Bell's Palsy- recovered in less than a month

Hi, this is just a video tracking my improvements with Bell's Palsy over the past month.

I woke up on August 17 with facial paralysis.
I was tested for Lyme's Disease and all that jazz and everything came back negative so no one really knows how I got it.

did you doctor start you on another round of steroids? I finished my round and I don't know if I should

@happylilgirlie11

Originally they gave me a week's worth of steroids... then they gave me more. I took them because what harm could it do? Sorry it took me so long to respond. How are you doing so far?

I was on prednisone and antivirials.

if you just want someone to talk to, you can email me!

you not alone my daugther has bp too shee is goin in 2 moths shee is better it just slow prosses she is 7 years old

[sylviasfrosting]

@ggg181604 I'm sure she'll be better in no time :) especially since she is younger. Where are you located? I would highly recommend the acupuncturist that I saw. after each session, my face felt a lot more relaxed and so I saw improvements the following days. He also suggested I consume a lot of ginger tea because ginger helps relax muscles. I have other tips if youd like to know. just shoot me an email :)

Thank you so much for posting this video! I got Bells Palsy on Feb 6 and am now at about 90%!!! I also did the antivirals and steroids and all kinds of vitamins as well as massaged my face all throughout the day and drank this amazing tea called Spring Dragon. I'm not sure which thing has made it go away this fast and not become as severe as people I know who have had it, but I'm just happy it's going away!!!! My one friend said he's had it 3 separate times!!! Now that's scary!! But Thank You!!

Hi! My mom just got Bell's Palsy 5 days ago and she is going through a depression because she can't work and doesn't want to be seen. Can you tell me what kind of therapy and massages you did. did you get them done professionally or do them yoursefl? my mom started accupuncture but of course it was the first time and we can't see a difference. please let me know what you did to recover so fast. thanks so much!

Nice!! U have recovered quite quickly. I had mine in 2010 april. still no where close to how u have recovered. But its definately better than before.

@mzsmartypantz28 Has it gotten better? It was devastating so I totally understand wanting to hide.

[sylbie]

@DHammerr I'm not a doctor but if it hasn't worsened, I don't think you should worry...

[sylbie]

SORRY EVERYONE, I haven't logged into my account in... too long and haven't seen any of the comments!

[DHammerr]

what was the FIRST symptom you had ? I have a lazy eyelid, moves slower than the other eyelid, you think i have this condition ?

[mzsmartypantz28]

I was just diagnosed 3 days ago & have been on Prednisone & Valtrex for 3 days. At first it was funny to me but today has been a bad day I have been feeling sorry for myself. I start acupuncture tomorrow and hope that it helps. I don't know how I will do tomorrow at work or school but I can't stay home and hide. Life goes on I guess. I don't want to be superficial and I know that it could be worse but it does suck having this disease. Thank you for been so brave & giving me hope. ;-/

this made me feel a little better. did you take vitamin B at all? are you 100% now?

[TheWhistlingHen]

Wow that was quick! I was diagnosed with BP on 11/02/11 so I just started this journey and am bummed out, it was good to see your video, it gave me hope. I have a vid up as well. Thanks again!
