BP
by: TOMYA on Fri, May 29 2009

At the age of 18,i started having terrible ear aches.it went on for about a week,before i went to the doctor,he prescribed me some dropps ant sent me home,the next mornging as i was brushing my teeth i felt kind of funny when i tried to rinse my mouth i could’nt hold the water in my mouth.i looked in the mirror and my mouth was twisted to my right side.when i went to the doctor he did’nt know what had happened he did’nt run any test i was sent home with no answers.

weeeks after that my grandmom took me to a neuro adn i was poked in the face with needles did,nt feel a thing so he diagnosed it as bell’s palsey,showed me some exercises and sent me home.

today i’m 34 and still has it,my face is 85% better but i can’t take pictures with my kids i’m scared to face people and talk my eye is always running water especially when i’m eating.i’m still praying that it will get better.hopefully before i get married
