If I bite my lip/chin I can feel maybe half of the sensation. Although a week ago I couldn't feel anything. I hope this means my nerve will repair itself soon! I think I may have type 1 injury (Neuropraxia). My speech isn't as impaired which is good. But i'm constantly depressed/lost weight because of it..not to mention the strain its putting on my supportive husband
