I has dysport on 24th Feb and fell ill approx 10 days later when I ended up in A & E (in England) with blurred vision, extreme anxiety and aching all over. I got gradually better over the next week as sleep got a little bit better and had 2 weeks of feeling totally normal, then it all came back again but alot worse. Between weeks 4 and 6 I felt dreadful and have lost 11lbs in weight and feel like I can’t lift my arms, cannot type properly or even hold a pen. I look and feel absolutely shattered. I live a really busy life and have 2 small children, I am never ill but this has totally floored me. I have been feeling slightly better the last 2 days and my appetite has returned so I am trying to eat loads while I feel like this. I have managed to work (just about) today and have booked to go for a neck massage tonight as this helps with the neck pain and headaches. I have been for my first session of acupuncture last week, this was great and although it did not stop the symptoms it made me feel a lot calmer. I feel like I am hopefully over the worst but feel like it is going to be a slow road to recovery. I think this site is great and it has been a lifeline for me over the past few weeks but I always leave it feeling a bit negative and panicked. I would love to read a story of somebody who has made a full recovery and quickly just to know that there is a bit of hope.

Overwhelmed..I had never had dysport or botox before. I researched & never found anything about what a black box warning was as it applied to dysport, or what it even meant; & believing that it was safe. Until after my injury from dysport. THEN IT WAS TOO LATE! It destroyed my lacrimal glands, constant eye infections, double pneumonia, emphysema & the infections crystalized into MY LACRIMAL GLANDS W/ MALT LYMPHOMA CANCER!

I’m new to this site & I’ve not used Botox or have ever desired too, Nevertheless, I did have the dysport injections just once, & it caused me to immediately lose all of my tearing ability with ZERO tears, followed …
