I just was diagnosed today and I was soooo emotional about the sudden change in my face I just pray for full recovery. This is really a hard thing to go through😥
Looks like we got diagnoses at the same time. Its my second week on steroids and Antivirals, no signs of recovery yet. My smile still crooked ! How do you feel and what are you doing to make things better?
@@gansuringagaru Hullo, I have been meaning to give an update here but been caught up with work and school. But I have attained around 90% healing. The steroids and antivirals were a great help with the pain at the back of the ear. Thanks everyone here for sharing their story and progress, it would have been much harder to cope with had it not been for this resource video. Thanks everyone, thanks so much.
@@gansuringagaru Hey, don't worry, you will heal too. Its a condition that really takes its time to heal. For that matter, don't keep yourself in doors. There's so much beauty outside, go see it.🤓 You will start seeing serious improvement in the third week.
** I truly hope someone can read this & gain hope** but you WILL BE OKAY. I remember when I first got it.. I was super down and scared. But I knew eventually it would go away. Staying positive is the first step. I first got it December 13th 2022. Now it’s Jan 5th and I’m about 90% healed. Take your medication, take your b12, run hot water on your face (every single) shower, do face exercises, massage your face & stay positive. That’s what I did. Don’t just sit around and let it run it’s course. Doing those little things HELP TREMENDOUSLY.. If you want it gone sooner than later then you have to go above & beyond. I even got acupunctures done. You’ll be okay I promise. Hopefully this helps someone 💛 you’re beautiful!
Hi, did you take steroids? I was just prescribed with B12 and exercise. Don't know if it will speed up the recovery, I also have physical theraphist. How are you now?
@@remj.3583 I’m recovered. Took me about 3 weeks or so. I was prescribed prednisone & valtrax. Keep doing the exercises (multiple times per day) avoid ice or super cold drinks and apply heat to the side that’s affected daily.
Hi I just got diagnosed 15 days ago. I’m also from SA. I remember when your story came out . Now here I am experiencing it . I hope to recover soon. Thank you for sharing xoxo
I had my Bell’s palsy for 1 month and 2 weeks after my steroids and meds I was left with exercise my face and take vitamins so I got desperate and took Dolo neurobion injection B12 after 10 to 15 minutes of injection I felt a twitch on my left side of face and recovered quick I hope this information helps you
I was born with Bells Palsy and I have tried my whole life to feel normal every where I have gone I have had it pointed out but no help thank you for doing your story it has helped me a lot see things a little better!
I've had Bells-palsey twice. Once at 14 and again at 21. Each time it took about six months to regain muscle control. I am now 44, still have crooked smile, can't pucker. The eye on my affected side still shows weakness. If I laugh suddenly or too much I get muscle cramps alongside my neck. I was put on steroids the first time at 14. Doctors just said was a virus. I'm glad that my face does not drooping. It's a difficult thing to go through.
what did you do. to recover. thanks. im experiencing that 4 days ago. i notice i cannot pronounce easily the f b c p. when toothbrushing the water in my mouth out. thanks
What a great and brave thing to share. I really appreciate this video. Recently diagnosed with Bells Palsy and wasn't getting what I needed from the doctors being doctors and talking over me instead of to another doctor!! Some of us just want to know what's to come and what we can do to get better. So I would like to thank you so much for sharing. I now understand what's going to be to come!! I was so worried and to hear a real honest person that really has and is going thru it or has gone thru it gives me hope and knowledge that I can and will recover. I hope lol feels helpless at the present moment. Thank u again for sharing
i know im randomly asking but does anybody know a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I somehow lost my account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me
I am going through it now and was diagnosed about two weeks ago, I just hope that my recovery is sooner than later. It’s very hard not being able to eat correctly or speak to people in person without feeling self conscious. It’s definitely hard to be strong but I have to keep stress levels down to heal quicker.
I was just diagnosed Saturday evening...woke up and thought I was having a stroke, glad it wasn't, but I'm still adjusting to eating, drinking, sleeping, etc. It sucks really bad! I don't enjoy eating or drinking anymore, it's such a chore when everything comes back out the weak side 😔 here's to a hopeful short recovery.
@@killerbee792 I was diagnosed on March 16th. It was getting better and last week it transitioned to the other side of my face. It is extremely frustrating.
I got it the first time as a teen on my left side, never fully recovered. Have weakness on the whole of my left side, can’t smile and my eye looks smaller. My left side also twitches if I smile big or laugh unexpectedly. I just got it again two days ago but on my right side. This time I wen to the doctor right away to get on meds. I pray to God I heal this time because it’s going to be a very difficult thing to accept that fact that I may never have control of my face ever again and never be able to show emotion 😔
Treatment for Bell's palsy by Dr. Joel wallach & Dr. Ma Lan Bell's Palsy it is the sudden drooping of one side of the face due to an inflammation, swelling, or squeezing (the result of osteoporosis) of the "facial" nerve (the 7th cranial nerve as it passes through the skull) Bell's palsy is often mistaken for a stroke because of the sudden onset. Numbness in partial or total loss of muscular control on the affected side of the face are the typical signs and symptoms. Treated properly, there can be as much as an 80% chance of significant recovery. Treatment is B12 at 1000 mcg /day for a total of 20,000 mcg, calcium slash magnesium at 2000 mg an 800 mg per day, essential fatty acids at 5 gm t.i.d., and American ginseng ( Panax quinquefolius). Colloidal minerals are useful. Treat for osteoporosis with Dr Joel wallach's pig arthritis formula. This information is from the book Dead Doctors Don't lie! Dr. Joel Wallach & Dr. Ma Lan
Just was diagnosed this morning. I woke up to my left side numb then it moved to my right and started pulling. I went straight to my doctor. On my journey to a full recovery.
Thank you for sharing I know how you feel. I had Bell's palsy symptoms on my way to airport on my vacation. All I can say the mix feelings I was having trying to understand what was going on, why I couldn't wash my mouth, suck from straw my soda and so on was to much I was in critical care. I thank the almighty, Drs, nurses therapists at Kissimmee hosp God bless them all I will visit in near future. I wish the best for you and your recovery cause you look beautiful. First time I talk about this subject publicly cause if you haven't had this terrible experience you won't understand my feelings. God bless you and great job talking about this matter. People can hurt with comments, jokes etc. 🙏😘😪👍
I went through this yes it’s horrible! I had no one to make fun of me thank God for that! I am sorry if someone did to you they don’t know what it feels like til it happens to them!
i am on round 2 of Bell's, started for me again 5 days ago, my first time some 12 or 13 years ago, i did a lot of reading and here is what i learned, behind your inner ear is a flat bone with a tiny pin hole and a nerve, your 7th cranial nerve the size of a human hair travels through this hole, when the nerve is infected it swells and is pinched inside the pin hole restricting signals to the affected side, if you get Bell's it is not the end of the world, especially if this is what God had in store for you, or me, at least it is not a stroke. also keep in mind when you pass that half smile off to someone, you are only giving them a half smile just in case you were not sincere, i had to come back and add how important it is to keep trying to force those muscles to work, i know from experiance its hard because it feels like your brain is struggling and tellig you its not happening, use your hands and push in the places like winking your eye, push it up with your hand until the muscle gets the control again, i over came this once and i will do it again,,,,, I Hope. I commented 4 weeks ago today is july 3rd and i can see the forehead lines starting to come back when i lift my eyebrows up and slight movement in my cheek muscles, i can not wink, or full smile, it's like my brain can't find the trigger to tell the muscles to move Seems like a cruel joke
I suffered from this last year. And its true you'll avoid mirrors because you don't recognize your face and you'll avoid people because you feel deformed. I have now recovered but I can no longer whistle like I used to which I did daily to get through work and my face is forever changed, others may not be able to see the slight droop of my left eye or occasionally speaking with only the right side of my lips but I notice. Hopefully it gets better
I feel for you. I can see the residual muscles are affected. I woke up with it in 2014, I didn't have any treatment because of a poor diagnoses. Unaware it must be treated within 72 hrs, I struggled for a two and a half months before I could produce a slight smile. I slept with an eye patch for over a month and taped my eye shut when I shampooed my hair. It's 2022 and I still don't have full recovery. Maybe 75%. I also developed synkinesis where my nerves crossed in the healing. (When I shut my eyes, the top corner of my mouth gets tugged)... you actually look beautiful, even though, being afflicted by it, I can see it's apparent. I lost my beautiful smile and bright eyes.
72 hours i believe you have been misinformed, it's my understanding there is no known treatment for Bell's Palsy. Sure Dr's and ER's will give you pills to swallow but i saw no changes from these medicines Dr.s have told me there's no known treatment for Bell's it has to run its course, i am sitting here now 4 weeks in and only a couple day's ago i started seeing movements this is my 2nd run with this, my oldest sister had it her face is still drooping on one side, my aunt had it on both sides and both sides never recovered
I noticed a couple years ago, only when watching video of myself, that the left side of my face doesn't move as much as the right side, and I wasn't sure if it had always been like that, or if it happened since my root canals, when I had terrible pain in my jaw and head on that said of my face, from dental infection due to starvation, due to divorce and abuse stress. The left side is still weak, but no one said anything to me about how I look, and I've never consulted a doctor about it. I'm glad I'm not the only one who's had this. I wonder if it's Bell's Palsy and if I can improve it with facial exercises... There was a time when I had to open my eye(s) with my hand... I thought it was dry eye.
At Christmas 1996 vacationing in Florida I had bell's palsy, and the following Easter I got it on the other side of my face. I didn't do any therapy, I was young enough that it heald quickly, however I had to wear sunglasses for 8 months because the bright light was hard on the eyes. I was 29, at first I thought I was having a stroke. I got insurance before going to Florida from Canada, and when Kissimmee hospital found out I had insurance, they gave me the works lol. Cost to insurance was $2,800
I was diagnosed with this four days ago and honestly it's scary ASF. They claim this is caused by a virus, chicken pox, herpes hsv1, that the ear will be some what inflamed. I honestly don't think that's it, for me i believe it has to do with my sinuses. Ive been having sinus problems for years and chronic conjunctivitis, which has never gone away. The last month my nose was inflamed and it hurt. Unfortunately before I got this i was constantly wearing nose strips, 247. And i think that's what caused my Bell's palsy. Not taking the strip off and leaving it on for 24 hours a day isn't to bright. I'm on steroids and antiviral meds, i pray this isn't permanent. Also, never pop pimples in the T zone area.
@@kathleenkathleen6381 It's back to normal, thank God .The only thing that's taking longer to bounce back is my smile. Since my right side had paralyzed it paralyzed my smile as well, now it's just a little crooked. But not like it was when this first occurred. Thank you for asking.
I was diagnosed a few months ago believe me it was not easy my emotions was all over the place the place but thank god I still have life and still healing
Got mine April 1,2019 and still have it May 2020 did the steroids, exercises, took a lot B12 now going to therapy and I’m still the same no results so I’m hoping still for recovery. I’m a smiler and haven’t ever seen. But over all I’m in good health.
If stressors trigger Bell’s palsy have you tried meditation, 6 breaths a minute breathing exercises like the ones Blood Pressure patients use to reverse their issues? Diet change as well.
I’ve also was previously diagnosed with Bels Palsy in 7th grade! I was terrified and knew something was wrong, It was kindof hard for my mom to physically tell at first😢 no medication was prescribed but it went away 2-3 weeks later and in the information the Dr gave was that if you get it again your chances of it going away are slim …
Please also try "EARTHING" which is putting your bare feet or hands on the "damp" earth/grass/sand. The Earth continuously provides free electrons which reduces inflammation in the body on contact. Do it daily; the longer the better! Wanted to put this out there for anyone desperate to get better. It's free, it can't hurt you and it's worth a try. Good luck!

