Suggest Remedy For Eye Problem
Hi! I am a 49 yr old male, 5'4" and weigh 177 lbs.
Yesterday, I went to an eye doctor to get a new pair of glasses. The eye doctor noticed that my right eye was smaller than my left eye. He got excited and told me that another patient had the same thing and in a year developed Bells Palsy, facial paralysis. He said that he wish he had taken a photo of that patient. So he did not want to miss out this time and took a photo of my eyes, so he can prove his theory. He did not really explain anything to me or advise me to see a doctor. On my own I researched Bells Palsy and made an appointment with my regular doctor for my piece of mind. So I will be seeing my regular doctor on June 7, 2011. But it is very difficult for me to concentrate on daily activities now without wondering constantly when will my facial paralysis happen.
