The left side of my face is completely paralyzed. i can only talk out the side of my mouth. My left eye will NOT close. Wont even blink. I have EXTREME headaches around and or behind my left ear. Left side of my face droops. I can’t even lift my left eyebrow. Am i supposed to be takin some kind or any kind of anti-inflamatory or pain-killer? Do i need to get medical attention, like as im typing this?! Like, RIGHT NOW?! How long will this last? I am hearin anywhere between 1 – 3 months. This CAN’T be true. Im only 29. Does this happens to just anyone? If it does leave, will it return? need answers. thank you for your feedback.
i haven’t gone to a doctor. My moms is a registered nurse of 35 years. she gave me an idea of what it could be. she said she had it once b4. but back then they didnt do anything for her medically. *obviously this was some time ago* Lookin for feedback from someone who has actually gone through it. A doctor hasn’t diagnosed me. But my mother and I diagnosed me. Just wana know am i over -reactin on the “freakin out” part…*TQ*
u’re right tho J.B. thanks

I went to the urgent care at the hospital today and I came to find out I have bells palsy. They said it would last 2-4 weeks if I am lucky but up to 6 months….. My wedding is in August and I only have a few weeks left. Has anyone had it before and what syptoms and treatment did you use?

The Hidden Secret

hey everyone, i just got diagnosed with bell’s palsy and the doctor told me to tape my eye shut at night. He gave me some tape, but its really uncomfortable to take it off in the morning. It pulls on my eyelid and eyelashes and also leaves a little bit of the adhesive on my face. Is there a correct way to do it without ripping out my eyelashes? The tape he gave me is cloth like and as sticky as masking tape. Using those bandaid like patches over my eyes don’t work well either because my eyelid can still open with it on. HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!
thanks so much for your concern over my diagnosis but it isn’t really as bad as it seems. its kinda fun making faces in the mirror and not being able to move half my face. it was just scary when i didn’t know what it was.

Anxiety and Stress

Well, according to the Bell Palsy ws website, there are lots of posts about how Botox has worked. I am trying anything to stay far away from plastic surgery. It’s only a question!

I went to the er. my doc will not allow me to take meds while pregnant. i took steriods the first time, two years ago, and recovered within two weeks 100%. will waiting so long to begin treatment affect how well i recover, if i do at all? im only 22yrs old. i have read so much info on bell’s palsy but hardly any exists when it comes to pregnant women with this condition. also, the first time i had it on the left side. this time it is on the right and a lot worse.

Im 20 years old, a 2nd year at GSU, and am about to go on my first actual date, ever. Im really nervous because I really, really like this girl and I was dumbfounded that she even considered giving me a shot (only twice in the past have I actually asked a girl out and both times I got rejected). To ease the nerves I was thinking of maybe taking one of my dads vicoden pills(my dad has bells palsy and takes it for pain) before the date to make me more sociable with her so that she will like me. Whenever in the past I took one and interacted with people Im really confident, am social, and everyone is engaging in conversation with me. Morally I guess this is wrong, but I just dont want rejection…