I was diagnosed with bell’s palsy 5 years. Back when I was pregnant with my daughter, after taking TDAP vaccinations. For 3 days I couldn’t understand what had happened to me because I never knew about bells palsy in my life or saw someone who had it. But thanks God what helped me is Accupuncture & B12 and antiviral herbs. Almost 90% recovered. I just took steroid for a week because it’s very unsafe more than that. Will Pray for everyone that our lord may bless you all and heal you Amen.
@@dayhumble1629 Praise the lord It was elder berry syrup, Echinacea Vitamin b12 Zinc Accupuncture Warm Coconut oil with crushed garlic heated and massage And of course prayers 🙏🙏🙏. Hope it helps
@@Chaitralisa123 hi, can I have acupuncture, take b12 shots and also have natural herbs whilst also taking my steroids that I’ve been prescribed? I want to start acupuncture right away, b12 shots right away and natural herbs right away but I have been prescribed on steroids for the first week. Should I wait until my steroids are finished and then start acupuncture, b12 and natural remedies or do you suggest I start everything all at once? I’m within the first 72 hours of diagnosis (also within 72 hours since it happened). Any help would be truly appreciated
I notice a drop on my eyebrow and I couldn’t smile perfectly and went to the er, I got a slight drop on my right side. The doctor checked if it was a stroke and thank god it wasn’t but it is Bell’s palsy, they gave me antiviral and steroids right there and then and now I’m prescribed and taking it, I really hopes it a speedy recovery but dealing with nerves not working is a totally new experience…thank you for this video and for anyone and everyone who’s ever experienced it and is still going with it…my heart and prayers go to you…god bless
@@dominiquesilva2070 how are you now I got it 2 days ago I went to er yesterday got meds are you back to normal yet I’m afraid of how long it’s gonna last. It’s hard to drink or eat and my eye is the worse part
@@rolltide9135 I know it is pain with diagnosis. With the correct medication you should be better within 3-4weeks but nerves will take another few weeks. Be patient🙏
@@rolltide9135 good morning, I’m back to normal now but I do notice that my right eyebrow is just a little lower now than my left…but I can smile the same way and I can blink the same way…you have to do the face massages and exercise daily…to improve faster, it lasted about 2 1/2 weeks…it’s gonna be tough, not being able to see your face in the mirror but always have someone give you words to say with the letters B, P in them…and be careful when you eat, I bit my lips a few times and how to drink, I used a straw but make sure you bite on the straw to be able to suck on the straw…
My roommate came to me after waking up this morning experiencing the symptoms I was like yeah you’ll know if it’s a stroke I’ve had one and it happened very fast and very suddenly here’s is definitely Bell’s palsy, but I do feel really bad for him right now, because his side of the face was drooping quite a bit
Steve Johnston mine happened on Christmas Day night 😖 the eye is the worst part! It’s just so important to keep it moisturized and covered at night. I hate having this crap!
Casey F I think if there’s been any improvement it’s so little that I’m not really noticing any. I have had my doctor refer me to a neurologist to see if I can find anything out. I will keep y’all posted once I find out anything if it is helpful!
Black seed oil, mixed with cayenne pepper water, 2x daily, and get some castor oil, and a hot cloth (hot as you can stand) and hold it to your face, when the oil melt slow, slowly massage it on your face where it's droopy, 20 minutes every day.
@@btalib50 Awesome, I took shrooms last night, little over micro dose so not much and regained waaaay more function of my face, but went back to normal once the body high went off so maybe theres something with that also lol
Ive got bells palsy, and luckily we got steroids to treat it within 24h of it occurring. I had to do weird exercises where i continually smile, frown, blink, etc multiple times a day. I had to wear an eye patch at night while i slept to avoid damaging my eye since it wouldnt close, and it lasted more noticeably for about a month. I was very lucky and got treated for it quickly, after noticing that my right eye stopped blinking when my left did. The next day, i lost the ability to move the right side of my mouth at all. I remember it being painless, however, when i would sleep on my right side i had to rest my face gently because i had a strange pain in my jaw near my ear when i leaned too hard onto the right side of my face. It took at least a few months for that pain to go away fully. Ive been told theres no real idea of why it occurs, but that it can have something to do with things like lupus or other similar diseases and that even after going away, its been known to reoccur. I myself dont have an immune disease like lupus, but my mom does It was very strange to experience it to be honest, it felt like the muscles on the right side of my face completely atrophied and couldnt move at all
I had it in 2003. I sympathize. It never really went away. One side is still droopy, one eye looks smaller especiallywhen i smile. I am very self conscious about it. I wonder why there isn't a way to repair the droop or if it is possible.

