Bell's Palsy - April's Diary

April is a young 20 year old woman who has developed the facial weakness known as Bells Palsy. The incidence of Bells palsy in males and females, as well as in the various races is also approximately equal. The chances of the condition being mild or severe, and the rate of recovery is also equal. Bells palsy is a condition that causes the facial muscles to weaken or become paralyzed. It's caused by trauma to the 7th cranial nerve, and is not permanent.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, it really helps! I have Bells Palsy for 3 and a half months now. I got it 5 days after my baby was born and was in the ICU. She is fine which is a miracle. As for me I had good improvement after the first two months and now it is taking forever it feels like it stopped. I still have hope to recover more, but the best part is that now i can smile at my baby girl. wish you and everyone that has BP the best of luck, patience and strength.

Hey, I have had permanent bell's palsy as a result of a car accident when I was 8, so 22 years now. I had a muscle nerve graft surgery 2 years ago in Toronto and now I can smile. I know what you are going through and it is not easy but it will make you very strong. Keep up your optimism it will go a long way. And don't worry about your looks you are still very attractive. Good luck with your recovery:)
