New Neuro Question
Today has been a pretty difficult day but I woke up and the right side of my face felt funny and was partially limp... I also had a migraine but only on the right side. My body temperature was pretty low (93.6). Could these symptoms be related to my MS?
Thank you for your response. That makes sense as I have had a chronic antibiotic resistant UTI for the past 8 weeks. I self catheter 100% of the time and I can't seem to shake this UTI and this was the fist time I have ever experienced these symptoms. Thank you so much! Have a fantastic evening!
It sounds like a seventh cranial nerve palsy which is unrelated to MS. Unknown etiology. Diabetics are prone to this, but it sometimes comes on after flu, infection or herpes. They usually get worse over two to four days, then stabilize, and remain that way for one to three months. Treatment is anti-inflamatories. Prednisone for starters (for a few days), then NSAIDS daily. It's goof to get the nerve swelling down ASAP because the nerve has a warm ischemic time.
