Spasms

[scruffycat]

is it possible to weaken one group of muscles so that weak/lazy or even with no brain signal (how do you tell, by the way) can grow stronger. If this is possible, will it do anything for muscle spasms?

How does benoflaxine know where to go? Isn't botox just a temp. measure? Questions, questions.

Good Morning Scruffycat!

I had to google benoflaxine, and ventlaflaxine came up! I did it a couple of times

because I have to double check these days, so I'm confused. Ventlaflaxine is

an antidepressant, so obviously has no connection since you mention botox.

Is benoflaxine botox?

Hi Beryl, I'm glad you mentioned ventlaflxie.I got the name wrong, as it is something another person takes.I googled it myself, and realised my mistake.

Boox is something totally different.Botulinum Toxin, is very dangerous in most hands but, can be helpfll in others.

Can you use Botox on eyelids ?

I know this is a simple answer, but I do stretches each day, as this helps my muscle spasms more that anything else.
