I had my Botox injections almost two weeks ago now.. and this has been brutal so far. I am still in excruciating pain and the complications (I hope they are complications, anyway!) are really disturbing!
I haven't noticed any relief from the pain this time, but my motion side to side has improved a bit. I don't think I have as much motion as I had with the first set of injections and now, I am having serious problems with the strength in my neck muscles.
I manage for the first part of the day to keep my head mostly upright.. But after a few hours.. My head just becomes too heavy for me to hold up.
My head seems like it gets so heavy.. Like my brain wants me to look down at the floor, no matter what I do, my head flops forward. Just like a Flopsy Mopsy doll!
When I try to look in the mirror, or in the upper kitchen cabinets, I can't lean back enough to see that high. The top of my head is forward and my forehead is facing the floor.. when I try to lean back at the waist, I can hardly even see to grab a drinking glass from the low shelf.. And I can forget, at all, about seeing the upper shelves. I am struggling to tilt and lean way over to the side enough to be able to see out of the corner of my eyes.. To look up, at all.
It's now late in the day, and I am having to write this entry while lying down on the couch. I have to more strength to hold my head up. There's no way I could function sitting in a chair or at the computer desk, I'd be stuck watching the keyboard instead of the monitor!
Hopefully, the Botox toxin will level out soon and I can find out if this is a side effect or if I am just getting worse! :(
As a sign of gratitude for how my husband was saved from cervical dystonia/spasmodic torticollis, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
ReplyDeleteMy husband was diagnosed of cervical dystonia/spasmodic torticollis in 2013 and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, he always have Joint pain , and he always complain of Weakness of the body . we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and he left the contact of the doctor who had the cure to cervical dystonia/spasmodic torticollis . I never imagined cervical dystonia/spasmodic torticollis has a natural cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my husband will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my husband used it and in one months he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life. cervical dystonia/spasmodic torticollis has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get the medication. Thanks for reading my testimony.
