I think I'm where you are. I got BP in 1996. After 27 years, I might be feeling a bit more movement in my forehead so I'm researching again and found your videos. Thanks for making them. I've accepted that I won't recover 100%, but any little improvement, I'll take. I also may have done damage trying too much in the early periods with accupuncture and other treatments. I may also have massaged my face too hard. It's been a hell of a journey, but it's made me stronger.
I am nearly 60 and have been very lucky, because I have never had a illness in my life (apart from colds and flu (twice)). But then 4 months ago I got Bell's Palsy, and I found it very difficult to handle. After a tough time it is now 95% healed, but in the very early days I couldn't find much useful info anywhere. Then I found your videos, and I just wanted to let you know how helpful they have been. Very clear and down-to-earth, and so much more positive than I usually felt! Thanks!!
Hi, The reason I am following you on You Tube is because my daughter, who is 38 years old, woke up with Bells Palsy. You have helped us learn so much about the progression of this " affliction"! I am sure we have seen you as you have tried to help others know what to expect in the physical realm, but I was wondering if you could talk about the emotional side of dealing with Bells Palsy on a daily basis. It helps to know that you are not alone, and that others are going through similar experiences. I think you are a very good teacher and I want to say, Thank you.
I am glad that I watched your video. So much of what you described is what I have experienced. I am on year 5 and I am still trying to come to terms with my new look. Thank you for doing this video.
am glad you are better .i watched every single of your video and took your advice .i let my body heal itself and it worked out for me .i am 85 % healed. about the permanent damage ,i was worried too and talked to my doctor and she said that it is already damaged and it doesn't get worse than it is .Thank you :)
wow your recovery is great. so happy for you. BP really sucks. like Edna Parker, my eyes are extremely sensitive to everything. eye drops often seems to help and also physically closing it for a few minutes while trying to relax my face helps also. I have started to tape my eye shut during sleep and that seems to help make it feel better in the mornings. positive attitude I believe is extremely important. thanks for all your videos Jessica. and to all affected hang in there be positive.
My father was just recently (this morning) diagnosed with this condition and I freaked out and thought he was having or had a stroke or something. By watching some of you videos to make sure that one "knows" what they are talking about, and You are the one. I am actually taking notes and informing my dad about this condition. Thank you Very much!!
All this time I thought I had a minor stroke but looking back I now know it had to be Bell's Palsy. I was incredibly stressed out and the right side of my face hasn't been the same. I will start doing these exercises to help. You look amazing and have given me hope.
I am so glad that you did NOT have a stroke! I wonder if your doctor could have given you a proper diagnosis? I wish you a future of good health and happiness! :)
wow i just watched your day 2 bells palsy video. you have come a long way with it and got a lot better. its a bump on the road that it makes the person stronger and wiser in life. i hope you continue to being positive in everything.
Jessica, I remember talking to you on the bell's forum.. I had bell's just 3 weeks before you...the guy who's your age from Canada, East Coast. Anyway, I have healed completely except I have synkinesis in my eyebrow when making an O shape with my lips. I also started exercising immediately and sincerely believe that stress brought on my case. I log in from time to time to check up on you, and I must say you look great! Very attractive. Keep it up.
My doctor said the same thing how I'm young and should be gone a few days. I'm a little scared, but looking at your videos have given me hope that I can get thru this. Thank you and very well put on everything you've said. Thank you.
+Benny Hill Unfortunately doctors don't know really what's going on inside of your body... but being younger is a plus, because it gives you much longer time frame to heal!!! You will get through this, stay positive and never lose hope!
Looking good Jess! I haven't been on in forever. I feel the same way about just accepting my new face! I don't let it get to me too much. I have been taking Vitamin B12 and that actually makes my face twinge in a good way. So I recommend that if you aren't taking it. Take Care! Julie
Pain isn't always associated with Bell's Palsy, but in MY CASE it was! I had pain for 3 days... which started 3 days after onset. I did NOT get headaches, but that does not strike me as abnormal for such a condition. Be patient, rest and relax. Your body is sick right now, and you need time for this to recover!
this video was great. Im recovered 95% from it! It bothers every blue moon, but i thank God for healing me as much as possible, it could of been worse. PS. you look great. I see the little damage because i have it too, but if i saw you on the street, i w ould of never known. Have a great day!
I am recovering from a sever case. I couldn't move my mouth at all for 4 months. Is been a year now and I have gained back maybe 90% of movement but now I'm dealing with synkinesis. Do you still have it or did it go away? I've read where it can take a year or two for synkinesis to resolve.
I also have Bell's Palsy and it has been a nightmare. You are right about the medical profession. You rarely get good answers. I feel that I have been so blown off it's not funny. This facial paralysis is has ruined my life. If you break a leg a Dr. will set it. You only find out information as you go along trying to find answers. These people have no idea what it is like walking around with a deformed face.
