I had that a few years back, it sucks. The doc stuck a needle in the bone behind my ear 4 times to inject steroids. Hoochie mama did that get my attention.

That’s what I thought: Bell’s Palsy.

Had a similar experience December 2011 - MRI negative etc. Diagnosed Bell's Palsy - no one is sure of a cause but in my case and 2 other's I heard about we all had a common thought that it happened after we were in a heavy wind blowing over our ears prior to the paralysis.
Not life-threatening but treated with cortisone and zovirax and clears up in 2-3 days usually. Be careful though that your eyes stay lubricated and don't dry out. Artificial tears help and I tried the eye patch that holds the lid shut but it drove me nuts.
Semper Fi and prayers up for you!

Bell’s Palsy?I know someone who had that. It was no picnic either; but it did clear up in a fairly short while. Praying that everything works out!
