Feel for you. My sister had it last year, she couldn't eat properly, speak, she refused to go out at first as she was sure everyone was looking at her!! But after a few weeks everything improved and she has no lasting side effects. They reckoned all the stress she was under at the time contributed to it happening.
Chin up x x |

just wonder if TENS machine can help with Bell's Palsy? My youngest son has a facial palsy as a result of head injuries suffered when he was knocked over in 2011 and he uses a TENS machine for an hour a day which seems to be helping.
Also understand that ultrasound is being used to treat Bell's Palsy.
Good luck with beating it. |

I had quite a bad spell with this in my mid 20s.
I had what I thought was bad earache and went to bed to rest.
I thought I had had a stroke when I woke up to find my face had completely dropped on one side.
It was diagnosed as Bells Palsy and I had several weeks off work as I was constantly dribbling and talking funny (still like that now funnily enough  ) and then about 6 months of physio and speech therapy.
Thankfully I had no severe lasting effects - the only legacy I am left with is that when I get tired my left eye closes up compared to the right - which is down to the muscle damage in that eye.
Good Luck with your recovery |
