twitch.
My health has been questionable lately.
For about two months the entire right side of my face was numb, supposedly because of an infection in one of my teeth that was applying pressure to my nerve. That was taken care of and the numbness is gone, but now my face is just constantly twitching on that side. And I do mean constantly.
I called my doctor and she said it's probably the nerve healing, but if it doesn't stop after 3 weeks I should come in to see her.
It worries me, but it's also severely affected my self-esteem. Because of the twitching the right side of my face looks like it's being pulled up, so that side is all crooked, like so:
I've been really upset by this. I feel so ugly. I used to have a relatively symmetric face. My cheeks used to be smooth and now there's a crease on that side from the pulling. If I look into a mirror I start crying. This happened when I was just starting to feel okay with myself and now I feel hideous.
I'm also hoping that it is indeed the nerve healing and not something more serious.
