Bell's Palsy :: Face Drooped - Numb Tongue - Unable To Close Eyes
I am 24 and am suffering with bell's palsy AGAIN. I first had it at the age 18 and also the opposite side which is weird? A couple of weeks ago my 1year old lb accidentally headbutted me and it was 2 days after that the numb tongue and headaches started. Since that my face has drooped as well and can't even close my eye i have 2 young babies and suffer terrible headaches. Im now waiting on an mri to see if there are any fractures on my skull as with a blow to the head can also cause bell's palsy
View 1 RepliesBell's Palsy :: Started With Numbness On The Right Side Of My Lips
Mine started about a week ago, with a numbness on the right side of my lips. It spread to my right cheek and eye the next day. My right ear is super sensitive to sound, my eye doesn't close, chewing food is difficult, I can't spit (brushing teeth) and my speech is slurred. Terribly stressful and embarrassing.
I'm using straws to drink, eye drops constantly (with a patch when at home) and now carry earplugs. Perhaps there's useful tips you can share on how you deal or dealt with it.
Anxiety :: Mouth, Tongue And Lips Burning
It's been about 2 weeks that my mouth, tongue and lips are burning. No fever and nor runny nose. No coughing, headaches, and any other symptoms.
Today I saw my pharynx and found some red small scratches. I also feel some phlegm coming down from the nose to the throat.
I took a tablespoon of honey and I felt relief.
I'm experiencing a anxiety crisis and I'm wondering whether it could be due to that.
Can you guys give me some orientation?

View 1 RepliesBell's Palsy Or A Stroke?
My mother was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy on Sept 2nd, 1 week ago. She has left sided facial paralysis, but she also has COMPLETE left sided weakness. The left sided weakness started about 2 days after her face. The doctors have done CTs and MRIs with contrast and ruled out a stroke, but they do not know why she has left sided weakness. Has anyone else had complete left/right weakness with Bell's Palsy? Also since the diagnosis of Bell's Palsy my mother has been confused at times, her memory is horrible (can't remember her SSN now), has trouble saying what she is thinking at times, and is just NOT the same. Anyone with similar symptoms please help! The doctors are saying possible early onset of dementia??? My mother is 49. I have just never heard of all these symptoms with Bell's Palsy

View 2 RepliesBell's Palsy :: Back After 14 Months
I had Bell's Palsy last year and with in 14 months i got it back. First time i think it took around 6 weeks to recover 90%. I still have some signs of it. During First time - i had pain behind my ear for 3 days and on 4th day - I started noticing something wrong and by the end of the day - i had total facial paralysis on my left side.
Now for second time - it is so weird that i had pain for almost 5 days and on 6th day i started noticing changes and by end of the day i am still normal and by end of 7 day it got worse.
I went to Doctor and he kind of confirmed Bells Palsy ( not sure whether he is 100% sure) and gave me Steroids and Antivirals.
Weird part is why is it so slow this time - after 2 complete days of initial symptoms - i am still able to close my eyes ( forcefully and not like the other one) and i am still able to smile little bit ( very slightly). Is it something normal to Bell's Palsy or i have something else.
Bell's Palsy - During Pregnancy - Can't Take Steroids
I am getting desperate I got bells palsy during my pregnancy i was not allowed to take the steroids because i was told it might harm the baby so they said just to wait it out and after i give birth it should fix its self well it hasn't. I tried physiotherapy, acupuncture I'm taking complex vitamin b tablets. Nothing is working im starting to feel really depressed at the possibility that i will never be able to smile again or look normal. I didn't take any photos with my son during his birth and he is now 8 months and i don't have many photos with him i don't want to be remembered as a monster.
Everyone always says oh i cant tell, you look fine , don't worry about it but its hard to believe them when they aren't the ones suffering.
I cant afford to spend 120 a week on acupuncture so i'm thinking i have to stop i have been doing it for 2 months.

View 3 RepliesBell's Palsy :: Discomfort In My Left Eye - The First Sign
The first sign that something was not right was a discomfort in my left eye.While trying to put mascara on my left eyelashes I couldn't bring my eyelid down to meet the brush and on looking in the mirror I noticed that my eye appeared more open than the right eye and on blinking my right eye blinked at a faster rate than the left. Of course panic immediately set in, then I noticed that I couldn't blow my left cheek out as much as my right cheek. I then tried to whistle and noticed that the left side of my mouth didn't look the same as the right. Oh no, first thought was I was having a stroke. My husband immediately ran me to the a@e at my local hospital. After undergoing routine tests and describing my symptoms the doctor diagnosed Bells Palsy and advised a course of steroids and antiviral tablets as well as eye drops to moisten the eye, eye cream to put in at night and tape to stick my eye closed when I went to bed.
