back in November of 2010, in fact, the 11th, i had an incredible severe pain, over my left ear, about the size of one's fist. it was so bad, i must have taken at least 10 Tylenols, that's the pain meds my doctors want me to take, due to high BP.
anyway, the pain did not stop.. a few hours later, (the next morning when i woke up), i was slurring my speech, and the left side of my face was going numb.
a few hours later, the left side of my face, drooped down.
a quick call to the doctor and a visit, he deemed it as "Bell's Palsy"....not a stroke.
but Bell's Palsy nearly mirrors a stroke, in the drooping face, slurred speech..
no known reason why one gets it. but what basically happens much like carpal tunnel..?? the nerves of the face go thru a "tunnel", on each side.....if that tunnel gets inflamed for whatever reason..?? it clamps shut in the facial nerves, on that side.
it lasted all of about till after January of 2011.
nearly 1 year later, in November 1, of 2011..??
the right side hit me.......same thing, same symptoms....only this time, i still have remnants of that episode.
both times, antibiotics were prescribed as well as some other med, i cannot recall.
right now, i am getting a massive pain on my left side....it is powerful. we just ate dinner, and i had to take my regular meds, so i cannot take anything just yet.
but i will be taking extra strength Excedrin. screw that Tylenol BS.
in the video, you can see the nerve around the ear area.......that's where this tunnel is and the headache hits hard.
imma gonna go watch tv, then about 6:30, that that Excedrin, hopefully this pain will go away.
funny to (in the rhetorical way), this only happens in cold weather like it has been all day, once the heat comes, this is not an issue, till winter comes....just not in deep winter, so this attack can vary during the cold season. usually a minor pain, and it goes away.
