Thank you so much Payne and January.
Thanks for your input Gus! The disease was in my ear canal, which connects directly to that half of my throat, nose, and facial nerves. I actually can't even taste out of the left half of my mouth or smell from the left side of my nose. It didn't just damage the nerves, it completely killed them so they have to regrow, which is why the recovery chances (60%) are so much smaller than cerebral palsy (85%). I've been taking vitamins that support nerve regeneration every night and eating fish at least twice a week for the nerve regeneration in it. I'll check with my doctor about these other forms of treatments when I see him on the 8th.
