Bells Palsy

In 1992, i was a sophomore in high school, i developed bells palsy Back then no one new anything about it so i had facial electro therapy and many many shots of vitamin b.(for about 2 years) it is now 2009, and i am still struggling with this. I do not have my smile anymore and although i am able to close my eye, i feel very insecure about what has happened to me. Half of my tongue doesn’t have a sense of taste but i have pretty much gotten used to that. I really would like for some doctor to help me with my facial paralysis. And its is so ironic how it has affected my face, and as my profession, i work with make-up.(make-up artist) if god would grant me just one wish, it would be to have my face back with my gummy smile. I miss it. -alejandra d.
