My neck started hurting Thursday. I was using my massage gun to loosen up my neck. I booked a massage for my neck as well. After I got the shot on Saturday, I noticed an hour later my tongue was feeling weird. I thought I was allergic to shrimp. I called my 24- hour nurse line. She said I was fine but to call a doctor in the next few days. I went to bed just fine. It felt like half my tongue and lip felt different than the other half.  I went to dinner which was interesting because my mouth wasn't really responding right. I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and notices the left half of my face wasn't responding. I didn't know if I was having a stroke or not. I went to urgent care where they brought me back immediately. They suspected Bell's Palsy. They called 911. They EMT's took my blood sugar and it was fine.  At the ER they did some physical tests and did not think it was a stroke either. They did blood work and imaging as well.  After all the tests, they concluded it was Bell's Palsy as well.  They gave me one dose of Prednisone that night and sent me with prescriptions for Prednisone and Valacyclovir. I still have less control over one side of my face but I am doing fine. It is not all the way numb. They said it was a very mild case. The left half of my body is warmer than the other half.