I've just watched your video with interest. I'm six months in from a BP attack and am a little behind you in that the affected side of my mouth is still a bit sluggish when talking. The tone in my facial tissue has returned, but with it has come eye/mouth synkinesis. When the BP hit, I went rushing off to acupuncturists, facial reflexologists and chiropractors. But of course, it was a total waste of money as recovery is totally dependant on the Cranial 7th nerve repairing itself. Take care. JB
Hi, I got Bells Palsy 6 months ago on both sides of my face. One side is much improved but I'm still struggling with the opposite side. Just trying to eat is difficult unless the food is quite soft. My ability to taste has been greatly affected, with food tasting either too salty, too sweet or bitter. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I also wanted to say that your videos are helpful, just in knowing that it does take time and to not expect the kind of recovery the doctors assured me I would experience. I will continue to watch your progress. Thank you for sharing.
I had just told my husband that I might need my food blended up now. I always ate slower than everyone else but now it is even slower. My attack happened on August 7, 2018 and I am still having trouble thinking or functioning. Also...I still quite often have pain with it.
I did not. But in hindsight, I think it is very important that you DO! It gives you time to process the issues you are going through and find proper ways to deal with them! Also, your body is screaming out that it's under stress, the least we should do is give it a few weeks to collect itself!
Great Video, thanks for all the information, I am waiting to see a doctor here in Sask to see if this is what I have. Good luck and great step by step on what to expect
ive showed couple of ur vids to my husband, first thing he said - she is POSITIVE! ))) cuz he was the one who actually saw excatly what ive been throuh mentaly these days (it is day 11 today).. comparison contrast between your reaction to bp (day 2) and mine is just huge. your words "God doesn't put you through difficult challenges in life for no good reason" i will remember... just going through tough time now...still...
Hey how did you get better? My mom has it. I really need your help. PLEASE HELP!!! How did your smile come back and your eyes. I saw your previous videos. Its a miracle!
I am NOT a doctor... but from my experience, acupuncture did NOTHING to make my Bell's Palsy go away any faster. Time and patience are what prevailed. And eventually, healing came! Warm heat can loosen up the facial muscles, but it does nothing to reduce the inflammation in the facial nerve. The facial nerve needs to heal before you will see significant movement return! Be patient!
Thank you for your videos, they are keeping me going, I have Bell's Palsy for 4 1/2 months now. Did you experience any pain besides those 3 days you mentioned? Every time I tough my affected side to massage or for any reason, it hurts like when someone punch you or when you bump your forehead. I'm fed up with medicines, tried acupuncture, chiropractors, close to 20 different doctors... next thing will be a witch doctor lol. (Yes, I am that desperate)
With bells palsy your lymphatic duct is inflamed and compresses your facial nerve. So it's an issue with the lymphatic system. Kangen water is high alkaline high anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory. I helped 2 people with the condition. I told them both to stop drinking coke or any other type of sodas due to them being way too acidic. I told the adult to drink 2 litres a day and the 8 year old 1 litre a day. Both made full recoveries, the adult was back to normal in a month and the 8 year old 3wks.
I am suffering from bell's palsy from 21 yr and i was not well educated before to research about what was worng with me.I have been mocked by people so i generaly remain depressed and also thought to end my life at some point of time ,but seeing your motivational vedio there is some scope in my life. I am from INDIA and and i am studying computer science but not rich enough to make proper treatement abroad for this problem right now. PLEASE HELP ME OUT OF THIS HELL CONDITIONS. and I WOULD BE OBLIGED TO YOU FOR MY WHOLE LIFE.
thank you for your video and most esp your good attitude towards it..you inspired me to look positively on this bell's palsy coz i got one just this thursday...
What irritation of the BP eye? If you properly take care of the eye (patch it when required, apply eye gel to it when conditions are dry) it should not feel irritated. Do you think you may have damaged your cornea?
i'm glad that you are improved to your bp..it's totally improved..may i know some of your activities on how you've been improving your bp. imade some exercises that you showed in the you tube..there is something feeling that i can say it's working..
I was wondering if you ever experienced like a fluttering in your ear during recovery? I'm almost 2 months in and I've been experiencing that for about a week. Every time i move my face. Also do you think facial exercises would benefit me at this point? I do have movement now just not 100 percent. ... Thank you for your videos🙏
Thx for this vid. It is now almost 5 mths for me post Bell's Palsy diagnosis. Started getting better after 7 or 8 weeks and just recently I noticed that when I close my eyes it feels like my one side of my mouth is slightly smiling. I don't think anyone has noticed or if it is even noticeable but I can feel it and know it is not the norm for me. I was afraid to mention it as I don't want people around me to think I am just complaining or imagining things but I wonder if it is slight Synkinesis
