Posted on Mon, 15 Feb 2016
Question: Hello, I received Botox injection for lupus induced migraines after day 1 I feel like flu, swollen eyes, rash and intention where injection was and still hurts to touch, dry mouth, dry lips so much so I wake with tongue stuck roof of mouth and lips stuck closed- beyond painful I feel like I'm drying out from the inside out.... I'm dying. My sinises are burning dry and more pain if I let humidity drop below 50% but still can't sleep since Oct 2, 2015. Only an hour or 2 at a time. Dry eyes drops every 15 minutes, migraine non stop since injection like I've never had, bowel issues lost 7 pounds 5 ft 5 now 105 pounds, hurts to eat, no taste to foods, forcing water & food down. I'm on lisinaprol also and I get worse after I take it 30mg, I stopped Valium for IC spasms 2 months ago due dryness in mouth sinises beyond painful, down 5mg 3 times a day of oxycodone (for IC bladder herniated disc) I was on 5mg 5 times a day. The pain of the dryness is worse then anything I've ever felt. My blood pressure was controlled before Botox injection now it's 180's/120's then drops to normal 123/70's with in hour... I was in hospital Friday for angiogram but as on table canceled it hurt so bad to breath and eyes so dry as sinuses... Vaginal dryness yeast infection and thrush after 2.5 months of dry... Was put on vaginal cream and nystatin - Botox cuase SJS? Lisinaprol making worse?? I have SLE lupus, Sorjgerns, auto IC, Raynuads became worse after Botox too- my whole head tingles months burns when in shower. I called board of health and CDC has to order Botox testing. No one ever warned me of that and CDC won't test. Even though I match up to warnings on Alergerns PHARACUTICAL warnings. I'm dying and no one cares or can't help those want to. They never heard Botox issues only with muscle injection yet I read about them. I just want to live. Help please any suggestions? Could I have SJS? No blisters on skin- system wouldn't allow me to down load more then one picture. Salivary glands in grape vine swollen off and on since 10/2/15- plus indentation of face and red XXXXXXX swollen eyes and lips

Brief Answer:
BOTOX is NOT known to cause SJS

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

I can certainly understand your concerns.

I apologize for the delayed response owing to my work schedule.

I went through your query and attached reports in detail.

Many of your symptoms like dry mouth, dry eyes, elevated BP ,dry lips and tongue , swollen eyes and gums are predominantly the side effects of BOTOX.

Increased vaginal dryness and burning sensation are also reportedly caused by BOTOX.

All formulations are usually prescribed with a black box warning. BOTOX is also strongly contraindicated in the presence of autoimmune and neurological disease.

BOTOX is NOT known to cause SJS.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you
