It is amazing! I got the bilateral botox injections at 10 am on Tuesday. By noon, my right lung was breathing deeply, around 1 pm I got this strange bilateral tingling in my quads that lasted for two seconds, and then my left lung immediately kicked in breathing deeply.

When I got on the plane to go home around 4pm I took a strong muscle relaxant to help with the trip home. Within 20 minutes I could feel all of my fingertips (not as much with the pointer finger and thumb, and I have been able to feel the ring fingers since December following a bilateral pec minor release). I was so happy I started crying. This guy sitting next to me actually moved seats because he, I am sure I looked like a loon smiling with tears streaming down my face while touching my fingertips intently.

Spent part of Wednesday calling the jackass doctors in town who said it was all in my head letting them know that the botox helped. Partly for self satisfaction, and partly in an effort to prevent them from doing the same to someone else.

Went to work yesterday (desk job typing)made it until 45 minutes prior to going home okay (not great, but manageable discomfort) then became completely exhausted went home and slept 12 hours.

Stayed home today, hoping for more improvement over the weekend. Fingers are hypersensitive. Grasping muscles in hands have clearly atrophied. Heavy doors are not so heavy. Actually opened one particular door in a public place twice because I had always dreaded it, and it was so much lighter than in the past, I just wanted to double check it then walked away smiling because opening that door and finding it manageable was just awesome. Finding myself confused with the sense of touch. I feel like the blind man given his sight back.
