quick question - repost
« on: May 14, 2014, 04:31:09 am »
He is, as of this past saturday, 5 months post-op.
He had done really, really well with the balance issues. I've been super proud of him.
He did ask me yesterday to come here and see if anyone has experienced this before:
He has left side facial paralysis. We are hoping and praying it comes back. Right now he can feel some tingling (like it has been asleep). Several times in the last week his face will get to tingling or feeling funny and then he gets really dizzy for a moment. He is wanting to know if the two are combined by chance? I wouldn't see as it would be but I'm not a professional...lol.
Has anyone experienced the dizziness with the facial nerve recovery before?

I had lots of the crawly skin feelings but never dizziness. It may be connected to his balance issues.

I had tingling right from the beginning and also dizziness. I thought they might be connected also but as time went on the dizziness got better but the numbness never went away :(