I have fibromyalgia and with that I got bells pasly. On my left side so Being legally blind in my right , When my bells pasly acts up I can not see. , I've had the very frustrating facial peralises for years now.
Was just diagnosed 5 days ago, got placed on steroid and now antiviral med, since my neck is starting to harden a bit, Hoping to be better soon. Best thing to do is try not to panick and be as calm as possible .best of luck to everyone with this condition.
@@evacuevas5506 i got diagnosed 3days ago. face doesn’t listen to what my brains wants. i also found out i have herpes virus and it can cause bell palsy. hopefully we both recover by the end of 2023. we got this homie 😭
She has not recovered completely yet. If you slow down the video you can see she can’t completely close her left eye when blinking. Very concerning to see this as I found out “Bell’s palsy” occurred in 4 Covid-19 vaccine trial test subjects from the Pfizer study.
I got bills palsy about 5 or 6 years ago and I am still suffering from it I have never really recovered like some people may have so there are some of us that have this problem on an ongoing basis. It's just not as severe as when it first started where my right I would not close.
O dear I can feel you...i'm like this from my early childhood 3, to now 31 y o. I'm still very embarassed on every pictures my friends take etc...Even harder when your work is to welcome people with a huge and bright smile... :/
I had Bell’s palsy 2 years ago after a month of no movement I was given a B12 shot called Neurobian after 30 minutes of injection I felt a twitch I hope this information helps you as it helped me
Hi, after you got given the b12 shot did you regain movement back on your face and did it go back to looking how it used to? How did the b12 shot help you please?
Middle of night i went to the bathroom, right side of my mouth dropped, got appointment with my doctor I have a cold at the moment which is not helping
Funny how they are mentioning to get it checked out within 72 hours and when I called my doctors office, they were saying they had an availability in 7 days from symptoms… guess they don’t think it’s urgent.
At first I thought it was the end of the world for me but today I found the solution for the genital herpes. My deepest appreciation goes to Dr kanayo Peterson. U are indeed a blessing to the society
I have this condition ringing in 1 ear and now I feel nerve sensation discomfort sometimes on face , head or back and sometimes stiffness on side heads keeps changing no pain but this daily discomfort, went to chiropractor after adjustments 1st session all went fine for 1 month now itsback again, pls advice or anyone with same problems, pls help, thanks
i know this video was posted in 2018, and its now 2021, but i was first diagnosed with bells palsy at just 15 years back in 2015 and it came back again in 2017, 2020 and for the fourth time right now as i am typing this. My doctor is unable to tell me the reason i keep getting this and i was wondering if anyone on here has been told the actual reason this keeps happening to them?
YOU keep getting the Bell's Palsy ("2015, 2017, 2020 and right now") and so this shows to me you ARE very rundown and prone to getting everything. You NEED to get better and BUILD your body's immune response because your body is TELLING you, "we're not capable at the moment to fight anything that comes your way". LISTEN to your body - it is right. You need to get your health in better shape to handle ANY viruses that come your way. 1. You need to really get your health back and the ways to do that is REQUEST at least a couple of blood tests from your doctor to check the levels of your iron levels, Vitamin D3 levels and a Celiac Disease blood test - all of them are very inexpensive. 2. You need to get your body's IMMUNE defense better equipped to handle all your health issues and bring down any INFLAMMATION in your body. SUGGESTIONS: There are several ways, I, personally, would suggest of getting your body's IMMUNE defense better equipped to handle this Bell's Palsy "virus" and any other stress-related health issues you're going thru: 1. Taking a high dosage of Vitamin D3 supplements daily (15,000 IU's of Vitamin D3 daily). 2. Take (1) Magnesium Malate 425 mg X 2 times a day and (1) Vitamin K2/MK-7 90 mcg daily. I would not suggest taking a multi-vitamin as they have very low dosage amounts - you're are trying to FIGHT this virus and build up your immunity response at this time. 3. Eat healthier, cut out sugar (for the time being - it causes inflammation in the body) and cut out dairy too (also causes inflammation in the body too). 4. Very gentle facial exercises - you are trying to soothe and bring down the inflammation of the facial nerve. I, personally, take 15,000 IU's of Vitamin D3 daily, (1) Magnesium Malate 425 mg X 2 times a day and (1) Vitamin K2/MK-7 90 mcg daily. I have taken these for SEVERAL years now with NO bad side effects whatsoever. I've only had GOOD side effects (results) from taking these supplements. BUT, you RESEARCH yourself about these supplements I've listed. I hope this information helps you in YOUR journey back to good health. 😊💖💝
In 2014 one side of my face, took me 2 years to recover, then in 2018 the other side of my face and now in a sinkenises stage and im more depressed than ive ever been in all of my life...

