[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 331641, member: 4264"] Thanks for the info. Wow, no salivary glands. How bizarre!!! I hope they figure things out and whatever your ongoing problems have been can be properly addressed. The main facial nerve from the parotid gland was the nerve that became infected when I was hospitalized, leading to deafness for so long and to the worst swelling (I'm talking disfiguring, epic proportion swelling) of my life. Not to mention the pain? OMG. I was told if the problem persists, I might have to consider having the parotid gland operated on, somehow severing it from the facial nerve?? To prevent further infection spread via the nerves. Yikes. I was also told if that is the case and surgical intervention is required, I will have no movement in the left half of my face, mouth etc from then on. Umm, don't think so!!! [/QUOTE]
