Strokes will spare the forehead, unlike Bell's palsy.

able bodied mfs when realizing their adhd or whateva isnt the same as having half your face paralyzed and being blind in one eye and you cant become paralyzed because of adhd.

I was wondering how do you know if you have Bell’s Palsy or a stroke?

I had to go to the ER earlier this year for it and I want to avoid going to the ER again if it happens again.

Or should you go to the hospital anyway?

I’m so sorry…I’m genuinely curious because it was scary last time.

Yup! The quick n dirty method is this: have the person raise their eyebrows. In a stroke, they’ll (usually) be able to on both sides, in Bell’s palsy, they’ll only be able to on one side.

Bell’s palsy is an injury to the facial nerve (cranial nerve 7). Signals can’t get through, so one side of the face is paralyzed. But only the face- The person will NOT have difficulty walking or putting their arms out straight in front of them, but can sometimes have an increased sensitivity to sound or loss of taste. Bell’s palsy symptoms usually come on over hours or days.

A stroke meanwhile is a brain injury, so there are a LOT more symptoms. If there’s any combination of weakness or numbness to one side of the body, slurred speech, inability to understand or express language, confusion, double vision, difficulty walking, or vertigo- that is most likely a stroke. Stroke symptoms also come on very quickly- in the seconds-minutes range.

Unfortunately, I don’t give out medical advice on the Internet, so I would definitely ask your doctor if it happens again whether they want to schedule you or tell you to go to the ED.

Hey all 👋 haven't been around much.

I was on vacation (tootling around with my in laws and just spending time with the fam).

Then I had a migraine. Then I had hand, foot and mouth which turned into a nasty oral infection.

Now I have Bells Palsy and no control over the left side of my face. The twitching of my left is driving me nuts so I tape it closed and I have to sleep like that anyway. It's also hard to talk, eat, drink, take my stupidity high dose of steroids.

I've also been dealing with my mum's worsening dementia. She's started to wander and thinks it's around 1990 so I'm in touch with different agencies dealing with that so my sister can concentrate on getting her nursing degree (you'll kick ass Barney!).

I hate this. I hate how much my health affects every part of my life, including the shop. All orders are out, a little late but they're out.

I still plan on having my stall at @carmarthenpride and I am still working on a queer space for Aberystwyth (check @queerlittlespace for more info).

I have some new badges to show you and I'm drawing a seahorse atm for all the seahorse dads.

Much love, Ren

I think I picked this up through searching on the statistic for shingles. I already am aware of the nerve damage caused by Omicron covid variant, but I don’t know if this is directly caused by the covid itself or a form of bacterial meningitis when the body has septic patches from inability to remove damaged tissue compromised by infection. I theorize the capillary veins suffer the greatest to the covid disease, due to low surface area as compared to major arteries - which makes covid very dangerous, and may be what causes ischemic strokes in some (yes, even with mild covid symptoms).

btw, covid has other symptoms that have been yet to recognized or I have failed finding evidence of reporting. These symptoms are onset as early as a week or two weeks into infection.

A term I found in another medical document labeled the vast population of humans suffer to covid, due to immunological naivety -  Having an immune system that has never been exposed to a specific antigen.

This can be a portion of explanation to the cytokine storms individuals suffer (in covid crash), and to how the virus spreads so swiftly without a valid immune response - which preludes to the cytokine storm. I explain cytokine storms as a situation where teh virus replicates out of control over a period of time, maybe a month, without an immune response being mounted. When the immune system recognizes the threat, it basically fucks over the infected individual because so much of the virus has already infiltrated cells, wherein the immune system latches an aggressive and out of control assault on anything that is sus. This causes the uncontrolled autoimmune dysfunctions, and just really carves out the vascular system of those with a deep and expansive infection - because covid infiltrates endothelial cells, or inner vascular tissue. But that is my theory, and I haven’t checked to verify if this information has been updated. This is the general behavior of the cytokine storm.