@@stephanieschmick8469 "We think it's caused by a virus, the same virus that causes cold sores (Herpes Simplex 1). So, it's [the virus] probably been sitting in your system and gets reactivated usually by stressors or an illness that causes inflammation near the ear - [Bell's Palsy is an inflammation near the ear that causes paralysis of the facial nerves] 0:45." This is the BEST explanation of Bell's Palsy I've come across! Summed up: A virus ALREADY in your body; reactivates due to physical/mental stress or illness (another "stress" to the body) and causes INFLAMMATION in your body and in Bell's Palsy - inflammation in the facial nerve. YOU may not have had any cold sores EVER come to the surface of your face - BUT it could of been DORMANT and shown itself in other ways, such as feeling very rundown and just not well. Whether or not it's a cold sore - all the doctors seemed to be of the opinion, that it's a VIRUS, that's been activated and attacked the facial nerve. So, it seems you must bring down the INFLAMMATION in the facial nerve and HOW to do this is, by several ways (they're only MY suggestions - I'm not a doctor). SUGGESTIONS: There are several ways, I, personally, would suggest of getting your body's IMMUNE defense better equipped to handle this Bell's Palsy "virus" and alleviate its effects: 1. Taking a high dosage of Vitamin D3 supplements daily (15,000 IU's of Vitamin D3 daily). 2. Take (1) Magnesium Malate 425 mg X 2 times a day and (1) Vitamin K2/MK-7 90 mcg daily.

Autumn/Fall weather usually brings on viruses because of the abrupt changes in the weather patterns - the winds pick up and the cold weather increases and then sometimes the warm weather comes back for a few days too. All this erratic weather conditions it's hard for our bodies to adjust to this and it becomes "stressful" on the body and your immune system. Bell's Palsy is believed to be brought on stressors (physical, mental or illness) that reactivate a virus already in your body. One of the "physical" stressors that our bodies go through is the abrupt changes in the WEATHER and how our bodies capability to handles this physical stress on our bodies. I would get cold sores (a virus) whenever it was very windy (swirly winds would really get to me); when it was very hot out and I stayed out too long in the sun; and the Spring time would be another time for me to get the cold sores too. It seems to me, that Autumn/Fall seems to be the season when MORE people come down with Bell's Palsy (and cold sores too) because of the abrupt change (though nice change - beautiful too) in the weather patterns - the winds pick up and the cold weather increases and then sometimes the warm weather comes back for a few days too. So, very erratic weather patterns happen. Therefore, "outside" physical stressors happen to our bodies. RESEARCH about taking Vitamin D3 supplements and how it can help with your immunity and bring down the INFLAMMATION in your body (and facial nerves).💖💝

I was diagnosed a few days ago. I think back to at least 6-9 months. I had knots up the right side of my neck, and behind my ear. They were painful to the touch. Just went to the Ozark Mountains last week. I also have hearing aids. After about 2 days being back home, I started having the worst ear pain. Now after going to the ER Tuesday. The knots aren’t in my neck anymore. I’m wondering if that’s what caused this, there must have been some kind of infection building up. I can’t stretch my foot up behind my ear though.😵💫🥴
Have had it many times first time 37 years ago and flared up again at the weekend I get the most annoying tic in my eye but I've got the anti inflammatory s now

