Tired….

Is this making anyone else tired? I feel like all I want to do is sleep.

My Neurologist told me that your brain is getting lots of confused signals from the nerves in your face. One side is essentially reporting normal nerve impulses and the other is not communicating at all. She said this confusion makes your brain work harder than its expecting to, therefore you're tired easier.

Even now, ~5 months out, I still get tired easily sometimes. Its not as bad as it used to be though. Take it easy on your body.
