Amanda's Story

Amanda joins us from the UK for episode 39 of the Botox Injury Stories podcast. She shares her truly harrowing experience with severe botulism following a routine Botox treatment. She suffered from a sudden inability to speak or breathe after just 45 units of cosmetic toxin, and was rushed by ambulance into intensive care. Thankfully, she was able to tell her son and husband what had happened to her before losing her ability to speak. She did receive the antitoxin, but as you will hear she still suffers from nerve pain and a few other symptoms at almost a year out. Amanda's story is harrowing, but thankfully she is doing much better and had an amazing support system while recovering. Visit ⁠www.botoxtruths.com⁠ for more information.

Jess's Story

Jess joins us for episode 37 of the Botox Injury Stories podcast. She is currently about nine months out from receiving Botox injections, however she only recently put two and two together, connecting her ongoing health issues that began days after the Botox with the injections. Jess received two rounds of Botox for TMJ pain from her dentist in August of 2025. Within days of her second treatment, her body was sent into a tailspin of symptoms, including extreme fatigue, muscle weakness, intense anxiety, and profound autonomic nervous system disruption. Jess discusses endless medical tests, MCAS and the diet she had to go on, and how a certain type of chiropractic care has helped her return to about 70%.

Jessica's Story

Jessica joins us for episode 35 of the Botox Injury Stories podcast to share her botulism poisoning story. When she was only two and a half months out from her previous appointment, Jessica was reinjected and likely overloaded with toxin, triggering a cascade of severe neurological symptoms, horrific migraines, chest pain, back pain, and profound fatigue. After multiple hospital stays, a misdiagnosed brain malformation, and endless gaslighting from providers who perform the procedure, it was an honest dermatologist who finally validated her experience and diagnosed her with neurotoxicity. Despite the physical toll, and the immense challenge of raising 3-year-old twins during this nightmare, Jessica bravely persevered to graduate from barber school. This episode discusses how she is navigating her recovery, managing ongoing physical therapy for severe nerve pain, and reclaiming her life 10 months out.
