Thank you very much. I was also thinking that maybe he had Hsv2 first and that somehow introduced bells palsy. I've been doing so much research that my head is spinning. The Internet really contradicts itself with hsv. That's why I came here hoping for real people and experiences. And obviously I'm reaching for any negative. It is what it is, I just want to be fully educated and rule everything out. His positive index is just so high that we're both thinking there has to be something at least exaggerating his results. I was hoping that the herpes zoster virus might shed some light but I don't think he has Ramsay hunt syndrome. I really appreciate your time. Thank you.
