I didn’t know it was a SICKNESS.

Hey guys, I recently discovered that I had Bell’s Palsy. Which sucked, because it started out with really small differences in the left side of my face. And I told my parents, but they all just thought it was a phase and didn’t think much about it. So, one day I was talking to my uncle and he said, “Your right eye is twitching.” I went to the bathroom, and I started blinking normally, but I noticed that my left eye wasn’t closing, which made it seem like my right eye was twitching. So I went to the docter the next day, and he diagnosed me with Bell’s palsy. And its a public holiday, so all the ENT departments were closed for a week. I have to make an appointment with ENT at the end of this week (yes, THAT late!). Anyways, I’m hoping for the best now, I’ve been taking anti biotics and steroids which has kind of taken a pretty good effect. I can blink at least a little easily. Fingers crossed. I’m scared. But hopeful.
