Well, well, this is a surprise.....Botox injections have produced symptoms of botulism....the FDA isn't saying much yet.....this is breaking news on CNN right now....there have been deaths reported among children (usually using this for medical reasons to relieve muscle spasm) and hospitalizations among adults. Botox is widely used for cosmetic reasons, and also has applications for relief of muscle spasms. I suspect the problems are more frequent in the muscle spasm group as likely the dosage was higher and the injection probably deeper?? However, apparently the FDA has decided to issue this bulletin, but hasn't said for sure, that Botox has produced mild botulism, only the symptoms, there of.

I do happen to know a woman who was overdosed on this and her misery was unreal....she went in for severe tension headaches and got the wrong dosage. I lost touch with her, so I don't know how it ended but after several months she was still wearing a soft collar and unable to hold up her head very well.

My wrinkles just a got a whole lot better looking--heh, heh, so did I... and my foot and hand cramps...well, I think I will take a different approach, even if it is pharmaceutical, it won't be anything too new, nor botox.
