Crack me up Sandman. Did you ever see the flash of green just before the sun peeks over the horizon. Only once for me when i was much younger surf casting for stripers out on Marthas Vineyard in October.

Today I saw an old man exit a condo building and step onto the beach, he was easily in his 80's, and in a Speedo. I remember thinking to myself, "If his wife comes out in a thong I'm out of here!" :laughing7:

Strange, when I got it, the cause was pretty well known.
I was told that it was a result of frequent stressing your body through exposure such as cold water while diving withour sufficient rest for your body to recover.
High Stress further increases the probability of getting It was it has a negative effect on your immune system and ability to recover. I was treated for Bells Palsy on the left side in 1964,physical therapy - shock the nerves with electricity to get response. Had to wear an eye patch and could not drink coke out of a bottle. It has improved, but has never went away. Still partially disabled eye constantly twitches, have to take frequent breaks when reading.

IIRC, Taxi Cab drivers have a higher incidence of it than normal from driving with their window open.

Bells Palsy-mine never went away. Us to play harmonica as a profession. Can play it at all now. Every body else I knew-that had -finally healed.Cab Driver/Truck Driver condition- well mines on the right side. Several negatives for Lymes. Hope it goes away for you. For me it's-hey fella-why the l o n g face.......

Bells palsy was something I was told not if but when..i have stage 4 Lyme disease with 2 co-infections called bobesia(tick version of malaria) and erlichiosis which eats the lining of nerves off. One little tick bite caused my downfall but if it wasn't for it I never would have started to metal detect. I had to get out and force exercise and make my cramping painful muscles and joints move. I had no desire to until wife bought me an ace 150 and I found my first silver.
Guys just watch out for the ticks plz, I don't want anyone to go through what I do on a daily basis. Bells palsy is no joke and thank God mine didn't last, not cool when one side of your face turns to jello.

Here's the result of digging in the rocks along the New England beaches:

My recent MRI:

One visit to the Physiatrist for epidural injection, and I'll be back out there and hopefully dig up something decent to post.
