My name Nikunj Patel and I live in Chicago, IL. I am happily married with wife Rita and have 1-year-old daughter, Tulsi.

I am a software developer and IT consultant working with one of Chicago's premier consulting company, Technium Inc.

I am fairly healthy person and I don't have any allergies the one I known of. I do have sinus problems since I moved rural area of Chicago western suburbs in July 2000. I get sick much easier in fall and spring in last couple years.

I had chicken pox when I was one year old. I became victim of Bell's palsy in August 2003 and later on diagnosed as victim of RHS and here are my day-by-day experiences with this illness.
