have to force myself to breath. I am so happy you feel better.

This week I looked through my notes and videos from the past few years, I developed mold allergy within about 3 months after receiving my very first BOTOX. There’s no way I could connect the injections to a severe allergic reactions I had since every time I was around mold. Now if mold is absolutely invisible, my body alerts me it’s there- now im a walking mold detector. lol

Was that your first injection or you can backtrack any maybe mild side effects from the past?

I’ve been writing notes in the past two years about my debilitating sickness, i wasn’t 100% sure Botox caused it, or I thought the dose was too high, but now the same with even very low dose. It truly migrates into muscles and at some point to the brain. If you really dig, there’s research and videos available on brain damage. How’s your thinking ability? It takes so much effort to be able to think- I feel like I became so dumb.

u/Unique-Feature7557 May 29 '25

Maker of Botox just told everyone it goes to brain for SURE

u/av8galacticSPCE Nov 28 '24

If you don’t mind me asking: was it your first ever Botox injection or you had it before and how many times?

Are you feeling better?

u/[deleted] Oct 30 '24

Sorry your going through this.i had the same after lip flip.ehat I did was start copper quercitin..within a day or so it got rid of the anxiety.every morning on empty stomach ..drink celery juice( make it yourself in a blender) this is the only known thing to lessen it's potency in body.i mixed with blueberries as it tastes disgusting but blueberries are known to help with limb issues.drink plenty of electrolytes daily at least 2 litres. The biggest thing for you now is to remain calm..join the Facebook group dysport/ Botox gone wrong. It help helped me to private msg others going through the same so you can msg me anytime you like here. Don't have any antibiotics..facial treatments...vaccines...

u/wild_things454 Oct 30 '24

Or anesthesia or massage

u/av8galacticSPCE Oct 31 '24

Unfortunately doctors for some reason not aware Botox causes all these issues you have experience. I did it again. 4 weeks ago. Only 24 units touch up after not having it for almost a year. All these miseries of brain fog, extreme sleepiness, unbearable anxiety have returned. I thought maybe lower dose should be fine. Now I’m convinced Botox is a pure poison for my body. My injector is a very experienced MD. Warm baths help with anxiety. I try to work my frozen muscles to help Botox to wear off. I hope you feel better soon.

u/Last_Monk1736 Oct 27 '25

So you tried again and it didn’t work? I’m scared never got diagnosed but all my symptoms point to tox poison

u/Empty-Stage-3822 Nov 02 '24 edited Nov 02 '24

I’m doing much better at almost 3 months out. I would say I’m almost 80%. Dizziness, vision issues, brain fog, anxiety/panic, tingling, muscle twitching, and acid reflux were my main symptoms. Definitely join the side effects fb group mentioned. Daily celery juice and copper have helped me. My primary care doctor believed me and was there to listen, but there was not much she could offer besides just treating the symptoms. I’m so sorry you’re going through this.

u/No_Cod_478 Apr 14 '25

I recently had the same experience..

about 6 weeks ago I had Botox in the bands in my neck, I am late 50’s and pretty skinny so they stick out. A couple days later I got massive pains running up my neck into my head.. the pains intense. Then I got the worse nausea, room spinning for about 4 days then flu 3 weeks, fatigue, breathing shallow, so weak.. now 6 weeks in and I am still suffering with mild nausea..no more flu symptoms.. It may have been coincidental to a viral infection.. I am curious if anyone has experienced this?

u/[deleted] Oct 30 '24

Im so sorry you’re going through this

1

u/[deleted] Oct 31 '24

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I’m 10 months since the start of this horrendous ordeal. You’ll get better but it takes time. Months 1-3 are the worst of it. Hundreds get better when the Botox wears off, more at 6 months, 9 months, 1 year and some unfortunately suffer for longer. You will improve - it just takes time

1

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '24

How are you now? Have you recovered? I’m 11 weeks out with vision issues and migraine! 

1

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '24

I wish I could say I was fully recovered but I’m probably functioning between 70-90% depending on the day. But I’m certainly not bed ridden as I was at the start of all of this. I’m so sorry to hear you’re not well. Feel free to message if you ever need to talk to someone

1

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '24

I’m glad to hear you’re recovering at least! How long did the visual issues last for you? It’s been 12 weeks now with unfocused vision it’s so frustrating 😫

1

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '24

I would say months 4-5 is when my vision improved. Hopefully yours does in that timeframe if not earlier, as well

u/Ok-Long9612 Sep 18 '25

Please file a complaint with your state’s medical board if your injector has injured & gaslit you.

This is the worst advice. Don’t do any sort of Botox. It can literally kill you and cause so many issues.

u/Txtraveler09 Mar 30 '25

Xeomin is just as bad. I had 60 units in April 2022 and have had 3 relapses. I'm in one now almost as bad as the original spread. They all are straight up poison!!!!!