I got when I was kid.. still cry out of my eye when I eat lol and my eye is blurry .. don't know if it caused it or not since I wasn't made to patch/tape my eye closed
And my lip moves when I blink 😅 and a droopy undereye bag only on the one side. I feel less alone cause I've never met anyone else who's ever gotten it
@@regularwhatever4986 well mine took about 2 weeks to get back, I suggest you do some facial exercises it's not a big problem yo u just need to do some facial exercises I will hold my lip that's down and smile with the other, I will hold my eyebrown that was down and try to make an angry expression at the same time since even my blinking was off
@@regularwhatever4986 mine took a long time, it’s still not completely straight now, my smile is wonky and back camera photos my face is slanted :( makes me very self conscious. But not everyone is the same, I’d say to be able to close my eye and smile properly it was around 14 months. I hope it’s sooner for you
I just was diagnosed today and I was soooo emotional about the sudden change in my face I just pray for full recovery. This is really a hard thing to go through😥
Looks like we got diagnoses at the same time. Its my second week on steroids and Antivirals, no signs of recovery yet. My smile still crooked ! How do you feel and what are you doing to make things better?
@@Namanyapaul1 Hows it so far now? I wish you guys for the best recovery
@@gansuringagaru Hullo, I have been meaning to give an update here but been caught up with work and school. But I have attained around 90% healing. The steroids and antivirals were a great help with the pain at the back of the ear. Thanks everyone here for sharing their story and progress, it would have been much harder to cope with had it not been for this resource video. Thanks everyone, thanks so much.
@@Namanyapaul1 thats great to hear! Im on my 3rd day. Please wish me for a speedy recovery too
@@gansuringagaru Hey, don't worry, you will heal too. Its a condition that really takes its time to heal. For that matter, don't keep yourself in doors. There's so much beauty outside, go see it.🤓
You will start seeing serious improvement in the third week.
** I truly hope someone can read this & gain hope** but you WILL BE OKAY. I remember when I first got it.. I was super down and scared. But I knew eventually it would go away. Staying positive is the first step. I first got it December 13th 2022. Now it’s Jan 5th and I’m about 90% healed. Take your medication, take your b12, run hot water on your face (every single) shower, do face exercises, massage your face & stay positive. That’s what I did. Don’t just sit around and let it run it’s course. Doing those little things HELP TREMENDOUSLY.. If you want it gone sooner than later then you have to go above & beyond. I even got acupunctures done. You’ll be okay I promise. Hopefully this helps someone 💛 you’re beautiful!
Hi, did you take steroids? I was just prescribed with B12 and exercise. Don't know if it will speed up the recovery, I also have physical theraphist. How are you now?
@@remj.3583 I’m recovered. Took me about 3 weeks or so. I was prescribed prednisone & valtrax. Keep doing the exercises (multiple times per day) avoid ice or super cold drinks and apply heat to the side that’s affected daily.
I have respect for this reporter. Brave to share this.
Hi I just got diagnosed 15 days ago. I’m also from SA. I remember when your story came out . Now here I am experiencing it . I hope to recover soon. Thank you for sharing xoxo
I had my Bell’s palsy for 1 month and 2 weeks after my steroids and meds I was left with exercise my face and take vitamins so I got desperate and took Dolo neurobion injection B12 after 10 to 15 minutes of injection I felt a twitch on my left side of face and recovered quick I hope this information helps you
@@gilbertvaquera4524 i got bells palsy. What do i need to do to get better? Cause i am scared right now
am in the same situation right now ,may the Lord God protect us and ill those who are experiencing this kind of sickness in JESUS NAME
@@lynnlynnson4921 Go to the doctor. I got Bell's palsy when i was grade 7 in year 2015, all i remember we we're swimming in the pool that time.
I was born with Bells Palsy and I have tried my whole life to feel normal every where I have gone I have had it pointed out but no help thank you for doing your story it has helped me a lot see things a little better!
Try Acupuncture. It does work for me. Don't give up, Guys. All the best.
God bless you
I've had Bells-palsey twice. Once at 14 and again at 21. Each time it took about six months to regain muscle control. I am now 44, still have crooked smile, can't pucker. The eye on my affected side still shows weakness. If I laugh suddenly or too much I get muscle cramps alongside my neck. I was put on steroids the first time at 14. Doctors just said was a virus. I'm glad that my face does not drooping. It's a difficult thing to go through.
Ana De los santos now that I’ve been informed about this disorder. I say a prayer for all people whom have suffered from this disorder 🙏🏽
6 months!!??
@@killerbee792 i went through the same and it took me 6 months to be able to smile again ..
I have the same issue but i had it once.. When i cry i tear from one eye the other eye is weak..
Which virus? Herpes 1 or Epstein Barr?
Diagnosed yesterday.. this is terrifying but videos like this give hope
Hey i diagnosed this 3 days ago i also don't feel the taste of anything did this happen to you same?
@@waqasnaseer6343 I didn't lose my sense of taste (thankfully). I'm sorry that happened to you.
i was diagnosed 19 days ago, and now im about 80% recovering
I'm so happy for you
You are lucky
I’m similar....have you recovered 100% now?
@@rickiehoxton have you recovered fully mate I was diagnosed 4 days ago 😢
what did you do. to recover. thanks. im experiencing that 4 days ago. i notice i cannot pronounce easily the f b c p. when toothbrushing the water in my mouth out. thanks
What a great and brave thing to share. I really appreciate this video. Recently diagnosed with Bells Palsy and wasn't getting what I needed from the doctors being doctors and talking over me instead of to another doctor!! Some of us just want to know what's to come and what we can do to get better. So I would like to thank you so much for sharing. I now understand what's going to be to come!! I was so worried and to hear a real honest person that really has and is going thru it or has gone thru it gives me hope and knowledge that I can and will recover. I hope lol feels helpless at the present moment. Thank u again for sharing
Thanks Myra for sharing. Wishing you a speedy 100% recovery!
i know im randomly asking but does anybody know a trick to get back into an instagram account..?
I somehow lost my account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me
Thanks for sharing this, my mum suffered from the safe and it was terrifying this is comforting
I am going through it now and was diagnosed about two weeks ago, I just hope that my recovery is sooner than later. It’s very hard not being able to eat correctly or speak to people in person without feeling self conscious. It’s definitely hard to be strong but I have to keep stress levels down to heal quicker.
Was diagnosed 3 days ago, trying everything to feel normal again.
How long did it take you to fully recover
I was just diagnosed Saturday evening...woke up and thought I was having a stroke, glad it wasn't, but I'm still adjusting to eating, drinking, sleeping, etc. It sucks really bad! I don't enjoy eating or drinking anymore, it's such a chore when everything comes back out the weak side 😔 here's to a hopeful short recovery.
YBS praying for a speedy recovery for you 🙏🏾💕🎆
@@killerbee792 I was diagnosed on March 16th. It was getting better and last week it transitioned to the other side of my face. It is extremely frustrating.
@@allisan25 Hope you will recover soon as possible ❤️❤️
Mine took me a whole year
I got it the first time as a teen on my left side, never fully recovered. Have weakness on the whole of my left side, can’t smile and my eye looks smaller. My left side also twitches if I smile big or laugh unexpectedly. I just got it again two days ago but on my right side. This time I wen to the doctor right away to get on meds. I pray to God I heal this time because it’s going to be a very difficult thing to accept that fact that I may never have control of my face ever again and never be able to show emotion 😔
How did it go??
Try Acupuncture. It does work for me. Don't give up, Guys. All the best.
Same,after 2 years my one eye is smaller, and when i smile goes smaller
Treatment for Bell's palsy by Dr. Joel wallach & Dr. Ma Lan
Bell's Palsy it is the sudden drooping of one side of the face due to an inflammation, swelling, or squeezing (the result of osteoporosis) of the "facial" nerve (the 7th cranial nerve as it passes through the skull) Bell's palsy is often mistaken for a stroke because of the sudden onset. Numbness in partial or total loss of muscular control on the affected side of the face are the typical signs and symptoms. Treated properly, there can be as much as an 80% chance of significant recovery. Treatment is B12 at 1000 mcg /day for a total of 20,000 mcg, calcium slash magnesium at 2000 mg an 800 mg per day, essential fatty acids at 5 gm t.i.d., and American ginseng ( Panax quinquefolius). Colloidal minerals are useful. Treat for osteoporosis with Dr Joel wallach's pig arthritis formula.
This information is from the book Dead Doctors Don't lie! Dr. Joel Wallach & Dr. Ma Lan
I had it for 2 days. I gave myself b12 injections twice per day. And other minerals. Freaked me out but got better quickly
