"i don&#039;t recommend hcg prescription injections for anything. i had the worse headaches that i&#039;ve ever had in my life. the right side of my face started sagging and i was very weak. 1. er visit , i was in the trauma unit because they thought i had a stroke. wrong! 2. er visit, diagnosed as bell&#039;s palsy. wrong! 3. er visit, lyme disease! wrong again! it was the hcg! it may help women lose weight but definitely not worth the side effects!"
