I am much less drunk this morning but I feel a bit groggy. Maybe the antivirals are causing the tiredness but I'm not sure. All I know is that I have had a good night's sleep and I still managed to get an extra couple of hours this afternoon!

Again I have to report that the rash is still present behind the ear and over my body but it is no worse. The itching is holding off for the moment and I still feel no pain with the virus. Incidentally my shoulder is less painful today although I can still feel a slight twinge.

My facial muscles continue to strengthen which is good because it shows that although the virus is still active, the cranial nerve is continuing to repair itself and is not undergoing any further damage. In fact I think that things should be close to nearly normal in a few weeks if progress continues at this rate.

The website is going great. We added a site meter after midnight and by about 5pm there had been 33 visitors. Not bad seeing as it hasn't made it onto any search engines yet... just a few forums. The emails are coming in steadily and people are giving positive feedback. All good. By the end of the day there has been about 60 hits.

Been warned by Bells' Palsy Network Admin for posting a link about this site on their forum. Apologies for that but thanks for the thumbs up about my site and I'd be more than happy to lend a hand.

My shoulder has started aching a bit again and the head pains are becoming noticeable once more. This is a bit confusing as they have both been quite quiet all day. More worrying is the discovery of a few spots around my left ear. If the antivirals are in my system then why is the rash spreading? We'll see tomorrow then.
