As far as I can tell, I have fully recovered.

I had this, too on my left side of my face. My smile is still crooked and I still feel weak on that side. Any suggestions? Anything I can do? I was diagnosed in April of 2010.

@Aphroditeuf16 You are in luck - Beta Glucan and Resveratrol will reduce the inflammation that is pinching the facial nerve. I no longer have any residual effects of the Bells Palsy. I'm thinking about doing a new video to help people totally improve their quality of life. Check this out at antipalsy (dot) com.

Why would you laugh at your Dads condition you moronic twisted bi*ch. There is absolutely no humour in watching someone you love or anybody for that matter endure any illness/disease. Your Dad might have slight paralysis of the face but he will hopefully recover...you on the other hand have got total paralysis of empathy. Not only is it pathetic that you are laughing ... but it is constant and you appear to revel in making your Dad do things to further entertain you. You should be ashamed!

I got bell's palsy when i was about 22!!! I had an acute case of it but it does royally suck!!!! Its so frustrating not making your face do what you want it to. But I'm 27 now and I can thankfully say it's back to normal. It really scared the shit out of me when I woke up with it though because I thought I had suffered a stroke in my sleep!!!

I'm on day 2 (day 3 but there was mild symptoms the first day and then diagnosed the second) I have exactly the same thing. What I do to drink is hold my mouth closed.

I really love your sense of humor with this whole process... You seem like a really cool guy and a great dad.

I know how you feel man. I had that when I was in 6th grade. Didn't notice until I got to school to eat cereal, the milk just leaked out of my mouth.

[smeeby99]

I have that and I'm 12 *cries*