I can deal with everything else BP has left me with. I just wish my left eye would blink normally again. (fingers crossed it will one day) *2 years 4 months*
I'm suffering from last 6 months of bells palsy and i feel lot of twitches near eye and synkinesis near lips of my face. When i eat spicy and hot tears comes in my eye please tell about how to reduce synkinesis and eye in water please reply........... Please
Hello madam, currently I am suffering from bells palsy synkeneses, it has lasted for a year and 10months now, please my question is, which side of my face will I use to be sleeping, the normal or the affected part?.
would you say i`m doin the wrong thing by having acupuncture every other day, i`m in day 8 and have had acupuncture 5 times already, i got it on the sunday an had acupuncture monday tuesday wednesday, friday, sunday (yesterday) and booked in again tomorrow, i don`t have it severly as some i`ve seen on vid but it`s bad enough, can`t raise my eye brow or the side of my lips, what about hot water bottles on the face as a heat treatment?? thanks for your video, been a big help, much love
I have had Bells for 1 year and 4 months and I still cannot smile showing all teeth as you do so your video always give me hope. But my question is on the irritation of the bells eye. Is there anything to do to get rid of or ease it. (this picture is pre bells)
Its been 2yrs and 3mos since the day i had it..and now that synkenisis..do you still massage your face?im busy with my kids and dont have a lot time for that sometimes at night i did it after shower but thats very seldom...
Oh. You can watch my other videos to see what I did. Basically get lots of rest and take your vitamins! Everyone has very different severity of paralysis, so make sure you take care to make sure your eye is closed at night (tape it shut) and if you are also experiencing numbness in your mouth, to be very careful to eat soft foods to prevent choking!!! (It will go away, but can be quite scary if you cannot chew food properly!) Everyone heals at their own rate! Please be patient!
S S Campbell most people who get mild cases, should only be dealing with symptoms for 4-6 weeks. Sounds like you may be having a severe case like me! Either way, it will take you some time to adjust and your body to adapt to this new stress on your system! Recognize that you are sick, and if you are kind to yourself during this time your recovery will be much smoother as a result! I wish you peace, calm and strength! You can get through this!!!
Two months later and my whole world has changed. I already struggled with other health issues...now many things are so much worse. I am so tired still, struggle to chew up most foods, and lost so much more strength. Also struggling with sight issues.
S S Campbell it does get better... 2 months you are still in the early and hardest part of the BP recovery! Stay strong, this will pass with your positive attitude, good health choices and time! ❤️. Get lots of rest when you can!
@2XxGLOxX2 in addition, he needs to rub his face with warm towels 3 times a day, eat healthy. In my case, after 4 months I stopped doing anything about my BP, and my body just took off from there. I think is a matter of time and patience. How old is your dad?
My 8 year old son has facial paralysis from Lymes. It was bilateral after two weeks, which aided in the diagnosis the second side cleared up immediately with antibiotics, but the initial side, was fully paralyzed a little over two months. He began accupuncture, and we finally saw some movement return. It's been 3 1/2 months since the initial movement began, and he still has a considerable amt left especially with his eyebrow and upturn of his smile. He's also had Synekinesis starting with teari
hey i just got bell palsy and i am only 15 but i am worry about what will happen next i have been watching your videos and they are helping me but the thing and this is my 3 day with taking my meds and i notice i have huge headaches and ear hurts a lot what should i do . and is this is normal :)
Anything doesn't happened due to excercise I think synkinesis happened due to late recovery if someone recover in a month or two no synkinesis is there excercise is necessary because power in muscle come through excercise
@2XxGLOxX2 Hi there, tell your father not to worry, he will recover, but is going to take time. I was diagnosed with BP 2 1/2 years ago, and I have recovered about 96% which is pretty good, there is no signs of BP in me. I was 52 at the time and I got it on the right side of my face. He needs to take steroids for a couple days, and some anti inflamatory drugs, whatever the docotr recommneds. He needs to see a physical therapist and get massages on the face, about 3 days a week. Good luck
That is NOT what I'm saying at all. Facial exercises will NOT help you recover any faster!!! Actually, the opposite is true!!! Rest, relaxation, mental stress reduction... all these things helped me recover! Vacations and hot baths is what helped the most!!!
hi fitgirl 15 i got bell's palsy just last week heh heh heh can you give me sa tips on bell's palsy from the philippines and at your side thats a great recovery...
Hola a mi me dio bell palsy hace 8 meses y me pasa eso se me cierra un ojo cuando doy un beso 😘 el terapista dice q estoy sana un 80 % tu estas bien eres muy bonita dios te bendiga
It hit me hard and fast after two weeks of back to back illness and a week of a bad headache that didn't stop. Actually blacked out in the parking lot leaving the doctor's office. Doc was sending me on over to the Emergency Room to rule out stroke. These sharp pains were shooting up the back right side of my head and face. I just finished 2 rounds of steroids and the pain is coming back. It is so bad up near my ear.

