Update number 3

Welllllllll I see this site is growing and sadly this weird, and mysterious disorder is occuring in more and more people! :(

Anyway I was 95% back to my normal face when the unimagineable happened. I went to the dentist for some work and I told him about my BP that occurred and that I was worried about the novacaine perhaps making my nerve weak again or relapse. He reassured me that it should have NO effects on it. Two days later I had the worst dry eye and the tissues around and underneath my eye feels swollen, even though it doesn’t look it, I can feel it! The eye ticking is back and when I chew, I feel so strange as if the un-affected side has BP, instead of the effected side. I don’t understand this!

Anyway that occurred in January 2009 and it is now almost May. I just want to warn you about novacaine, if you’ve had/have BP. It could just be my bad luck or it can be something that relapses you. If it can be avoided, don’t use it, or consult with a neurologist about this before using the novacaine! I wish I had.

Keep hanging in there though! I got through it once, I’ll do it again. Just pisses me off after all my hard work, to have to do it again :)
