2) a day or 2 before it happened we got a decent snow here in jersey and i was out shoveling and plowing for a good 10 hours.. The introduction of drastic hot to cold temprature changes theyre saying could have negativly effected this nerver.

Other than that.. Ive been to so many dr's... My general, a neurologist, a radiologist... had catscan MRI... and everyone is just scratching theyre head..

they say it usually only effects 1 in like 40,000 well hear i am!
Randy,
A colleague of mine, while we were on business in NJ, with relatively nice weather as I recall it being in the spring/summer, goes to bed perfectly fine after dinner with the group and wakes up with half his face numb and paralyzed. We had no idea what it was at the time and convinced him to leave an head for medical help thinking in terms of a stroke. Turned out to be same condition as you and in a couple of weeks, it cleared up on him.
Was scary to say the least.
