i was diagnosed with bells palsy today
i'd been feeling dizzy and have had the left side of my face start to go numb around 1 pm on wednesday
i thought it was no biggie, so i went to burger lounge with steven and had a good time
so he brought me back home and i was telling my tia beba about how i was dizzy, my face feels numb and i can't really feel it, i could hardly move the left side of my face
in the morning my mom asked if i felt better, i said no, so she made a doctor's appointment
11 am, i'm in the doctor's office, she checks me out and tells me that due to some viral infection a nerve in my ear that is responsible for my facial movements is inflamed
she perscribed two medications
one is a steroid to help me regain movement in my face again
the other is an anti-viral medication
both to be taken orally, the steroid once a day, the anti-viral to be taken 3 times(one after each meal)
went to lunch with my mom afterwards and had the hardest time eating because it was hard to open my mouth and bite my food, then everytime i would take a drink it would leak out of the left side of my face
i became frustrated and stopped eating
then began telling everyone what was wrong with me, mainly via text
this would happen to me the day before halloween
right when i recover from my depression another downer sucks me back down
my life is in a terrible place
the only thing that seems to be going right for me is i've learned to take things slow by getting to know someone as we both kinda crush on each other, obviously nothing serious yet
the bells palsy doesn't bother him, he's taking me to get ice-cream tomorrow
on that note, i think it bothers me that there's other guys that like me when i'm crushing on someone, i dunno, whatever, i'm done being boy crazy
i'm so fucking angry right now, i fucking hate that this would happen to me
fuck you bells palsy, i hate you
why can't i just get the flu like a normal person?
