I have symptoms that began with tingling across my face, then tight skull, then right ear and right gland in neck pain, then my right side face drooped
it also fall in the middle, sags down and my lips feel numb or bottom lip swells
then it went around back of my skull and started drooping the left side of my fcae
left side of face has indentations from drooping now, under my left eye pulls or twitches
i have hot and cold sensations across right top of my skull
my facial skin feels swollen but does not look it or it feels numbed
my vision get dim and my hearing get bad, i get over sensative to noise and light

Sound familiar to anyone? Let me know...thanks

Hi,

Yes, I have more or less all those symptoms as you described. Actually, I have been diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy, yesterday, for the first time in my life.

I am 69 year old married man with three grown up children. I just got over my recent vertigos, which lasted only a few weeks, last month. I was not diagnosed with vertigos by any doctor, but those are what I thought and still think, were my last ailments then. As well as that, I had pain on my right foot. I thought it was due because of arthritis, which I had in the past, but not always in the same place. Thus I treated my right foot by soaking in hot salty water for about a half an hour each time, for about ten days. At the moment the pain is gone.

So here I am now with Bell’s Palsy, as you described you have. However, what bother me most of all is the sharp pain on the right side of my head but not always in the same place. The centre of this intermittent pain is my right ear. I have to take pain killer tablets for this in order to sleep at night, as well as taking prescribe drugs, like steroids etc.