Just was diagnosed this morning. I woke up to my left side numb then it moved to my right and started pulling. I went straight to my doctor. On my journey to a full recovery.
I was also diagnosed 6 days ago. How are you doing? This has been very hard on me 😔
Did you both recover?
I just found out I have it. Thank you for posting .!
I’m just so glad I’m not alone in this 💕
Thank you for sharing I know how you feel. I had Bell's palsy symptoms on my way to airport on my vacation. All I can say the mix feelings I was having trying to understand what was going on, why I couldn't wash my mouth, suck from straw my soda and so on was to much I was in critical care. I thank the almighty, Drs, nurses therapists at Kissimmee hosp God bless them all I will visit in near future. I wish the best for you and your recovery cause you look beautiful. First time I talk about this subject publicly cause if you haven't had this terrible experience you won't understand my feelings. God bless you and great job talking about this matter. People can hurt with comments, jokes etc. 🙏😘😪👍
Good day.
I am just learning about this
I am just wondering how does a person have food intake, or is it just liquid diet.
Much appreciate you help.
I went through this yes it’s horrible! I had no one to make fun of me thank God for that! I am sorry if someone did to you they don’t know what it feels like til it happens to them!
i am on round 2 of Bell's, started for me again 5 days ago, my first time some 12 or 13 years ago, i did a lot of reading and here is what i learned, behind your inner ear is a flat bone with a tiny pin hole and a nerve, your 7th cranial nerve the size of a human hair travels through this hole, when the nerve is infected it swells and is pinched inside the pin hole restricting signals to the affected side, if you get Bell's it is not the end of the world, especially if this is what God had in store for you, or me, at least it is not a stroke. also keep in mind when you pass that half smile off to someone, you are only giving them a half smile just in case you were not sincere, i had to come back and add how important it is to keep trying to force those muscles to work, i know from experiance its hard because it feels like your brain is struggling and tellig you its not happening, use your hands and push in the places like winking your eye, push it up with your hand until the muscle gets the control again, i over came this once and i will do it again,,,,, I Hope.
I commented 4 weeks ago today is july 3rd and i can see the forehead lines starting to come back when i lift my eyebrows up and slight movement in my cheek muscles, i can not wink, or full smile, it's like my brain can't find the trigger to tell the muscles to move
Seems like a cruel joke
I suffered from this last year. And its true you'll avoid mirrors because you don't recognize your face and you'll avoid people because you feel deformed. I have now recovered but I can no longer whistle like I used to which I did daily to get through work and my face is forever changed, others may not be able to see the slight droop of my left eye or occasionally speaking with only the right side of my lips but I notice. Hopefully it gets better
Try Acupuncture. It does work for me. Don't give up, Guys. All the best.
I feel for you. I can see the residual muscles are affected. I woke up with it in 2014, I didn't have any treatment because of a poor diagnoses. Unaware it must be treated within 72 hrs, I struggled for a two and a half months before I could produce a slight smile. I slept with an eye patch for over a month and taped my eye shut when I shampooed my hair. It's 2022 and I still don't have full recovery. Maybe 75%. I also developed synkinesis where my nerves crossed in the healing. (When I shut my eyes, the top corner of my mouth gets tugged)... you actually look beautiful, even though, being afflicted by it, I can see it's apparent. I lost my beautiful smile and bright eyes.
72 hours i believe you have been misinformed, it's my understanding there is no known treatment for Bell's Palsy. Sure Dr's and ER's will give you pills to swallow but i saw no changes from these medicines Dr.s have told me there's no known treatment for Bell's it has to run its course, i am sitting here now 4 weeks in and only a couple day's ago i started seeing movements this is my 2nd run with this, my oldest sister had it her face is still drooping on one side, my aunt had it on both sides and both sides never recovered
Thank You for sharing your experience.
Her hair is amazing
I appreciate your video. I just got diagnosed today .
I noticed a couple years ago, only when watching video of myself, that the left side of my face doesn't move as much as the right side, and I wasn't sure if it had always been like that, or if it happened since my root canals, when I had terrible pain in my jaw and head on that said of my face, from dental infection due to starvation, due to divorce and abuse stress. The left side is still weak, but no one said anything to me about how I look, and I've never consulted a doctor about it. I'm glad I'm not the only one who's had this. I wonder if it's Bell's Palsy and if I can improve it with facial exercises... There was a time when I had to open my eye(s) with my hand... I thought it was dry eye.
At Christmas 1996 vacationing in Florida I had bell's palsy, and the following Easter I got it on the other side of my face. I didn't do any therapy, I was young enough that it heald quickly, however I had to wear sunglasses for 8 months because the bright light was hard on the eyes. I was 29, at first I thought I was having a stroke. I got insurance before going to Florida from Canada, and when Kissimmee hospital found out I had insurance, they gave me the works lol. Cost to insurance was $2,800
Just had this happen as health problems on top God bless you xxxxxxxx
I was diagnosed with this four days ago and honestly it's scary ASF. They claim this is caused by a virus, chicken pox, herpes hsv1, that the ear will be some what inflamed. I honestly don't think that's it, for me i believe it has to do with my sinuses. Ive been having sinus problems for years and chronic conjunctivitis, which has never gone away. The last month my nose was inflamed and it hurt. Unfortunately before I got this i was constantly wearing nose strips, 247. And i think that's what caused my Bell's palsy. Not taking the strip off and leaving it on for 24 hours a day isn't to bright. I'm on steroids and antiviral meds, i pray this isn't permanent.
Also, never pop pimples in the T zone area.
How are you doing now?
@@kathleenkathleen6381 It's back to normal, thank God .The only thing that's taking longer to bounce back is my smile. Since my right side had paralyzed it paralyzed my smile as well, now it's just a little crooked. But not like it was when this first occurred.
Thank you for asking.
I'm happy for you. I hope your smile returns soon.
@@kathleenkathleen6381 Thank you, so do I.
I was diagnosed a few months ago believe me it was not easy my emotions was all over the place the place but thank god I still have life and still healing
Got mine April 1,2019 and still have it May 2020 did the steroids, exercises, took a lot B12 now going to therapy and I’m still the same no results so I’m hoping still for recovery. I’m a smiler and haven’t ever seen. But over all I’m in good health.
Have you tried Dolo neurobion injection B12 it helped me I hope this information is helpful
Gilbert Vaquera yes 3 shots and nothing. Thank you for your response
larahs15 ok tried to help cause it can be frustrating
If stressors trigger Bell’s palsy have you tried meditation, 6 breaths a minute breathing exercises like the ones Blood Pressure patients use to reverse their issues? Diet change as well.
Try Acupuncture. It does work for me. Don't give up, Guys. All the best.
I’ve also was previously diagnosed with Bels Palsy in 7th grade! I was terrified and knew something was wrong, It was kindof hard for my mom to physically tell at first😢 no medication was prescribed but it went away 2-3 weeks later and in the information the Dr gave was that if you get it again your chances of it going away are slim …
Please also try "EARTHING" which is putting your bare feet or hands on the "damp" earth/grass/sand. The Earth continuously provides free electrons which reduces inflammation in the body on contact. Do it daily; the longer the better! Wanted to put this out there for anyone desperate to get better. It's free, it can't hurt you and it's worth a try. Good luck!
Thank you for this information. I think this is the reason why KD Lang is often on stage with bare feet.
Does it work on the beach as well?
@@shanikpakeer Yes the beach is very conductive :)
@@jayceec3178 the stage materials are insulated and so are not conductive to the Earth, however, it is possible that KD is used to benefiting by being barefoot on the Earth so she does it on stage as well.
Thank you
My cousin just started going threw this last week. Scared us all at first
I was diagnosed with bell’s palsy 5 years. Back when I was pregnant with my daughter, after taking TDAP vaccinations.
For 3 days I couldn’t understand what had happened to me because I never knew about bells palsy in my life or saw someone who had it.
But thanks God what helped me is Accupuncture & B12 and antiviral herbs.
Almost 90% recovered.
I just took steroid for a week because it’s very unsafe more than that.
Will Pray for everyone that our lord may bless you all and heal you Amen.
Hi, glad that you've made a strong recovery and thanks for your prayers. Could you tell me which antiviral herbs you were taking? Thank you

