kind of random... ITCHING?
« on: August 06, 2007, 01:47:06 pm »
So I continue to have temp paralysis on my left side, which I'm told will last awhile.  I've began to get sensations of itching now on my head and face... no bites or anything.  Scratching only sort of helps.  Anyone?  It's weird!

Lori:

I'm not a doctor so this is simply speculation but I would suspect that the itching you feel is an indication of your facial nerves healing. 

I hope I'm right.   :)

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.
