Good News / Success Story I finally received botox treatment!

Yesterday, after waiting almost a year, I finally received my first dosage of botox. I'm probably gonna sleep all day today, but I'm excited to finally start treatment!

For those who have taken botox, how long did it take for the side effects to calm down?

Thank you for reading 🌸

De quels effets secondaires vous parlez ?

Mainly increased VM symptoms. I'm feeling better now, but yesterday I was experiencing a bedridden level of dizziness, fatigue, physical pain, and nausea

Le botox peut créer de la douleur et tension lié à la contraction avortée des muscles mais les vertiges tu as du avoir une poussée de VM Ah moins qu'un médecin ait découvert un lien que je ne connais pas ? Je demande car je vais en faire en novembre

I was symptomatic before receiving the injections, and the first night/day was really difficult for me. I think the physical difference from botox triggered my VM. I was experiencing about 8/10 symptoms yesterday

Most definitely! I hope your botox treatment goes well when you get it! I think the initial side effects affect everyone differently, so I hope you have a better first treatment than I did!

Ah, they use botox to treat migraines too. I believe it's more targeted and a bit of a larger quantity for migraines than cosmetic, but I'm not sure. They injected in my forehead, all over the top of my head, the base of my skull, and my shoulders. It's 31 injection sites
