I still get the tightening on the side of my face that was affected by Ramsy Hunt when I am under pressure, focus of attention or meeting new people. It is deffinately when I an nervous that the left side tightens up. I do get some pain in the left ear when it is very cold or windy.

I have accepted that this is how I will be for the rest of my life and I don't get upset about it although I must confess, its taken along time to accept that I may look a bit strange when smiling at new people sometimes. The more I think about it when I am meeting new people, the tighter the nerves become.
