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.

Kel,
Been there. Hated it. Rinse and spit was impossible when toothbrushing! I'd call the neuro. Even if it has happened before, it could still be something different. The first thing that comes to my mind is TIA/stroke, but if there's no other symptoms to go along with it, I'd call the neuro rather than my regular doc, because when your other symptoms are taken into consideration, it may be a flare...48 hours or more, call.

Thanks everyone....it seems to be better this morning. Sorry that I worried anyone....
I noticed it first when I woke up from a nap. Wondering if it had anything to do with me sleeping on my right side? Smooching my face into the pillow. Well, I made a conscious effort to sleep on my left side last night but when I woke up I was on my right side... I don't like to sleep with my back to the bedroom door.....monsters creeping in, ya know... I really don't think it was a TIA/stroke. That's what I thought the first time this happened - but this is not nearly as bad and I can still smile so I know that it's not paralyzed like it was before. And RW...I can still brush my teeth without making a complete mess!! So I think it's just residual nerve damage that acts up when I get tired or stressed. I promise I will call the Neuro if it gets any worse. I should take my own advice, huh? Ya'll are wonderful friends....thanks for all the encouraging words.

Kelly I am glad that it is better today. I am having a little numbness on my right cheek myself. It is affecting my tongue and speech. When I was first having sx in 04 they thought stroke but ruled it out. Just make sure if it does get worse that you call the doc right away. We don't want anything to happen to you.
I think when I get stressed it goes to my cheek too. That is when I know I have to take a deep breath and start to relax. Hard to do sometimes though.

OMG, Kelly! I just saw this thread . I had some problems with my right eye swelling and drooping last fall. I thought it was a reaction to Avonex. Maybe not because I went into a flare right afterward. I'm really worried about ya! Hugs are headed your way. Call me! Please.

I am glad you are doing somewhat better today. If it is still bothersome tomorrow or even later on today give the neuro a call.