As well, silent hypoxia. In the majority of those with covid, it does not become a pneumonia complication - it can infect the lung tissue, i.e, the capillaries there, but in the vast majority individuals infected with covid do not always have it nested in their lungs. It. Is. In. The. Vascular. Tissue. Which is does a lot of damage to that person, and in some cases can lead them to going to sleep due to fatigue and then never waking up. This is a complication that affects those with general pneumonia of the bacterial or viral variety, affecting 5%. That’s the fatality rate, anyway.

The immunological naivety in the human population may explain the vast damage covid causes to those who contract it - vaxxinated or unvaxxinated. Even those vaxxed for covid can still contract it, depending on genetics, medical history, and health. Some individuals may not develop viable antibodies essential for combating covid - there are those who are in the shit category of being unable to develop antibodies for chicken pox or measles, even with vaccination (though they are a rarity). In immunological naivety may be the cause for adverse reactions to covid, due to the bodies inexperience in attacking viral cells and maintaining homeostasis. But more important, there is no cure for these pathogens, there is only prevention and mitigation (following an infection). It is up to the immune system of the individual to address the issue, and produce memory cells which well recognize the threat.

As well, all of this is speculation. I read the publications, I listen to the doctors, and I spit out the simplest understanding manageable. If you have legit questions, talk to a certified specialist - (a legit doctors, one who understands vaccines and vaers). If the doctor tells you, “ItS JuSt A FlU.” Fucking get a second opinion. Doctors and medical professionals are still human, and sometimes they are shit stupid humans with certification.

Back to topic. The immunological naivety could be a key factor in the severity of covid symptoms for some, and the aggressive overreaction of the body to a viral pathogen. What makes covid so deadly is how illusive it is in the body, and the inability to recognize the early onset of a present threat. So the long covid survivors can be a result of the body losing its damn mind in the presence of this infection - not that covid on its own is any less problematic. But similarities can be reviewed in rabies symptoms and the bodies reaction to it - rabies gets into the nerves, and the body just kills them to remove that infection - the whole event is counterproductive, as the body is essentially cutting off essential cells to purge an infection - don’t reference this, my recount on rabies is fucking inaccurate as hell. But do recall, rabies is 100% fatal following symptoms onset, and there is only a vaccine which will prevent death, if someone suspects they have been bitten by a rabid (or carrier) animal.

On that note, there is no such thing as a healthy carrier of covid. It presents symptoms, even if the infected is unaware damage to the circulatory system is happening. To prevent complications to covid and its variants inoculation is recommended to those who can receive vaccines.

Oh, why was I researching shingles? Shingles pops up along the nerves. And there has been an increased risk of shingles following a covid infection (report yikes). And sure, some people have had a shingles outbreak following covid vaccination, but as I have theorized in the past, there may be a correlation of mild to asymptomatic covid (still infected with the disease and the virus working on the vascular system regardless if symptoms present) activating the shingles due to prior infection with covid. But also-also to note, you have the shingles virus following measles or pox infection. You can get a Chicken or measles vaccine to prevent the virus from latching onto your cells and being an ever present naughty. It is recommended of those who have had a pox infection, to get shingles vaccination after 40 or 50 years milestone of age.

So shying a healthy child away from vaccination (and subsequent ignoring symptoms in the event of vaers) condemns adults to potential inconvenience. And without childhood pox, the risks in adults and complications of a chicken pox infection is super high, thus vaccination is always recommended in those who have never had a pox party.

Contrary to maga belief, getting sick 5 times a year does not mean someone is healthy. Quite the opposite.

Wait, where is my lifeboat? Part 3

I'm home from Florida. I've survived a deserted island and the ferry ride from hell. Surely, it can't get more exciting than that. Right? Right?!

RECAP: I was “on vacation” with my mother in the Florida Keys. There was a deserted Island, mention of yellow fever, and chunks flew (yes like in Triangle of Sadness.) My mother and I visit Hemingway’s house. We take the tour. I learn he didn’t pay for anything. He was fortunate enough to marry the daughter or a rich man. This rich man bought their home for $8,000. Ernest also didn’t use any of…
