Coping With Bell's Palsy

Ok, so my mum woke up in her house ( I was not their because is on a work trip ) she had a dry throat and not being able to close her eye at all and feeling numb. At first, she to was worried it was a stroke as my grandmother who was fit and healthy had one and it looked like her (by the picture she sent me of her face.) At first my father said to me mum was in hospital.

I was so scared because as an 11 year old, wouldnt you be scared if one of the main people who you love is in hospital for an unknown reason. My dad said my mum and just rung and she was going to have a brain scan. I was so nervous and just praying everything was ok and it was not a stroke. As I have mentioned my grandmother had a stroke and she went through a brain scan and was confirmed a stroke So, My grandmother had this done and my mum had the same thing done to her, eg brain scan.

I was scared. The test results came back and she was disgnosed with bp (this is the 2 nd she had it). I was relieved it was not a stroke but at the same time worried because it was bells palsy I was thinking the worse and she had to have operations done on her brain, I know that sounds stupid, but i am being honest. I spoke to mum and she sounded ok in her speaking and it was not slurred.

She is going to the doctors tommorow and asking about steroids, I dont my reasearch today and said, these things have been renowned for bad side-affects in people, such as kidney failure. I did not want this to happen to her and so i decided to my reasearch and i came across many sites saying vitamin b12 is brilliant for BP and so I said to my mum, she is going to ask the doctor if this would work and if he says yes, give it a try.

I read on sites you are 5x quicker with vitamin b12 than steroids to reduce the contorted face and the paralysis, i also read on this site, it can take 2-3 months with steroids that may not even work, but vitamin b12 worked the best by miles and in under 2 weeks they were fine and this is healthy and wont cause any side effects. This study was shown with 60 people. I have my fingers crossed for everyone who has BP because I know how hard it must be.
