This vid was taken yesterday 10/17/07 so I obviously still have it. I am told repeatedly that it goes away in 2-3 weeks

I came down with Bells Palsy and will be 6 months tomorrow. I am almost better.

It take along time to recover!

FYI, the "bell phenomenon" can be seen here if you observe closely. When you try to close the affected eyelid, there is an upward movement of the eye. Thanks for posting this.

haha when i looked at my comments and this came up i didnt have a clue what you were talking about i had completly forgot about this it cleared up about 2 weeks after that comment one of my school teachers had it and she now has a twitch. i think the earlier u get treated the better and hopefully if ur giving steroids you are one of the people they work on.

good luck anyway mate ;)

Stay positive and keep strong man. I've been having a rough year too. Not only did i get this two months ago, but i got a ton of other things piled up all at once. It'll get better, if it hasn't already.

I got this three years ago and recovered within three weeks. Two months ago, woke up with it again, only this time it's worse--the recovery has been a lot slower. And i've also had intense pain in my eye and the affected side of my head and face. I've had migraines off and on all of my life but this is worse. I dont' have insurance and it's been tough.