I think I'm where you are. I got BP in 1996. After 27 years, I might be feeling a bit more movement in my forehead so I'm researching again and found your videos. Thanks for making them. I've accepted that I won't recover 100%, but any little improvement, I'll take. I also may have done damage trying too much in the early periods with accupuncture and other treatments. I may also have massaged my face too hard. It's been a hell of a journey, but it's made me stronger.
I am nearly 60 and have been very lucky, because I have never had a illness in my life (apart from colds and flu (twice)).

Nerves do heal, millimetre at a time, very slowly, but they do! Keep positive, don't give up! You look great, your beautiful :)
Hi,
The reason I am following you on You Tube is because my daughter, who is 38 years old, woke up with Bells Palsy. You have helped us learn so much about the progression of this " affliction"! I am sure we have seen you as you have tried to help others know what to expect in the physical realm, but I was wondering if you could talk about the emotional side of dealing with Bells Palsy on a daily basis. It helps to know that you are not alone, and that others are going through similar experiences. I think you are a very good teacher and I want to say, Thank you.
I am glad that I watched your video. So much of what you described is what I have experienced. I am on year 5 and I am still trying to come to terms with my new look. Thank you for doing this video.
am glad you are better .i watched every single of your video and took your advice .i let my body heal itself and it worked out for me .i am 85 % healed. about the permanent damage ,i was worried too and talked to my doctor and she said that it is already damaged and it doesn't get worse than it is .Thank you :)
wow your recovery is great. so happy for you. BP really sucks. like Edna Parker, my eyes are extremely sensitive to everything. eye drops often seems to help and also physically closing it for a few minutes while trying to relax my face helps also. I have started to tape my eye shut during sleep and that seems to help make it feel better in the mornings. positive attitude I believe is extremely important. thanks for all your videos Jessica. and to all affected hang in there be positive.

