– I got a strange feeling. I looked down and saw the tea dripping down my clothes, even though I didn’t feel anything in my mouth. I got up, walked in front of the mirror and noticed that one side of my face was hanging numb.
I saw a football personality Keith Armstrong describes September Tuesdays in 2020 in his freshly baked biography My story (Docendo).
Armstrong was hospitalized and diagnosed with facial paralysis.
– I was prescribed cortisone and painkillers, with which I was sent home via the pharmacy, he says in his book.
– I took the medicine at home. Then my winch went dark for almost a day.
After waking up, Armstrong found that he had thrown up two tablets.
– My health and appearance were in such a shocking state that I called the emergency center, where it was determined that I needed hospital treatment. An ambulance picked me up, and I stayed in treatment for several days.
Left traces
The right medical treatment was found, but in the summer of 2025, Armstrong had another facial paralysis, “just to be sure”, as he says in his biography.
Armstrong, 68, says that the paralysis still affects facial expressions and eating, as well as control of the right eye.
– Facial paralysis has left its visible and palpable traces. They have caused many challenges in my everyday life, but no one my age would not have health problems, he says in his biography.
– So I try not to complain too much and keep my sense of humor. After all, I’m doing very well.
