I was in St. Petersburg, Russia; I was 75; my face was paralyzed on the right side; I thought I'd had a stroke; my Russian/American clinic wanted to hospitalize me; I called Dr. Li who told me to take the phone over to the mirror in my hotel room, now try to raise yr right eyebrow, he said; I said I couldn't; he said that;s good bec. the eyebrow is controlled by the facial nerve' not the brain. He then asked if I had been to Nantucket that summer; yes, I replied. He said I probably had Lyme's disease, which morphed into Bell's Palsy. He was right and I never felt more relieved in my life. Here's to Dr. Li. My hero!
