Could I have Facial Neuropathy?

March 25, 2007

Does anyone else on this board have this dx?

I have been suffering for 4-5 years and its getting worse.

I have been to numerous neurologists none of whom can help me.

I have so many neurological symtoms. Numbness, burning, electrical

zaps, wet sensation, and so many more awful painful sensations.

I live with constant pain.

The last 2 neuro doc`s said its muscles that are bothering me

because an mri of my cervial spine showed some degenerative disks,

so they think it must be some arthritis in my neck causing me to

have pain in my face. My neck isn`t even bothering me! Help! I need

some validation and some help.

I think these jerks don`t buy into this because in order to have

neuropathy you have to have been damaged by something, like surgery,

or toxins, and we all know that they don`t believe that mold is

harmful.

They have however found calcification on the nerve in my left eye

but they just blew that off.

I can`t imagine having to live the rest of my life with this.

You may want to look at the following website:

It is the Hemifacial Spasm Association.

On the left side of the page, click on " information pamphlet. " You

may also want to search the website to see if any of your symptoms are

symptoms of hemifacial spams. I had those a few years back - the

neurologists told me it was from an artery inside my head touching a

facial nerve. Looking back, I'm wondering if the spasms were another

symptom from exposure to toxic mold.
