Bell’s Palsy

My name is Kayla Smith and I am 15 years old. When I was in the 9th grade I had gone through Bell’s Palsy twice. Being the age that I was many doctors couldn’t believe that I had even had Bell’s Palsy. Then when it happened again they were even more astounded. See Bell’s Palsy usually affects older people and doesn’t come back at all. So I missed two months of school and had to go to a different doctor every day to do something different. Then by the time the day was over I was so exausted that I just wanted to go to sleep. Which sleep was very hard to get when one of your eyes won’t close so you have to tape it shut.

So, finally by the time I got back to school I had so much work to catch up on it was unreal. And to top it all off I had 48 hrs. to make up for missing so much school. So last year was a very hard year for me and I am even suffering from it now. I used to be a straight A student but now it is very hard for me to even come to school. I either have a migrain or I am way to exausted to even get up, but I make myself anyway. A WORD OF ADVICE PRAY YOU NEVER GET BELL’S PALSY!!!! IT WILL RUIN SO MUCH!! But the good news is I have fully recovered and you cant even tell physically that I ever had it!