Jessica,
I remember talking to you on the bell's forum.. I had bell's just 3 weeks before you...the guy who's your age from Canada, East Coast. Anyway, I have healed completely except I have synkinesis in my eyebrow when making an O shape with my lips. I also started exercising immediately and sincerely believe that stress brought on my case. I log in from time to time to check up on you, and I must say you look great! Very attractive. Keep it up.

Looking good Jess! I haven't been on in forever. I feel the same way about just accepting my new face! I don't let it get to me too much. I have been taking Vitamin B12 and that actually makes my face twinge in a good way. So I recommend that if you aren't taking it. Take Care!

I also have Bell's Palsy and it has been a nightmare.
You are right about the medical profession.
You rarely get good answers. I feel that I have been so blown off it's not funny. This facial paralysis is has ruined my life.
If you break a leg a Dr. will set it. You only find out information as you go along trying to find answers. These people have no idea what it is like walking around with a deformed face.

FitGirl15 hi I have BP is been a month but one of my eye is bigger.then then the other is this permanent or it could be repair?
Great Video, thanks for all the information, I am waiting to see a doctor here in Sask to see if this is what I have. Good luck and great step by step on what to expect

Lots of good info you have said there..it's so hard to know before you have experinced the BP..I;m sure you must be helpfull for many BP sufferers ..
Hey how did you get better? My mom has it. I really need your help. PLEASE HELP!!!

please try hypnotherapy, it might help.
Ive had BP for about 4 months now. The worst part is when people point it out. I try to stay strong though.
Thank you for your videos, they are keeping me going, I have Bell's Palsy for 4 1/2 months now. Did you experience any pain besides those 3 days you mentioned? Every time I tough my affected side to massage or for any reason, it hurts like when someone punch you or when you bump your forehead. I'm fed up with medicines, tried acupuncture, chiropractors, close to 20 different doctors... next thing will be a witch doctor lol. (Yes, I am that desperate)

Hi I just started watching your videos, I think its very informative. I'm on my 28th day now of BP. And I just got my sense of taste back a week ago.
thank you for your video and most esp your good attitude towards it..you inspired me to look positively on this bell's palsy coz i got one just this thursday...
What irritation of the BP eye? If you properly take care of the eye (patch it when required, apply eye gel to it when conditions are dry) it should not feel irritated. Do you think you may have damaged your cornea?
What I do is not dwell on it and think about it so won't stress me out as much seems to work this way for me thanks for sharing
Exactly! I love your perspective! Very mature and openminded! :)
Ty 😀
Patience and time! I got better by being kind to my body and resting it!
Your mother can hopefully do the same! XOXO
i'm glad that you are improved to your bp..it's totally improved..may i know some of your activities on how you've been improving your bp. imade some exercises that you showed in the you tube..there is something feeling that i can say it's working..
Excellent advice and training.
I was wondering if you ever experienced like a fluttering in your ear during recovery? I'm almost 2 months in and I've been experiencing that for about a week. Every time i move my face. Also do you think facial exercises would benefit me at this point? I do have movement now just not 100 percent. ... Thank you for your videos🙏
Mines mild and always has been and it’s been a year and 4 months but I still notice it so much
Thx for this vid. It is now almost 5 mths for me post Bell's Palsy diagnosis. Started getting better after 7 or 8 weeks and just recently I noticed that when I close my eyes it feels like my one side of my mouth is slightly smiling. I don't think anyone has noticed or if it is even noticeable but I can feel it and know it is not the norm for me.

You look great! No need to worry.
Thanks for your videos , really helpful
@carapungo He is 53, has it on his left side of his face, and thanks for the advice.
I can deal with everything else BP has left me with. I just wish my left eye would blink normally again. (fingers crossed it will one day) *2 years 4 months*
Hi, thanks for the youtube blog. ru saying that the bulk of your recovery is from exercise? have you had recent nerve function testing? calantpres
I'm suffering from last 6 months of bells palsy and i feel lot of twitches near eye and synkinesis near lips of my face. When i eat spicy and hot tears comes in my eye please tell about how to reduce synkinesis and eye in water please reply........... Please
Hello madam, currently I am suffering from bells palsy synkeneses, it has lasted for a year and 10months now, please my question is, which side of my face will I use to be sleeping, the normal or the affected part?.

