Went to the doc today due to a swollen/loss of some sensation on left jaw and cheek. Started in jaw muscle under side burns and worked its way down behind ear and jaw as well as my whole cheek. Its not particularly painful but it is certainly uncomfortable and starting to apply pressure on throat and eardrum. Docs aren't sure of the cause. Hoping it is just a deep tissue infection around the jaw muscle (there is no signs of anything inside my mouth) so they have me on hard core antibiotics. They are having me come back in on Friday to see if there is a positive response. If no notable improvement they'll test/start treating me for bells palsy (sp?)
I'm not particularly worried at the moment, but please be praying that it is not the latter of the possible diagnosis, and that the antibiotics clear it up.

It's me Giorgianni. Let me know if you need any help with this (bells palsy). I don't know if you remember but my Father is a Doc, and knows a lot of people around the world in a lot of medical fields. If you can't get any good info let me know and I will have my Father look in to it or I can give you his e-mail address.
