My left side's kinda droopy as well. SallyC's not too far off with her Bells Palsy assessment though... when I was super super duper affected at one time by twitching on the right (everything pulling 'up') and numb on the left, the left DID look like Bells Palsy.

I was looked at by a neurologist at the time (pre-MS diagnosis) who didn't believe anything was amiss (Bells Palsy that is... he was completely ignorant to the MS but that's a whole other chapter lol).

Wouldn't it be nice if it went away?! Sigh... I can't imagine 25 years!
