Hi. I've got a question... Anyone bedsides me feel really tired for a while after a botox injection? My doctor told me I might experience flu-like symptoms after an injection but I've never had that problem. I just wondered if the fatigue might be from botox? Sara AD/SD

After my injection on Monday I came home at 3pm and slept on the couch for a few hours, then I was in bed by 9. The past few days I have been dragging butt all day. I checked my notes from the first injection, and I had made note that I was feeling very tired the first few days then also. No flu conditions though, luckily. | Recommend | Alert Where am I?

I think I have "flu-like symptons" in that my body sort of aches. Also, usually I get up at 3:30 a.m., drive 100 miles to catch a 6:30 a.m. flight to Houston, get my shots, catch a 1:30 flight out of Houston, and drive 100 miles back home. So...it helps if I take a day off to recouperate. Also, my neck is sore and my body in general just feels lousy. grannijudi cjtrayler@xit.net | Recommend | Alert Where am I?

I have what feels like muscle/joint aches similar to having flu or fever. I always take "shot day" off and often take a nap during the afternoon. After a good nights sleep I usually feel fine and totally back to normal the next morning. I have been getting Botox injections for 9 years now, and these symptoms are almost always the same.
