I was all booked in to get Botox and really excited. I have horrendous 11 lines and I am still relatively young. They look awful and make me feel awful too. I was booked in with someone really reputable.
I don’t know why I did this again but looked up some side effects to expect. I understand that in small doses it’s considered safe but in more therapeutic doses there could be a risk of breathing difficulties. I read about a woman who suffered an anaphylactic shock and subsequently died after using Botox, this had terrified me as I knew someone who died from this and had no idea botox could potentially cause this. There’s no way of knowing before an injection of someone is allergic. There was another case of a man with brain damage which he blamed was from using Botox although I don’t think this was proven.
I am really risk adverse and these stories have freaked me out. I have young kids and don’t want to do anything that could make me really ill. But at the same time I am so disappointed and fed up as these lines look so awful and I am in my early 30’s. I am v clean living but they are getting more severe. I guess I could just live with them....
I just don’t know what to do now, wish there was a safer alternative which worked
