Has it helped? Any side effects?

I had a friend that used this for her bladder, she always claimed that it helped a lot.

[lbenmaor in reply to RoyceNewton]

Thanks. did it help her any other way?

[RoyceNewton in reply to lbenmaor]

I do not know, she never mentioned anything except her bladder,

[lbenmaor in reply to RoyceNewton]

back in 2008 i had a bad spasm on the left side of my face effecting my left eye. it looked like i was winking all the time. first attempt to "fix" it was to use botox injections. for me it did not work so had to have brain surgery. i think it depends on what you are using it for. i think if you added a little more details to your post you might get a better response. i wish you the best for your situation and you find the answers you need

[lbenmaor in reply to MS_Indestructible]

Thanks for the reply. I'm educating myself on all the options to help MS.

my surgery was needed to separate a blood vessel that was putting pressure on a nerve that had weakened due to MS. hope my comment helps

[lbenmaor in reply to MS_Indestructible]

I hope it helped.

[MS_Indestructible in reply to lbenmaor]

it did no more spasms, however, i have now lost my hearing in my left ear. MS get you one way or another

[lbenmaor in reply to MS_Indestructible]

I am so sorry to hear that.

[bxrmom in reply to MS_Indestructible]

So sorry you lost the hearing in one ear from the surgery

[MS_Indestructible in reply to bxrmom]

doubtful the loss of hearing is from the surgery as it was 10 years ago, but one never knows. It is believed to have been from a common ear virus and due to my weakened condition, the virus won out. It is the same ear that I was told I could lose hearing from the surgery.

I’ve recovered kids who got injections for spastic arms or legs, I assume it could work the same way for MS.

[lbenmaor in reply to kdali]

I'm glad it helped.

I had Botox in the bladder a few times. It worked. But, I also got lots of UTIs,

[lbenmaor in reply to Lgraham78108]

Glad it helped. sorry you got UTIs

I’ve never heard of it. Interesting though. Sounds a lot like several years ago when bee stings were nature’s cure for MS. I never tried it, it sounds too painful, please keep us posted. It sounds interesting.

I use for my frown lines between my eyes as I get bad migraines and it works , worth every cent

[lbenmaor in reply to Morgie]

Glad it helps.

[bxrmom in reply to Morgie]

So glad it helps with your migraines!

I tried it two times. It helped but my leg felt like a log. Good luck.

hi Leslie,

I have had Botox injected into my bladder. While it is not a pleasant experience, it is not painful. It helped a lot with my overactive bladder. The only side effect was a little bit of constipation that can be managed with MiraLAX. I went from having to get up 3-4 times in the night to go to the bathroom to being able to sleep seven or eight hours straight without having to get up at all. I am supposed to be getting Botox injections in my legs Because I can’t really get my knees apart… I am confined to a wheelchair because my MS has progressed. Both my physiatrist (Rehabilitation specialist) and my neurologist think it will be very helpful. My father has had Botox injections in his head for trigeminal neuralgia. It is the only thing that has helped him. The needles do not hurt because they numb The area. I will let you know how the injections on my legs work out. I’m just waiting for clearance from my insurance company… I’m sure you all have been there. With all due respect to the other posts this is nothing like snake venom or bees stings… These are treatments that are backed with studies and data. I encourage anybody who is interested in this to speak with their doctors. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

I'm glad it helped with your overactive bladder. I also take Miralax.

I agree it's very helpful. Enjoy the weekend!
