Me too! Mine was a complication of the shingles which was on my face, affecting 2 branches of the Trigeminal nerve.

I didn't really mind the blisters and the ensuing scabs, I even managed the pain, but I was horrified when one side of my face decided to droop and there was absolutely nothing I could do about it.

I was struggling through a particularly bad exacerbation at the time, and just as the Neuro was talking about starting cortisone to help ease the relapse symptoms, the blisters erupted.

There was no way he'd order the Prednisolone then. He said it was far too dangerous as there was a possibility of the virus spreading to other areas in my body, maybe even affecting my brain, if he added cortisone to the picture.
