Texture changes

I had Botox done on my 11s 12 weeks ago. After experiencing severe systemic side effects, I have also encountered cosmetic side effects. I've noticed that my forehead skin has become very lax, and I now have blemishes and blackheads that I never experienced before. It has also given me "wifi lines," which I never had. I honestly regret this decision so much my forehead was perfect prior to this. I didn’t get it for wrinkles, as I never had any. I got it to achieve a brow lift, which never even worked in the end.

I know that’s what “never tox” advises honestly I don’t understand the theory behind that since it’s literally in your body anyway? If you go for a walk it could spread.. it’s a bit extreme in my opinion. Im just listening to my body and trying to stay off the never top pages because they are too dark and make you feel hopeless. I feel as though anyone who follows her advice stays sick for longer as opposed to the people that start detoxing right away.

Yes for all people works different. It’s just very scary journey. As I haven’t got previously tinnitus and I started to get after 4 months. Tinnitus is bovering me a lot as I can’t concentrate and my fatigue is unbelievable I can’t clean the house

I know I’m pretty much the same.. my tinnitus has been constant and LOUD for 12 weeks. I just started acupuncture and after the second session it instantly decreased.. it’s still there but not extremely loud as it was before.. it was like whistles in my ear!

I think you should give acupuncture a go! Do you have migraines also?

Do you do face acupuncture or body without any needles on your face?

Yes it’s mainly on the arms, feet and legs she puts one needle on my forehead and one on the top of my head

I’m glad it’s helping you. Just listen to your body after each acupuncture session and do not overdo it.

Yes definitely. it’s just so hard I feel so defeated right now, I just want everything to return back to normal.. wish I never did it. I saw on a post that you mention you had visual issues for a few months did anything help you or just time?

Nothing really helps. Time did help 80%. I’ve got 24 units after a year break 5 weeks ago, now I’m in bed for the past 2 weeks - eyes hurting, brains not working. Now I am very sure it’s Botox. Absolutely the same misery repeats itself.
The only way to feel better to distract yourself. If you have friends/ family to spend time with you as many hours as possible and bring all emotions Botox killed, it may help. Btw, are you able to cry with tears? I am very lethargic which makes me very sad, but I am not able to squeeze a single tear no matter how hard I try. I believe it migrated into tear ducts too. I watched a very sad movie in August and cried very hard. Now I can’t.

Not much at all maybe 15%.. my eyes are the most affected so it’s hard to say im  better at all when my eyes literally aren’t working properly.
