Roberta’s story

I have had bell’s palsy for 8 years now, symptoms are soreness in my face and lack of a blinking eye, I am still very much self conscious about this. people will ask me to repeat myself when I speak and tht in it self is embarrassing, Anyhow I am constantly checking for cures but slowly over time I am getting used to having this and realizing that I should be glad it could be worse..

I would like to say get proper medical from the beginning, I was seen by a emergency doctor who was over worked and said :you have bell’s palsy and not a stroke, I had no idea what bell’s palsy was!!! I was not given any medication and I am to this day alot better so that is great, other than when I get over tired my face seems to get numb and I find my face feels heavy and swollen…
