by: Dana
on Fri, Apr 25 2008
I woke up last Saturday morning to notice that I had no movement in the right side of my face. I was terrified that I was having a stroke I woke my husband up and off we went to the ER. I was taken stright back and told that I had Bells Palsy I have had a pain behind the ear, dryness in my right eye and I am very tired. I haven’t heard anyone mention being tired. Has anyone been affected in this way, or is it just me.
