In Remembrance
|
Dear Kelly, I had a case of Bells Palzy a few years ago. It was brought on by...what else...anxiety and stress..my biggest trigger. Facial numbness was my very first symptom of the lousy disease, years before my actual DX.
I hate to bring this up, but, please have the tests for a small Stroke/TIA. It is always a possibility and shouldn't be dismissed. Call your Neuro, ASAP, and tell him/her your concerns.....er.....my concerns..  Thinking of You..

Hi Kell~ I too, think a call to your Neuro is in order. Why second guess, right?
Please keep us updated CUZ, you are special.

I vote you call the neuro. There is a young person at work who had Bells Palsy just before her wedding. The wedding went on, her face is a little better, and she had a couple of children.
I hope this is just an MSy thing and something that will clear up. I understand your concern. |

Aaacccckkkkk! I'm so sorry to hear about your face.
 And it's such a cute one, too, judging by your avatar.  Cherie posted about facial massage -- maybe that is something you could try. I hope it doesn't hurt, tho. Sending hugs and prayers for a speedy recovery, Kelly.

Hi Kelly,
Sorry about the facial weakness! I just wanted to let you know that I've had it before and sometimes it was really bad, so that I was biting my tongue a lot, slurring my words, etc... but it has completely recovered! There is hope, my dear! This might just be a passing thing.

Gosh Kell, you poor thing! I've been there too, some years ago.
It was never decided whether my bell's Palsy was MS related or due to the recent shingles I'd had on my face, but needless to say the effects were just the same. So far it's not recurred for me, but I do remember the droopy face, the slurring of my words and the uncontrolled dribbling out of one side of my face. Not a good look, I can assure you. Sending you lots of healing blessings Kelly, and I hope this soon passes.