I have had Bells for 1 year and 4 months and I still cannot smile showing all teeth as you do so your video always give me hope. But my question is on the irritation of the bells eye. Is there anything to do to get rid of or ease it.
(this picture is pre bells)
you are right....the doctors dont know much!!!!!!
So right! I am beyond frustrated that there is not more help and knowledge.
Its been 2yrs and 3mos since the day i had it..and now that synkenisis..do you still massage your face?im busy with my kids and dont have a lot time for that sometimes at night i did it after shower but thats very seldom...
Did you take time off work when you had BP in the first wks?
I have also that's problem...what can I do..
What problem are you referring to?
i am referring about me...i ,mean to say that i am also have bells palsy problem..
Oh. You can watch my other videos to see what I did. Basically get lots of rest and take your vitamins! Everyone has very different severity of paralysis, so make sure you take care to make sure your eye is closed at night (tape it shut) and if you are also experiencing numbness in your mouth, to be very careful to eat soft foods to prevent choking!!! (It will go away, but can be quite scary if you cannot chew food properly!)
Everyone heals at their own rate! Please be patient!
thanks..its such a very bad experience for me..send me your prescription
I am only on my second week since the attack. Its hard to see, hard to walk, hard to think, and hard to function. I really just want to cry and cry.
S S Campbell most people who get mild cases, should only be dealing with symptoms for 4-6 weeks. Sounds like you may be having a severe case like me! Either way, it will take you some time to adjust and your body to adapt to this new stress on your system!
Recognize that you are sick, and if you are kind to yourself during this time your recovery will be much smoother as a result!
I wish you peace, calm and strength! You can get through this!!!
You will be alright.
Two months later and my whole world has changed. I already struggled with other health issues...now many things are so much worse. I am so tired still, struggle to chew up most foods, and lost so much more strength. Also struggling with sight issues.
S S Campbell it does get better... 2 months you are still in the early and hardest part of the BP recovery! Stay strong, this will pass with your positive attitude, good health choices and time! ❤️. Get lots of rest when you can!
@2XxGLOxX2 in addition, he needs to rub his face with warm towels 3 times a day, eat healthy. In my case, after 4 months I stopped doing anything about my BP, and my body just took off from there. I think is a matter of time and patience. How old is your dad?
My 8 year old son has facial paralysis from Lymes. It was bilateral after two weeks, which aided in the diagnosis the second side cleared up immediately with antibiotics, but the initial side, was fully paralyzed a little over two months. He began accupuncture, and we finally saw some movement return. It's been 3 1/2 months since the initial movement began, and he still has a considerable amt left especially with his eyebrow and upturn of his smile. He's also had Synekinesis starting with teari
hey i just got bell palsy and i am only 15 but i am worry about what will happen next i have been watching your videos and they are helping me but the thing and this is my 3 day with taking my meds and i notice i have huge headaches and ear hurts a lot what should i do . and is this is normal :)
Anything doesn't happened due to excercise I think synkinesis happened due to late recovery if someone recover in a month or two no synkinesis is there excercise is necessary because power in muscle come through excercise
Thank You.
@2XxGLOxX2 Hi there, tell your father not to worry, he will recover, but is going to take time. I was diagnosed with BP 2 1/2 years ago, and I have recovered about 96% which is pretty good, there is no signs of BP in me. I was 52 at the time and I got it on the right side of my face. He needs to take steroids for a couple days, and some anti inflamatory drugs, whatever the docotr recommneds. He needs to see a physical therapist and get massages on the face, about 3 days a week. Good luck
I have the same issue after 8 months
I wish it you are next to me and make me more brave I'm watching all your videos
That is NOT what I'm saying at all. Facial exercises will NOT help you recover any faster!!! Actually, the opposite is true!!! Rest, relaxation, mental stress reduction... all these things helped me recover! Vacations and hot baths is what helped the most!!!
have you ever tried Botox for your synkinesis

Hola a mi me dio bell palsy hace 8 meses y me pasa eso se me cierra un ojo cuando doy un beso 😘 el terapista dice q estoy sana un 80 % tu estas bien eres muy bonita dios te bendiga
It hit me hard and fast after two weeks of back to back illness and a week of a bad headache that didn't stop. Actually blacked out in the parking lot leaving the doctor's office. Doc was sending me on over to the Emergency Room to rule out stroke. These sharp pains were shooting up the back right side of my head and face. I just finished 2 rounds of steroids and the pain is coming back. It is so bad up near my ear.
Thank you
you are still beautiful !!!!!
THANK YOU!!
