Day 7 -- yesterday was THE WORST

Yesterday was definitely the worst day I've experienced thus far. My face felt super stiff and in pain.
I woke up at 5am today due to the feeling of my head being shot off. Luckily, the uncomfortableness subsided pretty quickly. I'll be done with my anti-viral medication today and am halfway done with the steroids (6 days left).

I haven't been able to exercise, work or play since this all started; I'm losing my mind. I feel like a golden retriever who's been locked up indoors for a week straight and is starting to have behavior issues. I was "roid-raging" hard yesterday. I felt like I could've killed someone. I prayed A LOT for that not to happen. I guess I'm still roid-raging because I feel like punching the bird chirping outside my window right now.
Anyway, no recovery has happened yet. My cheek feels really stiff.

I've been eating B-12 vitamins like there's no tomorrow. DELICIOUS.

I found a bunch of people on Twitter who are experiencing Bell's Palsy. It really cool to be able to talk to people who are going through such a weird thing at the same time I am!



UPDATE 9PM: My face is starting to move again! I can crack a slight smile on the left side of my mouth! KEEP IT UP, LIPS. My eye is really crappy though. I had to keep it taped the majority of the day :-\
