Face Paralysis?

My brother in 26 years old and about 3 days ago he claims to have lost the ability to move the right side of his face. He seems ligit, when he smiles only the left side goes up, hes talking funny, having trouble spitting, and can't wink his right eyelid anymore.

He smokes like 2 packs a day, and has bad teeth. i don't know if either of them can casue this.

he still has feeling in that side of his face, he can feel touch.

Does anyone know what could cause this?
Is it serious or will it go away?
the only thing i can think of is stroke
thanks

has anyone ever had a sore anus? like after someone slipped a sharpe finger in it?

ok, ever since I had this new man in and out of my life he's been a bit off centered, like not there most of the time and elusive. So, he just did something to me he's never done before just a few days ago. It hurts a bit and I think he had a sharp nail on his finger or something. Is there anything weird going on out there that some men are doing to women without them knowing it? Besides the micki finn in my drink,[I don't drink], so is this something I should be truely concerned about or am I messing around with a strange man that's known me for 8 years and has never invited me to his home or even tell me where he lives.
We are not exclusive with each other. He is the only man I've been with in about 4 years. Just wanted to know if there are men out there doing weird things to women without them knowing it till it's too late. Thanks, Sore and Yes I've tried Preparation H,hot water, cold water, and it still bothers me. I'm giving it a few more days to get better.

I have asked other docs this question and no one can answer it. Why would anyone get a burning pain...?

...shooting down both arms when they urinate...but only when they have an active bladder infection? Doesn't happen at any other time. While I only get an infection every couple of years, the burning in the arms happens every time. When the typical burning from urinating goes away, so does the burning in the arms. Weird, huh?

If you can answer this one, you will definitely earn your 10 points.

Would a fasting blood sugar of 150 affect my hypothyroidism?

I am possibly pre diabetic, 150 FBS. I am hypothyroid and have taken medication for years and kept my TSH to 4.5. Now all of a sudden my FBS is 150 and my TSH drops to 3.1. It is supposed to be normal but I want it up to 4.5. Would my FBS have anything to do with dropping it to 3.1
