In reply to one side of my face drooping, severe asymmetry, posted by iforgotmypassword on September 23, 2005, at 21:00:12
Hi there. I agree with both Phillipa and GardenerGirl. Facial asymmetry and drooping of half the face is often caused by Bell's Palsy. There are other neurological problems that can cause asymmetry as well. Please schedule an appointment with a neurologist as soon as possible, and tell them what you've told us. If the receptionist tries to put you off, insist on speaking with the doctor and/or the nurse. Among other things, you should have complete blood work, including a test for Lyme Disease.
