No frizzy hair, not clown nose. No big shoes. But I still feel like I am dressed up as a clown.
I believe I mentioned once before that after I had my wisdom teeth on the left side cut out, the right side of my face and my lips had that weird sensation like they were numb. They were not completely numb though. If you poked it or pinched it, I would feel it.
The numbness sensation continued to spread to the tip of my tongue. I told several doctors about this and still, would not order me an MRI.
Now, it is starting to worry me. Within the past week or two my lips feel really weird. They feel like I am wearing clown make up.
I still feel things if my lips are squeezed or poked, but there is no other way to describe the feeling other than a numb sensation.
I have an appointment to have an MRI and see a neurosurgeon on August 12. I emailed the nurse last night to check on this and see if I can wait that long with this new symptom.
I have to wait for her to respond to my question now. I am really tired of this feeling though. I’m serious when I say it feels like I am wearing clown make up on the lower part of my face. I just want to wipe it off, but there is nothing there.
The joys of NF2. I’m always worrying if the issue is somehow related to a tumor. Hopefully this will turn out to be nothing too bad. We will have to wait and see and I will keep you all posted.