Praise the lord
It was elder berry syrup, Echinacea
Vitamin b12
Zinc
Accupuncture
Warm Coconut oil with crushed garlic heated and massage
And of course prayers 🙏🙏🙏.

@@Chaitralisa123 hi, can I have acupuncture, take b12 shots and also have natural herbs whilst also taking my steroids that I’ve been prescribed? I want to start acupuncture right away, b12 shots right away and natural herbs right away but I have been prescribed on steroids for the first week. Should I wait until my steroids are finished and then start acupuncture, b12 and natural remedies or do you suggest I start everything all at once?

What was your recovery time? And when did you see first signs of recovery?
I was diagnosed yesterday October 24 2021 with Bell’s palsy and it’s scary waking up one day and not being able to move or feel my face
I notice a drop on my eyebrow and I couldn’t smile perfectly and went to the er, I got a slight drop on my right side. The doctor checked if it was a stroke and thank god it wasn’t but it is Bell’s palsy, they gave me antiviral and steroids right there and then and now I’m prescribed and taking it, I really hopes it a speedy recovery but dealing with nerves not working is a totally new experience…thank you for this video and for anyone and everyone who’s ever experienced it and is still going with it…my heart and prayers go to you…god bless

Thanks physical therapy exercise help so much
What kind of therapy did u do?? Ive has it for 4 months and haven’t recovered..Any advise would be appreciated…
My roommate came to me after waking up this morning experiencing the symptoms I was like yeah you’ll know if it’s a stroke I’ve had one and it happened very fast and very suddenly here’s is definitely Bell’s palsy, but I do feel really bad for him right now, because his side of the face was drooping quite a bit
You can still have a mini stroke though. So he should have still gone to the ER

Just came from hospital and diagnosed with Bell’s palsy. I’m so worried and I’m hoping that I recover fast.
I have had Bell’s for 8 days now. Mine came down Christmas Eve in the evening. How are you doing? Not blinking my eye has been the worst part for me.
Hey I’ve had it for 2 days how are y’all doing after a few weeks
Steve Johnston mine happened on Christmas Day night 😖 the eye is the worst part! It’s just so important to keep it moisturized and covered at night. I hate having this crap!
Casey F I think if there’s been any improvement it’s so little that I’m not really noticing any. I have had my doctor refer me to a neurologist to see if I can find anything out. I will keep y’all posted once I find out anything if it is helpful!

Had it for about 3 week's, but I (thank God) I treated myself, and now I'm back doing music, and other events that takes me using my face.
How did ya treat it?
Black seed oil, mixed with cayenne pepper water, 2x daily, and get some castor oil, and a hot cloth (hot as you can stand) and hold it to your face, when the oil melt slow, slowly massage it on your face where it's droopy, 20 minutes every day.
@@btalib50 how long did it take?
It took me a week, before I can feel/see a difference, but staying persistent is the key
@@btalib50 Awesome, I took shrooms last night, little over micro dose so not much and regained waaaay more function of my face, but went back to normal once the body high went off so maybe theres something with that also lol
Was diagnosed today!
The reporter Myra is extraordinarily beautiful (not so the Rodriguez therapist)
Ive got bells palsy, and luckily we got steroids to treat it within 24h of it occurring. I had to do weird exercises where i continually smile, frown, blink, etc multiple times a day. I had to wear an eye patch at night while i slept to avoid damaging my eye since it wouldnt close, and it lasted more noticeably for about a month.
I was very lucky and got treated for it quickly, after noticing that my right eye stopped blinking when my left did. The next day, i lost the ability to move the right side of my mouth at all. I remember it being painless, however, when i would sleep on my right side i had to rest my face gently because i had a strange pain in my jaw near my ear when i leaned too hard onto the right side of my face. It took at least a few months for that pain to go away fully.
Ive been told theres no real idea of why it occurs, but that it can have something to do with things like lupus or other similar diseases and that even after going away, its been known to reoccur. I myself dont have an immune disease like lupus, but my mom does
It was very strange to experience it to be honest, it felt like the muscles on the right side of my face completely atrophied and couldnt move at all
The tool at Spa’s Clarisonic can be used to help with Bell’s Palsy
I have one, how does it help?
I am sorry I went through this it’s horrible! May God give recovery to all!❤️🩹🙏
This is not a temporary scenario situation because people may get better but only to a certain degree for the rest of their life and still have it.
Just discover I had it a few days ago do you have to take treatment everyday like your tablets
Get to the doctor asap… sooner you treat, the quicker you heal
I had it in 2003. I sympathize. It never really went away. One side is still droopy, one eye looks smaller especiallywhen i smile. I am very self conscious about it. I wonder why there isn't a way to repair the droop or if it is possible.
Let me tell you I’ve had this and it’s scary as hell not know if your face will go back to normal or not it’s horrific
Accupuncture healed me completely ! 4 sessions.
Please could you tell me sir is physiotherapy good for bells palsy

Good thing for me
Here because of embiid
She has not recovered completely yet. If you slow down the video you can see she can’t completely close her left eye when blinking. Very concerning to see this as I found out “Bell’s palsy” occurred in 4 Covid-19 vaccine trial test subjects from the Pfizer study.
I just came down with bell palsy 2 days ago and I never took the vaccine
Just got it!
Was diagnosed with this Monday...
I had Bell’s palsy when I was 7 months pregnant 20 years ago I did not recover my face is still drooping on one side
I got bills palsy about 5 or 6 years ago and I am still suffering from it I have never really recovered like some people may have so there are some of us that have this problem on an ongoing basis. It's just not as severe as when it first started where my right I would not close.
Same here! It's been 4 years now, and it's very difficult.

Did you get it from the jab? If do was it worth it? Will you get another one?
Funny how they are mentioning to get it checked out within 72 hours and when I called my doctors office, they were saying they had an availability in 7 days from symptoms… guess they don’t think it’s urgent.

