bells

I got bells palsy in August 2007. I woke up and noticed a facial droop. I went to the ER and they diagnosed it. I was given steriods and antivirals and told it will go away. At firat eating and talking was hard. But things slowly improved with my face. I felt something marching up and down my spine and had burning in alternating parts of my body, tingling and weakness in my hands , and pain in my face. The neurologists claim that this is unrelated. however, some people i’ve talked to have the same symptoms. The sites do not mention these side effects and there are no answers to it. I can only attribute it to bells. The paralysis improved but i still get muscle twiching in the eyes and lips.

    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. [more..]
