Episode 224 Being real about Botox Injury Part 4

In the 4th part of this series, I bring Kaley on to share her experience with Botox and the final appointment that changed her entire life. She had just stepped away from a career as an OR nurse for nearly a decade and was going to focus on getting married and starting a family. She had been receiving Botox for the cosmetic side of things and although she did have mild side effects in the past, once she got her masseters done, she was in an entirely different experience. Immediately she felt relief from her headache but her jaw felt like she was beat up. Calling her injector, she ensured her that it was normal and to carry on. A few days later things slowly then quickly turned for the worse. Kaley was struggling to swallow during a dinner a few days later. She went to sleep and when she woke up, she felt like she was extremely heavy, feeking like her arms were bricks, she knew something was wrong. As it tends to do her symptoms progressed to heart palpitations, chest pains, nasal congestion & a heavy body… plus all the mental anguish to work through. After been gaslit several times as one does with this journey, she was validated that it was the Botox but she did not qualify for the anti-toxin…. The journey these women have to take is absolutely insane. The follows up to try to figure out what’s wrong just to be told tests are normal and it can’t possibly be the Botox hurts my brain 🤯 I’m glad more and more women are feeling empowered to speak up and share their experiences. Hopefully more women will have more informed consent so they know what they are facing if they choose to inject.Kaley is on her way to being mended but time is truly all that can heal and I truly hope she comes out of this stronger and feistier than ever! We just want informed consent babes ❤️
