Episode 225 Being Real about Botox Injury Part 5

In the final part of my Botox Injury series for the season, I had the honour to interview one of my fave women Angela to share her final experience with Botox.

Like the other guests, Ang had zero idea this type of reaction was a possibility.

Botox is something that is sold to you around every corner, every medical office and the pressure to remain ageless is more viscous than ever before.

More people are doing it on the regular so it’s gotta be safe and normal, right?

Ang didn’t really consider doing Botox at first until she started seeing advertisements and the thought process began of wanting to prevent wrinkles.

I often wonder if this thought would be thought if it wasn’t marketed to us. 🤔

They really grab us and take hold don’t they 😩

But since it’s so normalized she thought nothing of it and thought why not!?!

Years went by with no issues.

One December day in 2023 she received 189 units of dysport and went about her life having zero clue what was ahead.

She was a busy mama, wife and photographer so when symptoms started popping up over the first few weeks after her appointment, she chalked it up to being busy or possibly getting sick or being a mama (you guys do this too much!)

But after day 17 things turned drastically worse.

She ended up in the hospital showing signs of strokes and zero answers of what was happening.

She was finally able to get her validation that it was in fact the Botox but unfortunately nothing more than time can help.

Well I mean there’s the anti-toxin but that’s apparently only if you are inches to death 😩

Now nearly 18 months out she shares what it was like going through this, being gaslit the entire time and while going through it, she also had to deal with online silly mo-fos denying her experience.

She’s one of the strongest women I’ve been so blessed to meet along my journey and I’m so proud of the growth and healing she’s done. Not just on her own journey but helping every one else along the way.

I’m so happy to see the tides slowly changing and her spicy spark is coming back stronger than ever 💥

Join myself and Ang as she walks me through life before and after her Botox Injury.
