wrinkles

Post by Myolin » Mon Oct 07, 2013 2:48 pm

I get older that's a fact! but amazingly I get wrinkles only on one side, the side I am sleeping on (I cannot on the other side because of my ankle) I was thinking that pershap it was the mask. In fact since I wear the Mirage Liberty mask my wrinkles are different than with the full one, more around the mouth.

Did you experience something similar? It is a bit vain as far as I cannot go without the cpap therapy but I feel better speaking abobut it.

Is this a new 'symptom' that just happened overnight? IF so, then maybe see a doctor (or the ER) about Bell's Palsy, which is when nerves go out on one side of your face (not forever, but a few weeks usually). It is common in diabetics, or people who are pre-diabetic and don't know it, though not always by any means. You would need some kind of treatment if it's the case, but if it's just been a gradual change over months, then I'm sorry, maybe Botox could help.

Google Pad-A-Cheek. There is a good chance Karen can suggest something to help with this.
