Doodle,

I have been following your posts for a few months now, but rarely post. Please know that there is at least one person out here knowing how you feel and cheering you on.

I have the numbness over the right side of my face after balloon compression in May. While THE pain is gone, the needles, numbness, pressure, just general discomfort lives on. I always have sores in my mouth from biting either my tongue, or lips, or cheeks; It is annoying to lie on that side on my pillow; My ear inermittently loses hearing.....etc., etc., etc....

We CAN live through it, with it, around it, but we CAN'T do it alone....know that you aren't alone.
