Re: Thoughts, Suggestions, Advice and/or comfort welcome
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that a friend of the family had something similar during her second pregnancy. She actually lost a little of her vision in one eye and had to wear a patch over that eye for about half of her pregnancy. After the baby was born, shortly after delivery, her eye was back to normal. She said it was the strangest thing.
I hope you're feeling better soon!

Re: Thoughts, Suggestions, Advice and/or comfort welcome
Did these both start at the same time?
The facial pain sounds like trigeminal neuralgia to me. Are any of the muscles in you face weak (smile and look in the mirror or try to close your eyes tight and see if one eyelid is stronger than the other). TN is more common in pregnancy and can result from previous dental work...I would see a PMD and if you doc has no idea get a referral to a neurologist.
Does the eye pain get worse when you look around? And is it only in one eye or both? Any blurry vision? If you have blurry vision you need to see an ophthalmologist or neurologist ASAP as it could be optic neuritis. But it could also be nothing.
I hope this helps!

Re: Thoughts, Suggestions, Advice and/or comfort welcome
Deb, I am so sorry you are going through this. As if all the other pains aren't enough to deal with.
My girlfriend actually told me that her MIL had something similar happen to her that affected her vision. I think the opthamologist should be able to help.
I hope they figure this out. Sending you

Re: Thoughts, Suggestions, Advice and/or comfort welcome
I have.. while I was at lamaze class I got a HUGE migraine which made me very nervous.. I then lost feeling in my mouth and my hands.. I had a cat scan done, nothing they did all kind of blood work and nothing again..
they said the baby may have been sitting on a nerve the wrong way..
Next time you feel it coming on try to change the way you are sitting or standing..

I was going to ask if they've done testing on your trigeminal nerve. I have had a similar situation for a few years now. I'm not preggo, nor was I when it began, but the left side of my face went completely numb and then slightly tingly about 4 years ago. Unfortunately we have never found a reason for it. It has gotten better but I have never regained full feeling in that side of my face. however, it doesn't really affect me as I don't normally 'feel' that I don't feel unless I'm very tired or I run a sharp object across each side of my face. Then it becomes apparent that I do not feel it on my left side as well as I do on my right.
Anyway, they were looking into bells paulsy (though I had no droopiness) as well as problems with the trigeminal nerve. How intense is the pain?

Wow. I am really sorry. This is awful.
I would want a CatScan though. Have you been tested for Gestational Diabetics? I know that can effect your vision.

Re: Thoughts, Suggestions, Advice and/or comfort welcome 4/27 update
Hey ladies,
Just wanted to give you a mini update.
Went back to some doctors and I still don't have any answers but I am still having problems with my face becoming numb.
Sadly, I am starting to become resigned to the fact that this just might be how I have to live my life for three more months
I go in tomorrow for my Glucose test so I will see what the OB says and early next week I am going in to have some x0ray's done on my face because as my doctor says "I just wnat to make sure that its not a tumor or something like that leaning on a nerve, but don't worry I am sure its not"  Thanks Doc...not too freaked out now! 
Thank you for those have have FM'd me looking for an update!

Re: Thoughts, Suggestions, Advice and/or comfort welcome 4/27 update
FINALLY! I have FINALLY been diagnosed with something. Man it feels good to have a doctor finally believe you and to know that I am NOT crazy (ok ok, it took Darren calling the doctors office and demanding some stuff, but they finally looked at the x-ray and got back to me). Anyway it seems I have some polyps/cysts that are lining the left side of my face and THAT is what is causing all these problems.
I have to go in tomorrow and see what we can do about all of it. Its just nice to know that this is not all in my head!

Thanks Moe.
Its just really nice to know that I am not crazy or making these symptoms up. I have no idea how we will treat them or if any pain management can happen now but at least we are making steps in the right direction.