i know this video was posted in 2018, and its now 2021, but i was first diagnosed with bells palsy at just 15 years back in 2015 and it came back again in 2017, 2020 and for the fourth time right now as i am typing this. My doctor is unable to tell me the reason i keep getting this and i was wondering if anyone on here has been told the actual reason this keeps happening to them?
YOU keep getting the Bell's Palsy ("2015, 2017, 2020 and right now") and so this shows to me you ARE very rundown and prone to getting everything. You NEED to get better and BUILD your body's immune response because your body is TELLING you, "we're not capable at the moment to fight anything that comes your way". LISTEN to your body - it is right.
You need to get your health in better shape to handle ANY viruses that come your way.
1. You need to really get your health back and the ways to do that is REQUEST at least a couple of blood tests from your doctor to check the levels of your iron levels, Vitamin D3 levels and a Celiac Disease blood test - all of them are very inexpensive.
2. You need to get your body's IMMUNE defense better equipped to handle all your health issues and bring down any INFLAMMATION in your body.
SUGGESTIONS: There are several ways, I, personally, would suggest of getting your body's IMMUNE defense better equipped to handle this Bell's Palsy "virus" and any other stress-related health issues you're going thru:
1. Taking a high dosage of Vitamin D3 supplements daily (15,000 IU's of Vitamin D3 daily).
2. Take (1) Magnesium Malate 425 mg X 2 times a day and (1) Vitamin K2/MK-7 90 mcg daily. I would not suggest taking a multi-vitamin as they have very low dosage amounts - you're are trying to FIGHT this virus and build up your immunity response at this time.
3. Eat healthier, cut out sugar (for the time being - it causes inflammation in the body) and cut out dairy too (also causes inflammation in the body too).
4. Very gentle facial exercises - you are trying to soothe and bring down the inflammation of the facial nerve.
I, personally, take 15,000 IU's of Vitamin D3 daily, (1) Magnesium Malate 425 mg X 2 times a day and (1) Vitamin K2/MK-7 90 mcg daily. I have taken these for SEVERAL years now with NO bad side effects whatsoever. I've only had GOOD side effects (results) from taking these supplements. BUT, you RESEARCH yourself about these supplements I've listed.
I hope this information helps you in YOUR journey back to good health. 😊💖💝
@@tillygirl7450 i’ve had my bloods taken already and waiting for the results, im due an mri scan too but thank you for your comment!
In 2014 one side of my face, took me 2 years to recover, then in 2018 the other side of my face and now in a sinkenises stage and im more depressed than ive ever been in all of my life... I've stopped being myself, and I am someone that I do not even know anymore.... I hide in my bedroom, I dont look people in the face, I dont eat out in public or infront of anyone.... I PHYSICALLY CANT MAKE A SMILE ON MY FACE.... It just WONT WORK.... I need serious help....
....note: I dont get cold sores and I dont have herpies, so I need some other explanation as to what unlying problem is causing this...
@@stephanieschmick8469 "We think it's caused by a virus, the same virus that causes cold sores (Herpes Simplex 1). So, it's [the virus] probably been sitting in your system and gets reactivated usually by stressors or an illness that causes inflammation near the ear - [Bell's Palsy is an inflammation near the ear that causes paralysis of the facial nerves] 0:45."
This is the BEST explanation of Bell's Palsy I've come across!
Summed up: A virus ALREADY in your body; reactivates due to physical/mental stress or illness (another "stress" to the body) and causes INFLAMMATION in your body and in Bell's Palsy - inflammation in the facial nerve.
YOU may not have had any cold sores EVER come to the surface of your face - BUT it could of been DORMANT and shown itself in other ways, such as feeling very rundown and just not well.
Whether or not it's a cold sore - all the doctors seemed to be of the opinion, that it's a VIRUS, that's been activated and attacked the facial nerve. So, it seems you must bring down the INFLAMMATION in the facial nerve and HOW to do this is, by several ways (they're only MY suggestions - I'm not a doctor).

I've read low immune system and stress can be a cause...good luck
I also had bell's palsy there when I was still in grade 7. all I remember is when we were swimming at the resort
Hello! I got bell's palsy 2 weeks ago.
Autumn/Fall weather usually brings on viruses because of the abrupt changes in the weather patterns - the winds pick up and the cold weather increases and then sometimes the warm weather comes back for a few days too. All this erratic weather conditions it's hard for our bodies to adjust to this and it becomes "stressful" on the body and your immune system.
Bell's Palsy is believed to be brought on stressors (physical, mental or illness) that reactivate a virus already in your body. One of the "physical" stressors that our bodies go through is the abrupt changes in the WEATHER and how our bodies capability to handles this physical stress on our bodies.
I would get cold sores (a virus) whenever it was very windy (swirly winds would really get to me); when it was very hot out and I stayed out too long in the sun; and the Spring time would be another time for me to get the cold sores too. It seems to me, that Autumn/Fall seems to be the season when MORE people come down with Bell's Palsy (and cold sores too) because of the abrupt change (though nice change - beautiful too) in the weather patterns - the winds pick up and the cold weather increases and then sometimes the warm weather comes back for a few days too. So, very erratic weather patterns happen. Therefore, "outside" physical stressors happen to our bodies.
RESEARCH about taking Vitamin D3 supplements and how it can help with your immunity and bring down the INFLAMMATION in your body (and facial nerves).💖💝
We in Saudi Arabia are treated with alternative, folk medicine. There are people who specialize in folk medicine. The foot is folded over the nerve under the ear and pops, and within 15 days it is finally cured, but by people with experience in folded face.
I was diagnosed a few days ago. I think back to at least 6-9 months. I had knots up the right side of my neck, and behind my ear. They were painful to the touch. Just went to the Ozark Mountains last week. I also have hearing aids. After about 2 days being back home, I started having the worst ear pain. Now after going to the ER Tuesday. The knots aren’t in my neck anymore. I’m wondering if that’s what caused this, there must have been some kind of infection building up. I can’t stretch my foot up behind my ear though.😵💫🥴
Have had it many times first time 37 years ago and flared up again at the weekend I get the most annoying tic in my eye but I've got the anti inflammatory s now
Try Acupuncture. It does work for me. Don't give up, Guys. All the best.
I just was diagnosed two days ago it’s awful 😢 hopefully it doesn’t last long it’s so uncomfortable it has made me so so depressed and my eye and ear hurt so much.
Its my second week on steroids and Antivirals, no signs of recovery yet. My smile still crooked ! How do you feel and what are you doing to make things better?
@@Namanyapaul1 oh wow I’m so sorry to hear that I try to do exercises with my face and take the medication but I don’t see any changes but I will continue to trust God This too shall pass I truly believe it . Prayers for you 🙏🏾
@@brownskin1267 Thanks for the feedback. After two weeks on medication, I just started feeling twitches on my left cheek. I guess that's a sign😶.
It'll pass!

I had a terrible cold sore this weekend, I woke up with half of my mouth numb😢
artificial tears! lubricant eye drops r important!
Hey i diagnosed this few days ago but what I'm feeling right now i cant taste anything and its feels so bad. Does it happen to anyone else ?
I was diagnosed last week Tues. Same thing for me taste is off. My tongue has a tingling feeling like when you stick it on a 9v battery as a kid. Not sure about everyone else but my left eye is blurry constantly.
The static is killing this segment 😂😂😂
I got when I was kid.. still cry out of my eye when I eat lol and my eye is blurry .. don't know if it caused it or not since I wasn't made to patch/tape my eye closed
And my lip moves when I blink 😅 and a droopy undereye bag only on the one side. I feel less alone cause I've never met anyone else who's ever gotten it
The new vampire vaccines are causing bell's palsy
I had it since last week Wednesday first time haveing it
I had this when I was 14, so scary
I'm 15 and i have it right now
I’m 16 I have it now
When did your face go back to normal how long did it take?
@@regularwhatever4986 well mine took about 2 weeks to get back, I suggest you do some facial exercises it's not a big problem yo u just need to do some facial exercises I will hold my lip that's down and smile with the other, I will hold my eyebrown that was down and try to make an angry expression at the same time since even my blinking was off
@@regularwhatever4986 mine took a long time, it’s still not completely straight now, my smile is wonky and back camera photos my face is slanted :( makes me very self conscious. But not everyone is the same, I’d say to be able to close my eye and smile properly it was around 14 months. I hope it’s sooner for you
I can tell she is still recovering by her lower lip
