No stories, sorry, just best wishes. Here's hoping everything turns out OK.


>Diagnosed officially today with RHS. Some say it stands for Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, but I'm going with Really Hurts. Sh*t! Instead of being 1 of 4,000 with Bell's Palsy, I'm 1 of 20,000. Pretty special, huh? I'm not quite as light-hearted about this one. Full recovery is only 60% and can take years instead of weeks or months. Now I'm in the big leagues. I was wondering why the pain and symptoms I was having seemed more acute than what those whining candyass BP one's were on about! <s> Ah, well, I still have a pretty good attitude about it. Good thing, as it looks like RH and I are going to be pretty close for awhile. Not looking for sympathy - well, perhaps a little - but anyone have any stories about this new one?

>>I got it about a week ago. Could last up to 6 months. Anyone else?

>>I have a good attitude about such things, so it's kind of funny if you look at it the right way. I laugh at myself first and usually harder than others do, so all the popeye and elephant man jokes are most welcome...
