Hi, all,

I am in my Day 6 of facial numbness. Although I am not 100% sure, I suspect my recent "Bell's Palsy" as diagnosed by my doctor was due to my one and only one tablet of Tylenol, after confirmed by similar stories of numbness due to Tylenol from the website.

I am 36, male, non-smoking, non-alcoholic. I have no allergy to medication before, except pollen allergy.

This is how it happened. Last Tuesday March 15, 2005, I found myself having terrible headache, the worst one I had ever had. I took one day off the next day. My wife recommended Tylenol OTC since she had been taking several tablets before and it worked for her.

I took only one although the bottle instruction prescribes two. The next day I feel numb on my right face and saw my doctor on Sunday. I was diagnosed as "Bell's Palsy".

My wondering is: have any people had similar cases or experiences? I suspect the link because I have ruled out all others.

Any advice?

Thanks,

Len
