Hi, Yesterday I posted a very long description of what i have been going through, but i wanted to post something that a quicker read.
Since mid february by face has been loosing mobility. A little every day it seems like. I can't scrunch my eyebrows like I could, raising them feels strained and weak, my eyes look puffy and tired (muscle under eyebrow is sagging) my smile feels strained and weak, my lips and the tip of my tongue feel warm and tingly sometimes. I can even tell the muscle in the front of my chin is losing function. I can feel the stiffness in my face, I have twitching occasionally as well. I have been having other body wide issues, twitching, cramping, weakness. but nothing so progressive as whats happening to my face.
My question is, has anyone experienced facial paralysis that has taken such a lead on any other loss of function? Can/does/ has als ever progressed this way?
