Looking for help from neurologists

Quoted message said:

I got a stroke about 10 days ago. The symptom was a partial loss of
speech, but nothing else. I didn't go to a hospital until about 36
hours after. When hospitalized, the doctor asked me to take 2 pills
of a medicine. My blood pressure dropped radically. But I suddently
was feeling great numbness on the left side of my body. The right
side was numb, too, but soon OK. Numbness on my right side has
stayed. I have been suffering a lot from it.

You should investigate getting acupuncture for your recovery. I don't have any
studies handy, but I believe it is worth your time to look into it.

Anecdotes are basically worthless, but I do know people who have been treated
for stroke, Bels Palsy, and paralysis. Email me if you'd like a bit more info.

Bels Palsy

Bell's Palsy is a self limiting condition and is related to
Herpes Simplex Virus infection.

Antivirals can shorten the duration of symptoms.

Some people are completely clueless spreading misinformation.

http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/Hardin/md/bellspalsy.html

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

Bell's palsy is an acute form of cranial mononeuropathy VII, and it is the most
common form of this type of nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy). Statistics
indicate that the disorder affects approximately 2 in 10,000 people. However,
the actual incidence is likely to be much higher (around 1 in 500 to 1 in
1,000).

The disorder is a mononeuropathy (involvement of a single nerve) that damages
the seventh cranial (facial) nerve, the nerve that controls movement of the
muscles of the face. The cause is often not clear, although herpes infections
may be involved.

The disorder is presumed to be associated with inflammation of the facial nerve
where it travels through the bones of the skull. It may also be caused by head
injury, tumor, hypertension, sarcoidosis, Lyme disease, or infarction (tissue
death) of the nerve

This NEW situation has come about SINCE Aspatame entered the market

I suffered from Bel's Palsy for a period of approx 3 months and it
"cleared" of it's own volition gradually over the last 4 days. Up until
then it remained constant in it's severity, one side of my face being
practically paralysed and I was forced to wear an eye patch throughout
the duration.

Its cause I believe to purely chance. I bit into an apple just as I
twisted my head round to answer someone calling me. I experienced a very
sharp pain in the back of my kneck slightly to the right, and below the
level of the bottom of my right ear. My jaw also locked temporarily and
it was extremely painful to "extract" myself off the apple. I suffered a
dull ache in my face and neck throughout the remainder of the day and
awoke the following day with facial paralysis. I have no doubt that it
was caused by the biting on the apple, probably from a pulled and
swollen muscle pressing on a nerve.

That is very likely. Trauma to the VII nerve trunk.

Do you have any ruptured disks in your neck ?
Bell's Palsy almost always spontaneously disappears.

There is a component with Herpes Simplex Virus
in many cases. Antivirals can shorten the duration
of symptoms in this situation.

<snip "debate" on causes> :-)

I suffered from Bel's Palsy for a period of approx 3 months and it
"cleared" of it's own volition gradually over the last 4 days. Up
until
then it remained constant in it's severity, one side of my face being
practically paralysed and I was forced to wear an eye patch
throughout
the duration.

Its cause I believe to purely chance. I bit into an apple just as I
twisted my head round to answer someone calling me. I experienced a
very sharp pain in the back of my kneck slightly to the right, and
below the level of the bottom of my right ear. My jaw also locked
temporarily and
it was extremely painful to "extract" myself off the apple. I
suffered a dull ache in my face and neck throughout the remainder of
the day and
awoke the following day with facial paralysis. I have no doubt that
it
was caused by the biting on the apple, probably from a pulled and
swollen muscle pressing on a nerve.

That is very likely. Trauma to the VII nerve trunk.

Do you have any ruptured disks in your neck ?

Not that I know of, though I do suffer from frequently "putting my back
out" if I simply turn or bend the wrong way. My GP, on seeing my x rays,
said that it was due to "normal wear and tear" although he did say, "it
looks like you've had a tough life" :-)
I am not too satisfied with the explanation.

Bell's Palsy almost always spontaneously disappears.

My GP told me that, when he dx'd, although he said that in some cases it
takes years.

Quoted message said:

There is a component with Herpes Simplex Virus
in many cases. Antivirals can shorten the duration
of symptoms in this situation.

He didn't medicate me.

I got a stroke about 10 days ago. The symptom was a partial loss of
speech, but nothing else. I didn't go to a hospital until about 36
hours after. When hospitalized, the doctor asked me to take 2 pills
of a medicine. My blood pressure dropped radically. But I suddently
was feeling great numbness on the left side of my body. The right
side was numb, too, but soon OK. Numbness on my right side has
stayed. I have been suffering a lot from it.

A neurologist told me that the numbness came from blood pressure being
dropped too fast. In other words, if not dropped that fast, the
numbness would not have happened. Is this the cause? Thanks for
information.

Then you may want to have further tests done.
MRI and CT scans.
Consult with a neuro-surgeon.

Weeks to months is more common, but yes, sometimes years.

Probably wouldn't have helped in your case, but
it would have been worth a try.
