toni magni - interoperability infrastructure actor
Two days ago I have developed the first symptoms of facial paralysis. Turns out to be Bell's Palsy. Because i had to travel for work (I am now already in Istanbul) and the remote possibility of not healing 100% I decided to take an aggressive approach.
I know that Bell's palsy is self-limiting and in most cases, even if untreated, cures itself in a few months. So homeopathic therapy and a relaxed life would have been a treatment I would have had complete faith in. However, the fact of two work meetings back to back with travel and sales materials to worry about...
Bottom line is, I am learning how to do intramuscular injections on my own :-) shooting up vitamin B and corticosteroids. I'm still not confident, this morning I almost fainted... But last night went perfect: 0 pain, I mean 0, nothing before, during, or after. And this gives me faith that I can learn how to do them left and right in zero pain.
In the picture I am trying to close both eyes as hard as possible.
