I was unable to open the link, or access directly. However I did find the page after a google search:

Botox treatment specifically for upper limb spasticity falls more into the realm of a physiatrist rather than a neuro. So maybe get a referral? You need to pair it with OT so that you can get the most of it when it is at its peak (3 weeks post injection).
I had injections October 17th and just finished one week of OT. The first thing I noticed two days after the injection was just how weak my arm and hand is with reduced tone. I'm going to see how well things go with stretching and exercises and then be reassessed in January to see if I should get more injections in February.

When I got up yesterday morning I felt so weak and weaker than I've ever felt in my life. It is rather alarming...the extreme weakness; I think the spasticity is what kept my frame upright!
I hope some of this weakness is from a pill. IDK, the thot is might not be, is scarey.
I'll have some work to do, now. fed
