What is the longest anyone has ever felt symptoms. My Dr. originally thought that I had Bells Palsy but when the numbness did not go away, he started saying MS. But I have had negative exams for 3 years. Just trying to get some insignt.
I had Bells Palsy on the left side of my face 3 years ago.. My dr told me it was because of an infected tooth. He gave me some meds and it went away about 3 weeks later. Well about 4 days ago I started to feel like I was getting Bells Palsy again, but this time on the right side of my face. I went into the dentist and he said that it could be that my bottom right wisdom tooth is growing sideways and pushing on my nerve… But I was doing a little research on Bells Palsy and it says that it can be caused by a cold or flu. Well about 2 weeks ago I had a sore throat and for some reason I build alot of wax in my ears.. My ear was hurting from the wax that was built up. Anyways, I went into the dr to make sure it wasn’t a stroke.. He said that it was Bells Palsy again. He didn’t do any test or anything. He sent me home with Amoxacilin.
I guess my question here is my face is slowly getting worse everyday.. Its not fully paralyzed but I can feel it getting worse day to day. Last time i got it my left side was completly unworkable. I can still work the right side a little. But I am having pain under my ear and in the back of my head. Just on the right side though. Not like a 10 on a pain scale its more like a 2.. Ya know when you sleep on ur head wrong and you wake up and it hurts all day long.. Thats how it feels but only on the right side. I was wondering if all those symtoms are normal with Bells Palsy. And if there is any test or anything I can do..
Thanks so much for your guys time… Your so helpful..
is it likely that bells palsy would last 3 years long? Or is my face just crooked now? When i look at pictures of my younger self it isnt like that but now it is.
I’ve had mine or over 3 years and it doesn’t seem to recover by it self.
I have had bellspalsy in the past in fact i have had 2 bouts in the last 6 yrs. im pretty much normal now, but my last episode was in 2003, three years ago and my eyes still water more when i eat or drink.. does anyone know if this is normal? im tired of looking like i been crying all the time, im really a happy person .
I was diagnosed as having Bell’s Palsy 3 years ago this week. I am a healthy, physically fit, 34 yr. old man. I have been told by neurologists, an ENT and my GP that I will not fully recover from this……I refuse to accept this. I am seeking any hope, suggestions, stories or otherwise that may help me with my battle………….thanks in advance.
I have had Bell’s PAlsy for 3 years now. It was severe at first but now is about 70% recovered. I still have ear pain and my mouth is visibly droopy (a bit) I believe the nerves did not heal properly as my eye waters and partially closes when I smile. I’m tired of doing nothing and was interested in accupuncture, cupping or herbal remedies. I heard that in China there are many ‘ancient’ treatments. Can anybody help? Thanks!
