Hi Rachel, thanks for the timeline update. This is the best visual recovery in detail in youtube. This really helps.
Here is my Bell's Palcy Full Recovery in One Month Story:
On Oct 19th, 2022, I woke up and while brushing my teeth I felt that I was able to keep the water in my mouth or gargill the water effectively. I couldn't move my lips and started feeling numbness on my left side.
I went to see a doctor and was diagnosed with bell's palsy. Rather than recovery, it was shock which I was not able to handle. Looking at your face in the mirror was a nightmare. So many questions. I was fortunate enough that my primary physician recommended me to go to the emergency room. No doubt It was one of the most horrible experiences of my life. The ER doctor immediately put me on a seven-day steroids plan. They did MRI to rule out any other possibility. Believe me, waiting in the ER and not knowing what would happen and if everything would be OK was killing me. Unfortunately, other than medicine, they didn't recommend me anything else. Whereas all the RUclips videos suggest starting the exercise immediately. I was surprised by the statement from the neurologist that 'study shows exercises will help with the bell's play recovery'.
I reached out to doctors in India and they recommended me to start the exercises and electric stimulation immediately. Getting an appointment with a physiotherapist immediately in the USA was a nightmare. Also, they won't start any treatment without any approval from the insurance company. Fortunately, my physical therapy center was accommodative and they too mention that early exercises and electric stimulation helps with quicker recovery. They immediately set up the exercise plan with electrical stimulation.
For those who are going through this, my recommendation is do not lose hope.It is just temporary and you will recover for sure. But no matter what you do, the first two weeks (in my case, 13 days) you will not see any progress. Treat this like any other infection and believe me, you will recover for sure.
Here are a total of 22 exercises I did religiously three times a day, in addition to electric stimulation. For physical therapy, my sister-in-law, who is a doctor in India, helped me on a daily basis via video call.
TRUST ME - Do not loose hope and have patience. I recovered fully in one month. You may take a little less or little more. But, believe me, exercises are going to help you recover quickly. By the end of two weeks, I started seeing improvement and, by the end of the fourth week, recovered 100% .
Exercises:
1. Raise eyebrows (active and passive) - Five sets
Raise eyebrows, hold 3 sec and then repeat. On the paralysed size you have to take help of your fingers to raise the eyebrows. Remember, your nerve has been damaged and you are stimulating and re-educating the nerve.
2. Bring eyebrows near center line (active and passive) - Five sets
3. Close your eyes fully (only active) - Five sets
4. Raise your nose and do sniffing (active and passive) - Five sets
5. Wide smile (active and passive) - Five sets
6. Teeth Clenching and wide smile (active and passive) - Five sets
7. Lower lip out with passive support for symmetry (active and passive) - Five sets
8. Neck exercise - Move your neck in all directions - Ten sets
9. Wide open mouth - Five sets
10. Cheek air puffing - Five sets
11. Ballon puffing - Five sets
12. Rincee the mouth with water - Five sets
13. Candle blowing from 6-8 inches - Five sets
14. Tongue Out, Eyeball up, hold three seconds - Ten sets
15. Roll eyeballs in all directions with hold of one second - Ten sets
16. Selfi lips for bringing symmetry back (active and passive) - Five sets
17. Rotate tongue in all directions - Ten sets with five seconds hold
18. Say 'Om' loud - Ten sets
19. Facial massage - Five sets of 10 seconds
20. Facial massage of affcted size
21. Your non-affected side is going to do lot of work as other side is paralysed. You have to give some comfort to non-affexted side with light massage and heat warming pad
22. Jaw pressing - 20 sets
In addition to these exercises, I watched videos below during my recovery journey:

This my first week thank u for sharing
Just got diagnosed today. My left side is paralyzed. So im here tryna figurenout how ima get through this.
You'll get through it. Trust and Believe. Sending you warm hugs🤗
Raquel,
I’m into the 4th month of BP. I’m about 30% recovered. In your video, you show some injections you got during the later part of your journey. Can you tell me what they are? I need to try to expedite my recovery. Thanks.
Hello! This is the medication. But I believe it must be prescribed by your neurologist.
Nivalin is a medicinal product containing galantamine - an alkaloid isolated from
snowdrop bulbs. Galantamine belongs to a group of drugs called actetylcholinesterase inhibitors. It increases the concentration of a chemical called acetylcholine, which is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Nivalin is used in the symptomatic supportive treatment of neurological
neuromuscular and spinal cord diseases.
Hi maam ,,I have bells palsy to day and its 7 days..napaka hirap ng pinag dadaanan ko pero sa mga ganitung video po ay nabubuhayan ako ng pag asa na gagaling ako..sinusunod ko lahat ng sabi ng doctor at 3 times akong nag therapy at exercise po sa face.. thank you po❤️❤️❤️
same po tayo medyo may pagbabago na sakin basta exercise mo lang wag nawawalan ng pag asa at samahan monang dasal palagi
How can I get videos of how you recovered
Me it's one month now and I can't see some changes
how did you do it please tell me please 🙏🥺
I have bell palsy over a year now still not recovered fully feel sad at times still praying for full healing
Hello sorry to hear that. Each case has different recovery🥺 I pray that the healing will come to you🙏❤️
Mauria Stephens same 😔😔😔😔
Me too.1 year .but we are hopefull.we will recover
WHAT THERAPHY did you do? also how many days
Thank you for sharing your experience. It was uplifting. I am only 5 days post diagnosis. Your video has made me feel more positive. Thank you.
The issue that I find most unsettling and frustrating is my affected eye watering regularly, even though I use eye drops everyday, tape it when I sleep, wear glasses and rarely go outside
I am glad knowing that I uplift your spirit. Hold on!♥️ I understand how uncomfortable it is, that is why I had tissue all the time with me during those days. But maybe use an eye chamber the same as what showed on this video. I believe it way better than eye patch.
I wish you full recovery same as mine.🙂
Do you had weakness in your body ..arms or any in your body..with this bell palsey ...thank you..I do have at this moment..thank you for this video👍
Thankfully I didn't have.🙏 Have you already consulted a doctor? I wish you fast and full recovery.
Hi Racquel , were you receiving any electrical stimulation on any electrical procedure done by your therapist ? Please respond if you see this comment . Thanks
Hello. It was recommended by my neurologist however the centre where I attended my therapy it wasn't available so I had manual stimulation and a light device. It helps though.
Awesome inspiring
❤
Hi maam im 3 weeks of my bell's palsy..your vedio can help me to recover of my bell's palsy God bless

