Randy, I will definitely keep you in my prayers.
Have you been in a car accident where you were rear ended in the last couple of years? The reason I ask is that my wife had Bells Palsy that was caused by scar tissue that formed in the muscles at the base of her skull. We had been in a car accident a couple of years earlier and she was first diagnosed (with out the doctor even examining her) with a possible tumor. He immediately prescribed steroids for her. What a quack! Anyway, after getting a second opinion, she underwent massage therapy and was completely cured after two months. Now I am not saying that that is what will happen with you, but it is something to think about!
Know that you are in my prayers and God will see you through.
BTW, if you are ever in Prescott, AZ, do not, and I mean DO NOT see a neurologist by the name of Dr. Scott!
Peace be with you brother!
