Almost sounds like Bells Palsy. I had a episode of it back in 2005 right after I was dx.....but the neuro I was seeing then said it wasn't associated with MS. I think it was. Anyway, I lost tone in the right side of my face and I can still notice it today. Others might not notice it but I do. It's only in the lower part of my face. Are you able to blink normally? I'd check with the doctor just to be on the safe side.

Yep Bells Palsy!! The Doc said it would run it's course..no meds. Do some facial exercises to strengthen those droopy muscles. I had it about 5 yrs ago and it left no permanent effects, but I sure did look funny for awhile.

I hope you are better soon.

No advice, just a silly note. Years ago when I was a kid, my father had Bells Palsy and his one eye wouldn't close all the way. Thinking it was really weird, I used to bring in all my little friends to see it. Poor guy...

I do hope yours clears up soon.

Thank you Sally for this advice. Do you know a website for such exercises?
(Miss being here more.)
