I’ve had bel”s palsy since Jan 3 of this year and its now march 11. its better than before but i still cant move my right side of my face..i slur some of my words, and i cant raise my eyebrow up. I’ve taken B-12 vitamins in 500mcg everyday as well. what can i do to get my nerves back and how much long will this last.
under my right ear on the side where my jaw is is hurting and its almost been a week since i found out i had it. how long will it take for the nerves to heal? thanks for your answers
I came down with Bell’s Palsy about three and a half weeks ago….I seem to be improving fine, but I am afraid….every once in a while these nerves in my body twitch, other than in my face…many times in my thighs and upper leg…
I had an MRI done, and my neurologist told me it was only Bell’s Palsy..but I am a little afraid that the Bell’s may be an indicator of something worse.
I don’t have pain or anything, just the weird twitching. And it is only every once in a while. I took a the steroid Prednisone and the antiviral Acyclovir about three weeks ago , for the first week. They then put me on Lexapro to relieve the depression and anxiety, but I quit on Saturday cause I don’t think I need it. Could these be withdrawal symptoms? I have also been using Lunesta to sleep for the last few days.
And lastly, I went to the gym on Saturday, and worked out legs…could the twitching in my legs be related to this?
I’m going back to the neurologist in two weeks….
I first got bells palsy in April..everything is back to normal now it was according to doctors a light case. the only thing is I still have some trouble with my left eye it just feels weird. But what I have noticed is that sometimes I have a little pain on th side that i had it on..especially on the cheek bone..and when I dont get enough sleep or im tired thats when I feel it most. I dont know if its just my nerves getting to me..because I was recently on a one month vacation and I didnt feel it as often. Also, Every day I massage my face and do facial expressions to check if i’m not getting bells again..i know im over reacting…and thats what people tell me..but it was just very horrible getting this..and i dont want to get it again…what can i do to just get my mind off of it and move on?? and has anyone also have those little side effects???
Does anyone who has had Bell’s Palsy or know someone with it find that after three months…the AFFECTED side actually looks better and tighter & newer than the UNAFFECTED side?? Does this last….??…because nowwwww I feel lopsided on the OTHER side……HELLLLP! Thanks guys!
(Layla)….HERE’S SOMETHING 2 FUNNY…. I had family over for Christmas and I asked them which side I HAD the BELL’S happen on in September……none of them could remember….so I asked them all to point to it and THEY ALL pointed to the UNAFFECTED side!!!! I look 10 years younger on the AFFECTED side….now that there is regrowth of the nerves…lol….I feel like plucking out the 7th cranial extension on the other side…LOL……just wondering if anyone knows that after a time….it will all pan to even!??? I can’t find annnny NET info on this,…….Thanks GUYS for your INFO though!!!!…
i’m a 17 year old senior and 4 weeks ago i was diagnosed with bells palsy. Meaning the right side of my face is paralyzed and i have to wait for the nerves to grow back. I was wondering if i masturbated would that make it worse, make it better, or do no harm? Please help me and what can i do to speed up healing
My best friend went to the hospital last night with what he thought was only pink eye and a severe ear ache. He left with the diagnoses of Bell’s Palsy. Ive been doing research online all day, but could someone give a run down on it? I know it effects nerves in the face, causing a drooping..How else does it effect someone? Is there anything in particular that I can do to help him? He’s waiting on his medication as we speak, but his temperment went from a high to a straight low. I’ve been comforting him, as I will remain doing, but for those who have gone through or have known someone who has gone through it–How did effect you/them? And what helped, besides medication or surgergy? Also, do you have any recommened eye drops/eye lubricants? Thank you all in advance.
Well, My senior year in high school starts in less then a month, and I’ve had Bells Palsy since March of this year, I was homeschooled for my junior year. Should i be worried about looks I’ll be getting due to the fact I can’t move half my face? In fact, it seems as if the nerves that when I smile should make my lips move, regrew to my upper cheek, so when i smile, it becomes even odder looking… Just need a lil encouragment or discouragment (can go back to homeschool =P) on if I should worry people will think I’m weird… I normally could care less what people think, but I haven’t seen my friends in over a year now…
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!
