I had quite a big scare and went to the Emergency Room yesterday because of it. The left side of my face was teary eyed and causing muscle spasms at random over the past few days. On Saturday night I noticed that it was extremely difficult for me to close my left eye, but I had passed it off as a strange allergic reaction since I get those a lot in the summer from my cat shedding or other outdoor things. Usually things like that go away in a few hours. I went to sleep and woke up feeling slightly better, but became extremely concerning when I looked in the mirror to find that the left side of my face was looking very awful. After looking into symptoms online, a lot of things came up such as hemifacial spasms, warnings of a stroke and possibly even a brain tumor.
After visiting the ER, they took a CAT scan of me and diagnosed me with a strange case of something called Bell's Palsy. Supposedly, it's like chicken pox and can randomly happen to adults without much of any reason at all. Like chicken pox, it should heal itself over time, however, the doctor said that it's a weird case because not all of the symptoms made sense. Hopefully nothing bad comes of it and I'm alright soon, but I'm still very worried because of what he told me. I've been put on meds for the next week that should help with symptoms, and I will be taking things slowly until then. I am optimistic that things will start to get better soon and just wanted to update you all on what's been going on. I hope you're all healthy and doing okay because I never want any of you to have to deal with something like this. I'd greatly appreciate your love and prayers during this time ❤️
