Follow-up: Well, There Are Other Fully Unvarnished & Totally veracious Truths about Botox Medications, Blepharospasms & Involuntary Muscle Contractions


As such, please refer to the excerpts below:



.............Whilst in terms of Botox injections for chronic Blepharospasm / rapid involuntary uncontrollable & seriously unmitigated non-stop eyelid twitchings / eye blinkings, that's also a troblesome solution as one would need to take "necessary" and perpetually continual periodical Botox injections of which each injections session would last for 3 - 6 months each, and one would need to take such syringe injections of Botox medications persistently and successively for the rest of one's life to mitigate and deal with one's chronic Blepharospasm disorder.



Besides, the most important point remains that given that the ones suffering from chronic Blepharospasm / rapid, involuntary, uncontrollable, purposeless eyelid twitching / eye blinking disorders who choose to take perpetually periodical syringe injections of Botox medications that are administered continually and periodically to their chronically twitching / blinking eyelids, well, they are actually and continually fed with such 100 % purely poisonous chemical substances from time to time in reality for the rest of their lives.



Next, it is worthy to take note that human bodies would tend to get immune to any medications especially the ones fed to them repeatedly from time to time, including Botox, particularly the ones composed of the identical chemical components as explained above / of the same version, and that's most probably the very reason why at certain times it didn't or fail to work.



In such a connection, Botox medications with different mixtures of chemical components and ingredients are often "invented", launched and promoted from time to time as new and latest cosmetic enhancement and medical-treatment products with one of the largely unknown purposes of overcoming such a problem of immunity.



Nevertheless, since such medications are all 100 % poisonous substances themselves, naturally no one would be able to tell or predict the consequences and the risks needed to be incurred, largely unknowingly, especially by the regular users of Botox medications of different brands and versions which are composed of different mix of chemical substances & ingredients over the long term.



And as such, this category of persons are thus highly and potentially exposed to, taking & running the extremely higher and higher risks from time to time of getting the related unavoidable, and possibly hardly reversible side effects of droopy, ruffled eyelids, other facial distortions etc in the end. which are quoted from :

http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1876371#i

- Botox and Surgical Solutions For Chronic Blepharospasm ? Are they reasonably really sensible, rational and practical under most of the circumstances ?




And well, since nothing is really 100% fully perfect in this world, which includes mainstream medicines, probably due to their potentially underlying theoretical and methodological inadequacy and limitations, and as such, in certain cases, much more effective cures under certain circumstances may be available from alternative medicines for certain disorders.



In the meantime, given that my related eye conditions are fully ok now ever since numerous years back in the distant past, and thus by making the previous posts above, I just merely wish to share with the intended related others about the great therapeutic & curative benefits that me and the numerous others on an ongoing basis from time to time, have derived & obtained from this particular acupressure cure :

as reflected through the fully unbiased third-party comments, of whom I totally do not know and have never ever met before as follows:



"I think Actually these persons distributed nearly the identical sore know-how as me from such debilitating sickness and for your data, there were numerous of them who were not so well-to-do, and therefore they could not pay for such costly health accounts of glimpsing the health experts or to get Botox injections / surgical remedy to deal with their non-stop eyelid-twitching problems. Therefore, when I suggested such an acupuncture method to them, I did it out of benevolent humanity, understanding and compassion, and express gratitude God that it worked on each and every individual of them ."

My eyelids twitched a lot before I started Topamax and before I had my first seizure. I now wonder if it was a sign of my brain's irritibility. Suggest you call your neuro and run it by him/her...just to ease your mind. I do feel 'crawly' and jumpy days 3-5 when my neuro ups my dose but no twitches. Let us know what u find out OK? Be well!
