Lauren's Story

Lauren joins us from the UK for episode 31 of the Botox Injury Stories podcast. She received a small amount of cosmetic Botox in her forehead and 11 lines for the first time in 2021. Immediately afterwards, she became fatigued and laid down to rest. This evolved into severe and persistent migraines and blurry vision for many months, in addition to all of the systemic autonomic nervous system disruption symptoms. Her intuition knew it was the Botox, but like so many of us she was gaslit and mostly ignored by her injector and many doctors. Lauren is a single mom, and somehow navigated this nightmare with minimal support from family and friends. In this episode we talk about how her symptoms unfolded, how her injector (and almost every other doctor) gaslit and ignored her, and how she is managing her symptoms today, more than 5 years out.Link for reporting Botox adverse effects in the UK: Yellow Card | Making medicines and medical devices saferVisit ⁠www.botoxtruths.com⁠ for more information.Follow us on Instagram @botoxinjurystories and @botoxtruths
