Re: not coping

Yeah i probbaly put to much hope on that appt, to many expectations maybe. I have another review in june but i think she was hoping that the things she told me to try at home mightve helped too @Anastasia
She gave me some intructions to try at home but i has an allergic reaction to the creams she told me to use and the medical centre dr i seen said to avoid them because most of the ingredients are similar in any other brands too. So now its taken that away too now. Its to painful to try it without numbing cream

Thanks @TideisTurning i know the helplines are there if i need them

Re: not coping

Not only does the symptoms of the damage but it also affects my speech as well ans it cant be fixed unless the nerve can be fixed because that's whats caused it. So much has changed for me now. Cant chew on the bad side now, its affected my whole face ans really only seems like half of it works now so i struggle to feel ok smiling even though i know i can but it feels weird and often causes pain. How sad is that 😭

Re: not coping

That sounds really tough. Suddenly not having an ability you've always had can be the hardest. Because you're used to it, but also because you really know the difference and what you're now missing. I hope there's a way they can find for you and things improve soon. 💙
