@Princessxharris - Another thought on your stroke-like symptoms is that you may have had Bell’s Palsy. It affects the facial nerve & causes stroke-like symptoms but only in the face as you noted. It needs to be treated w/ a steroid & an anti-viral medication ASAP after symptoms start to get the best recovery. You did the right thing heading to A & E. It’s just wrong that your symptoms went unrecognized & you were dismissed by the doctor/other medical help there.
I’m sorry about how your pregnancies affected your teeth. The trigeminal nerve is one of the nerve frequently irritated by ES. It causes pain in the teeth, ears, nose, sinuses & sometimes even causes migraines. I’m wondering if it’s contributing to the tooth troubles you’re continuing to have?
Irritation of the spinal accessory nerve is most likely the shoulder & arm symptoms you’re having. It’s another of the cranial nerves that often gets irritated by elongated styloids. You can google images of the locations of the nerves I’ve mentioned as being able to visualize their locations & courses in the body helps explain the symptoms they can cause.
You asked this in an early post. There is a syndrome called Clicking Larynx Syndrome which can be caused by excess thyroid calcification. Here are links w/ more information about it.
I had a severe problem w/ TMJ issues/clicking jaw, jaw pain, ear pain, etc., which went away after my styloidectomies. My jaw joints are in pretty bad shape but I no longer have pain. Not sure how the styloids could have impacted my jaw joints to that degree, but we have repeatedly noted on this forum how interconnected our bodies are internally.
Unfortunately, neither @Jules nor I are very techy. The best I can offer is for you to try using radiantviewer.com if you have a PC as our members who’ve used that 3D conversion software have said the instructions are very clear for producing images that contain the structures you want to see. I haven’t tried it as I have a Mac.