Hai! May I know what can of massage you do every night along bell palsy journey? I’m on bell palsy on day 3 now. Hope you don’t mind to share! Thanks!
Hello. I do massage on the affected site especially on eyebrow, around eye, down to cheek. I do upward motion. Better you do it with cream or oil. It is easier. I also do exercise like moving my eyebrows up down, trying to move my nares, and smiling
Hello I am felling so bad but I am in bells pallys please today 19 days ago of my Bell's pallys but what I do I do not think

Mam I got bell's pal'sy what to do mam
Can i asked?.How did you sleep?.It is okay if the left side(which is have is affected)was covered?.I mean sleeping while covering eyes?.Because im worried
Hello sorry for late response. Yeah I have covered eye(affected). I used eye patch or wet chamber otherwise the eye will be dry. Better consult opthalmologist so you have prescribed eye drop.😊
today is my 21st day of bells palsy on the right side of my face. i had only 5-day therapy with my physiotherapist. just face massage was done bcoz the electric something therapy is expensive. i hope i will recover soon. thanks foe this video. it helps a lot. ❤
hello there. today is my 70th day since that day. my face was ok within 4weeks. the right side of my face already synchronized with the left side. until now, i do face massage 2x a day and at least, once a week, i have my cheat day. haha. my diet is not that healthy but it helped me to lose weight and have a normal blood pressure. i only eat oats with chia seeds, mixed nuts, soya milk for breakfast, salad for lunch and dinner. if ever i feel hungry or crave for sweets, i eat dates and mixed nuts. we need to sacrifice. but until when? i dont know the answer for that. haha. get well soon everyone and dont be depressed bcoz i never experience that since day1. just always think positive and all will follow. ❤
@@ganymedetumbali1027 Hey thanks for returning to update that you recovred in 4 weeks. Im on Day 19, Im hopeful I will make ful recovery like you

Hello.... Sorry to hear your state this time🥺 I got 10shots of medications I forgot what's the name. I also undergone therapy it's more on massage of the affected site and this like light Therapy to helps the nerve to regenerate. Didn't your doctor advised for anything or even giving you steroids?
Koto diner moddhe ei rog theke mukti pawa somvob??
I had a bells pulsy, now I have contractions in muscles my eye is closing when I am eating. Did you have this and what did you do? Thank you
2 months not recover Bell's palsy
Hi, ma'am i have facing the same problem from one week . But i consult neurology doc n continue to take priscription, and two days before practice facial therapy like few things for the changes . May I know that how u experienced in early stage . And your video was nice to feel comfort for the people who face the same problem in them . And please can u tell that how you overcome that and how many days or month it took to clear for the paralyse parts .
Hello, first I would like to wish that you'll have full recovery same as I do. Anyway, the early signs I had my right eye was teary and I cannot close it and gradually I couldn't move the half part of my face. I also felt discomfort like heaviness but bearable. The duration is case to case basis. Some can have longer but some can have shorter. When I was on my 3rd month I was fully recovered. One you see improvement start to exercise the affected site. It will hard in the beginning but be kind to yourself. Goodluck!
how many days your face returned to its place and recovered
3months.
Eu deja de 7 luni mă chinui nu acest paralizm și nu îmi revin nu reușesc am făcut foarte mult tratament și fără niciun rezultat 😢
Thanks ❤❤ Love from Pakistan
Where are you from and where did you get your treatment from
@@mampisahu3163 I am a Filipina but I lived in Poland when I got BP and got all the treatments there
3vrs na po ang bells palsy ko po may changes naman pero not totally, di ko ka raise ang eyebrow at assymetrical pa rin ang smile.. Can u help me? Thank u po
Hello Kirstin. You know when I raise my eyebrows natataas ko silang sabay but I feel that the muscle nung affected site is weaker than the other. In the beginning it was very hard kasi need mo talagang itrain ulit yung muscle para gumana how it supposed to be. If weak help it by your hands. Be patient. I hope after time mas maganda ang improvement.
God bless
I have same… 3 month in 80%
Its my 3rd month now and i still cant smile 😢😢😊
Me also third month but can't smile how long time possible for full recovery
