BELLS PALSY! please 4give me, I am going to give a lot of dates but I want to provide an accurate timeline?
Tuesday May 27 I was diagnosed with Pharyngitis after I presented with a sore throat with a huge lump on my left side under my jaw bone. At the time I also had blurred vision in my right eye, left arm and facial twitches, and numbness of my tongue after talking for awhile. I was prescribed Azithromyacin, and told that the lump was “probably” pressing a facial nerve. About 3 days after taking the antibiotics, the left side of my tongue lost it’s sense of taste. Monday, 9 June, I woke up feeling like someone had punched me in my left eye, throbbing really bad. When I put on sunglasses it was a little better. 11 June my left eye burned all morning so again with the sunglasses. That afternoon I went into the bathroom to look at my eye to see if it was pink and that is when I noticed that it was not closing. This was the same day that I noticed I couldnt hold air in my cheeks or whistle or hold water in my mouth when I rinsed. Is this Bells Palsy or could it be something else?
Bells Palsy is only a guess for me because my aunt had it years and years ago. The docs never diagnosed me with it they said I had pharyngitis and an inner ear infection so they were no help but they were only er docs so…
