Bell's Palsy My trip to the vet... doctor
15 years ago
Way to get a header!
Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but might as well start from the top.
Last Friday, I got up, and my eye felt like I had a good sized stick in it. After picking, and looking in the mirror, nothing, I then proceeded to get a bad migraine behind that eye (left side) After this last for two days, I laid down to nap before work. When I got up, I was fine, but as I talked, I noticed my mouth felt like it was pulling on the right side, and when I got into work, it went away, but I could feel it off and on all night, along with the Migraine. Last night, it was worse, the whole left side of my face was unresponsive, and basically paralyzed. I freaked, and called my mate, and tried to figure out if I was getting a stroke, or had had one and now was paralyzed in the face. Well, It was no stroke, since I had no other Symptoms for one. I went to the Hospital, and got blood done, CT scanned, and tested every which way.
I got Bell's Palsy, and have to take about $200.00 worth of meds for the week, one pill being like the size of the quarter machine plastic capsules. I should be ok, they say that it's rare that it has any lasting effect, and rarer that my left size will remain paralyzed. I should be ok, but I'll be out of week for a couple days. Luckily, my week is almost done. Till then, I need to take those pills daily, some three times a day, and keep my bum eye watered with some faux tears, and be Gel'n at night when I sleep with an Eye patch.
sucks, cause my crappy ass insurance didn't help with the pills, and not sure what they'll cover on the hospital visit, (not sre wha tI pay those morons for) so looks like my money situation, which was already tight, has gone from clenched fist, to monkey wrench. Comcast, + Car repair + normal living stuff + hospital bill = cluster fuck.

Said that it's temporary, and with the meds, I should be back to normal in a week. They say it can take days to months for full recovery. So right now, I'm doing a kill impersonation of both a Pirate, and Two Face from Batman.
