Okay...I've learned my lesson. A few weeks ago I refused to go to the doctor when I was sick. It was the end of the fiscal year for my company, so I didn't want to miss work. It turns out I had an ear infection, and because I didn't take antibiotics the fluid leaked to my nervous system. Now, I have partial paralysis in my face and jaw. Hopefully, the antibiotics I am not taking will fix that.
Always go to the doctor

Ear infections are no joke, I used to get them at least once a year. Would wait till I couldn't take the pain anymore before I would try and find old prescriptions or actually go to the doctor. Found out most of the times it was caused by allergies, took many years and a really good doctor to find that out. Hopefully those antibiotics help out once taken. haha
Sorry to hear, but glad you are now under a doc's care :thumbsup:
I think we all kinda tend to avoid the doctor because it's inconvenient or whatever else, but soooooo important to keep in good health and nip potential problems in the bud.

Ugh. I hate that. I've been plagued by allergy induced sinus and ear infections as long as I can remember learned long ago the value of a good 'cillan or Z-Pack. Follow the docs orders, take them all, and Get well soon!
hope the meds work quickly.
Get Better soon. I am one that waits to long. Not since my near death experience in 2011. Even then it took 3 days before I would seek help. At that point I couldn't hold food down or water. I couldn't sleep I was in such pain. The doctor that did the 6 hours surgery on me said another day I would most likely been added to the 2% of Autopsy cases. He said he hadn't ever seen a living case in his time. Told everyone in the room to get a good look it will most likely be the last time they would ever see it. After being in the hospital for a week and then a month at home before I even felt like smoking a Cigar or Pipe again lol. First thing I did was lit up a P45 for my son and I. Funny thing is my son was like there dad now we have a reason to smoke them. I was very proud that he didn't smoke anything other then our daily go to and a couple of the P4000 that were bought for him while I was in the Hospital so he was right Great time for a great Cigar...
Get well soon. Just make sure your better before lighting up a Recovery stick. You will enjoy it that much more.

Fuck! Sorry to hear dude.. Hope those mens get you right.
This week I found out I have Bell's Palsy. Apparently, when I didn't treat my ear infection with antibiotics my immune system more than likely was severely weakened. With a weakened immune system I apparently caught a virus that attacked my nervous system, which caused the Bell's Palsy. Doctor thinks everything should be fine in a month. The silver lining in this is that it has caused me to take my health more seriously, and I am starting a diet and exercise regimen.

Good idea. Glad things are on the uptick.
Unfortunately, I still can't really smoke a cigar. I can't draw well, and when I tried to smoke a cigar it tasted awful due to my condition.
I've had bells on both sides of my face. The right side was last and never really healed all the way. I smoke cigars on the right side but pipes on the left. I'm back maybe 75% and it's been 15 years. Left side healed fine. Was 5 years prior to the right.
