salemgold ECF Guru Verified Member ECF Veteran

I'm not sure why they ruled it out. They told me that all facial movement was normal and equal on both sides. I am going to a very reputable neurologist in a week for another option, and will bring up what you have been through to get his take. Maybe this will help with a possible diagnosis.
