Hi tess, I have been taking Bowtox for muscle spasms in my left arm for about 8 yrs. I have had parkinson's disease since i was 25 and i am now 61. About Bowtox, so far i haven't had any side effect that i can contribute to the bowtox. I can only say for myself. BOWTOX is the only relief the doctors has found to help my muscle spasms. -- tess owens <[log in to unmask]> wrote: Hello All Could anyone share their experience or has knowledge about the use of Botox to decrease salivation? My mom is receiving injections of Botox in her neck to decrease drooling, however I am concerned aout the impact on her breathing. My mom has had a several episodes in which it sounds like her breath is shallow and labored and I want to know if there is any correlation with the use of Botox. My mom said the botox has helped with the drooling, which is good, however I am concerned about adverse effects. Also does Botox impact voice in an adverse way? My mom has had issues with her voice for several years, however it seemed more prominent after DBS. thank you friends, your experience and knowledge is greatly appreciated.. with kindness tess owens, daughter of Arzell Owens ?Courage doesn't always roar.
