How are you doing now?

Ha! You don't want that stuff. If the doc gets one little shot a micro-meter off, then your face goes up or down on one side. You never know what the outcome will be. Sure, I don't have wrinkles on my forehead, but I have one side of my mouth a bit lower than the other. I'm doing the same as always. Good days and some not so good, but I praise God that this does not cause pain and that I am able to continue to be independent and still working.

There are things I can't do, like watch TV. Something about the constant movement. I am surely thankful that I can work at the computer, and I can read or sew; anything that gives me a single focus. It's hard for me to do two things at once, like talking and keeping my eyes open at the same time. I can drive, but I must be alone, so I can stay focused. It's a strange affliction. I wouldn't call it a disease. It is not physically life-threatening, just aggravating. I have never stopped trying to find the cause, and there is a research foundation in Beaumont, TX that funds research on BEB.
