Thanks ever so much for all the good thoughts and the reassurances my fellow AR15.comers.
My appointment with the neurologist is this Thursday, but after a phone call with my doctor today to go over my symptoms again we are pretty darn sure it's Bells Palsy and not something else severe. I'm on meds now, Prednisone a cordicosteroid and Acyclovir an antiviral.
The symptoms came on very suddenly, I was fine all day and later in the evening I made a mess of myself drinking from my water bottle, not once but twice. When I was cleaning myself up I noticed in the mirror that my mouth looked weird. The entire next day at work before my doctors appointment I was paranoid as could be watching for severe symptoms that might make me think I had a stroke or something, loss of coordination, etc.
So I wasn't drunk at the gunshow on Saturday guys, it's the condition that makes me slur some words!
I'm hoping for some weight loss from this too. On Saturday it took me 45 minutes to eat what I would normally scarf down in 15.
OMG a possible side affect of the Prednisone is a chnage in my menstrual period! Holy crap batman, that would be a SEVERE side affect!
I wonder if getting whacked in the head by the scope on my 300win mag would be good therapy for this?
