Woman partially paralysed after receiving botox injections for migraines, lands in ICU
Hindustan TimesA woman from Texas, United States, was suffering from migraines when she was administered Botox injections to subside the pain. In her Instagram post, Hallock shared that she ‘ended up having a rare complication’ from botox injections given to her to alleviate her migraines. I have to wear a neck brace to help hold my head upright.” Additionally, Hallock has developed dysphagia and shared that it is the ‘scariest part’. The woman continued, “They moved me to ICU to be constantly monitored, and I’ve had six tubes shoved down my throat to get up all the mucus that’s stuck in my lungs and throat.” She also shared that she can barely talk and that her speech is ‘slurred and hoarse’. She told PEOPLE, “The doctors don’t believe that had anything to do with my reaction this time since I’d been doing these with the same for nearly five years without any issues.” “We’ve had multiple neurologists on my case, and it’s just really hard to narrow down why this happened at this particular time,” she says.
