I've had AD since 1988 as a result of the "Shingles" virus that damaged my facial nerve. I have total numbness over the entire right side of my face with the crawling sensations and sometimes the numbness becomes extremly tight ( like a vice on my face). I have tried all the meds with no sucess. It's like being tortured 24/7. Thank God that I have no pain so at least I can work. Has anyone here had any sucess with treating AD?
