Seriously I can't! I started with a migraine that lasted over a week. Ended with 2 trips to the ER. Couldn't work and was so dehydrated from the constant throwing up. Then my ears plugged. Both of them. It's like I'm in a damn tin can. Saw the doctor thinking I had ear infections. Nope just fluid behind my ears. GREAT. Then on Tuesday my face started feeling weird. Just the left side. My DD noticed my eye not closing when I blinked. I freaked thinking I was having a damn stroke. Nope. Just a case of Bell's palsy. Wonderful. Steroids and antiviral meds. Not much else they can do for it. I leave for TN on a camping trip in 2 weeks and half my face doesn't work. I could cry. Hell I did cry. I'm done. No more. I could use some good vibes. ***** Thought I'd offer an update: my Bell's palsy is much better and is hardly noticeable now. Still some lagging in my left eye but not near what it was. I've been headache free for 2 weeks. Woohoo. Been going to the chiro a couple times a week and that's helped greatly. My ears are better. Still slightly plugged, but so much better. We leave in a week for a camping trip in TN and I can't wait. I wasn't sure if I was going to go. Since I'm feeling so much better I'm going. I need a week of fun and laughter and relaxing. We are going with my favorite cousin and his wife so I know it's gonna be a blast. Can't wait  |

I'm sorry- it sounds wretched! I hope you find relief soon!
(And that your Bell's Palsy paralysis goes away quickly! It happened to both my mom and my Great Grandmother.)

Dang, it's a perfect storm of crappiness.
Can you just step back from everything and chill for a few days, try to totally relax and let someone else handle things?

I hope you feel better soon. I bet camping and being outside will be restorative.

My DH is a scout master and their troop has a camp out. My DS has to work. So my DD and I are going to have a fun girls weekend. Going to the big farmers market in the downtown area, then pedicures and maybe see a movie |

You have had a craptastic time of it! I hope that you're feeling better soon. I have heard that physical therapy can help the Bell's. Hope it disappears soon!

Oh no- I sure hope you have the short version of Bell's palsy. I had it 20 years ago- the long lasting one. Crazy pain in my neck and terrible headache- then half of my face went numb. I feel your pain- hope you get well soon! Just rest.

I am SO sorry! Migraine pain is the worst. I have gone to the ER for it before which is a nightmare in and of itself. I hope you heal quickly so you can enjoy your camping trip.
