Clinical narrative: So April 23rd during the day I felt a weird numbness in my tongue on the right side. I thought that maybe I burned it or bit it or something similar.  Then I went to work that night because I worked over nights(it was a very stressful night).  About halfway through the night into the early morning may be about 3:00 a.m. I started to feel we are numbness on the right side of my face I cannot just chalked it up to stress. When I left in the morning if I like it wasn't really moving right, just felt a little off. It was about 7:00 a.m. At this point I still thought I was just overly stressed I told my husband when I got home and just tried to lay down to relax. I had had  a slight ear ache for about 3 days but at this point it became more uncomfortable than it had been and my face felt like It was getting worse and it really started to worry me. So I decided to go to the walk in at Medical group. I saw the nurse practitioner.  At this point my face wasn't doing everything it was supposed to be doing but it wasn't fully numb yet. She said it could be due to an ear infection so she checked my ears but she said that it was weird because it was just slightly red. She wanted to transfer me over to the emergency Room is so that I could get a cat scan done. The doctor at the ER said that she wouldn't do a cat scan at this point she would just treat the ear infection so there was no point in moving me over to the ER. So the nurse practitioner prescribed a couple different medications and suggested that I follow up as soon as possible with my primary. Throughout the rest the day on April 24th ,when I saw the nurse practitioner, my face got progressively worse and wasn't moving very much closer to the end of the night. By the next day my right side of my face was not moving at all and that was April 25th. April 26th As soon as possible in the morning I called my primary care doctor and they got me in immediately to see her. She was unsure it was due to the ear infection and wanted to get more tests done to make sure that something else wasn't causing it and it could get worse. In at this point there was pain slightly so I  had taken some time off from work to get the test done.   The tests were an MRI scan and some blood work.  Then I had a follow up appointment with her right after. With in a couple days after first seeing my primary I had so much pain that I couldn't even get out of bed. It hurt to even slightly touch that side of my face or neck.  They said with it being nerve pain there wasn't much that they could give me or do to get that would help it go away. I ended up having about 2 weeks off from work before I went back not sure if I was fully ready with of the pain that I was having in my face still was not working but I could not afford not to. All the medication and everything that I was on during  the 1st 2 weeks had caused my palpitations to act up so I ended up having to get more tests on top of it to make sure that it was not negatively affecting my heart.  It's been over 2 months closer to almost 3 months and my face is now slightly working not all the way though but it is getting there. so not fully recovered. and having to watch my heart rate and thyroid levels (since i had been having good levels for two years she was worried it would make it act up or  cause a problem with the nodules i have on thyroid. ) hopefully I haven't missed any information. Just hoping there is no perminent damage or side effects and that after some more time it fully goes away.
