Guest guest Posted October 24, 2002 Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 Vera and Ginger Ralph had the awful grimace that went with the facial spasms. Some times it was so bad the younger grand children were afraid of him. Fortunately it was not a constant thing. His was on the left side which was also the side of his blind eye. I never did figure out what made it come and go. Now that I think about it, it seemed to be the worst when his neck was hurting from the forward drop of his head. His head was so heavy and neck so rigid, I could hardly move it. It made us both cry when I tried. It hurt so badly. Just moving his head on the pillow hurt. This awful stuff does such awful things to our loved ones. Sleep well both of you. Barb -- " Love may be priceless, but it demands a huge expenditure of time.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2002 Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 Barb: Fred also has some awful grimace to his facial spasms at times. It's so strange how they can come and go. Sometimes he'll have a whole day that his face if fine and another where it's really bad. So many puzzle's to this illness before you have the big picture, isn't there?
