Last night I never got comfortable. The pain behind my BP ear just led to tossing and turning and my eye felt dry and scratchy in its socket behind its patch.
This morning when I woke up my eye already felt not great - not the best sign. Then my commute took about twice the normal time (from 30 minutes normally to a full hour), which I think further irritated the eye (can't use drops in the car, can't always manually blink, light irritation, etc). At work I was in a meeting where I needed to watch a 2 hour powerpoint presentation, and the eye just poured tears. I kept trying drops, rubbing it, holding it closed, anything I could think of to get it to stop, but it just wouldn't. It felt kind of grainy - as if I had about 50 large dust particles under my upper lid - and nothing I could do was going to change that. I knew then that I was in for a rough day.
My goal quickly shifted to getting out of work asap and making up the time with a little work from home and some sick hours if necessary.
Unfortunately, when I got home I couldn't make a new eye patch with the tape because my skin was still irritated from the patch from the night before. So I just tried to relax with my hand over my eye. Tonight I'll have to go back with the old rolled gauze/underwear/pirate patch method to let my skin rest.
For most of this week I've felt really positive, but now I'm really starting to get down again. I have to call the neurologist's nurse tomorrow about getting FMLA paperwork filled out, so I think I'll ask if there are any additional ideas about pain management.

Castor oil is extremely helpful in the Bell’s Palsy Natural Treatment. It lessens swelling and recuperates the harmed nerve. It fortifies the facial muscles and builds their flexibility. Warm some castor oil in a skillet. Drench a meager cotton fabric into the oil and apply it to the face. Spread the pack with wool to trap the warmth.
I recently have some difficult conversations and I did what a lot of people do when they want to know how to do something. I googled it. I came across Dr Williams herbal medicine on blog-site so many people with Bell palsy and dystonia thanking him about his good work. I also have dystonia. I wasn’t running all over God’s creation with every man I could find but here I am. I have felt bad about myself for so many years now because of my dystonia status. I obviously still have some self-accepting to do but I want to thank Dr Williams for everything he have done for me,after taking Dr Williams medicine i was completely free from cervical dystonia within one month of usage, I think what you are doing is so admirable. you have helped me a lot! I want to definitely reach out to you and thank you for your amazing work. You are a good person, and an extremely talented man. You have helped millions with your herbs, and have really inspired me,and i pray you still continue doing the good work.you can also email him on drwilliams098675@gmail.com for help
