Accupuncture was not even discussed by my doctors during my current bout with BP.

I'm now into my 9th month.

First bout with BP was over 15 years ago and I made a full recovery in 5 weeks.

I still can't whistle. I still have a hard time eating. I still can't drink properly from a glass. I still can't smile right. Still have only one eyebrow movement. I now however, don't need to wear sunglasses fulltime during the daylight hours (indoor or out).

@jschrauwen Western doctors typically do not suggest Chinese Wholistic techniques as a form of therapy! (It's so sad!) Western Medicine thinks there is a drug to cure everything... not true!

My whistle is SLOWLY returning too. Last week nothing, but this week, I am able to make a few recognizable notes! Not sure if it's recovery or if I'm getting good at changing the shape of my tongue to compensate! HAHA

PS... my eyebrow took about 8 months to return also. Now, it's at 90%! Keep hope!

You are an absolute inspiration to young girls everywhere struggling to live up to the so called "beauty" that we are bombarded with on a daily basis. You also are an inspiration to those who know their own bodies and wish not to follow doctors orders but willing to put in the hard work to get their desired results.

You inspire me. From an aspiring Osteopath.

@mykinfoknew Thank you sooo much for your kind words! I am so glad I inspire others! I am glad that by putting up these videos of me at my worst, I will prove to others that with faith & positivity, anything is possible!

I agree with everything you said. I have had BP for two years. Your body heals on its own. But I can say this Bells has a lot to do with stress. It is caused by a viral. Yoga anything with calming affects helps. Also removing negative people from my life that were stressing me out helped. I am still healing and my face is still coming back. I go to the Gym,eat healthy and take a lot of B12. The body heals slowly and a full recovery will come! :D

raw is better, use a blender. that way the vitamins and chi stay in the food.

@chantals44 The medicine that they give people at onset of BP is typically a steroid and an anti-viral. Since after 2 years, the virus will definitely be gone, there is NO point in taking the anti-viral. Also, after 2 years, the inflammation caused by the virus will also be significantly reduced (If not gone altogether)

My opinion is that medicine will NOT help you recover any more at this time.

But therapy MIGHT get you some mobility and strength back in your affected facial muscles.
