I feel like I need a shot of optimism. That I'll be able to get through Bell's Palsy and without symptoms.
Can anyone here share their story of success to give us some inspiration?
(I don’t have Bell’s, I have permanent 7th cranial nerve damage from a birth injury)
Has anyone had any surgeries on your face to help make you look more “normal”? What type of surgery was it, and what were the results? What kind of doctor did you see to get the process started? And, because I’m from the US, did you have any luck with getting your insurance to cover it? I feel like maybe my eye issues might be enough to get it to be considered as medically necessary, but on the other hand my optometrist hasn’t had any luck with getting my insurance to cover my prescription Meibo eyedrops so that’s probably a pipe dream I guess.
Just feeling down about myself and tired of it all these days.
Is this a normal side effect of Bells? I've been dizzy all day today, I'm about 2.5 weeks after diagnosis now, had a 10 day course of steroids. My face has ever so slightly improved but now this dizzy feeling is really throwing me off. That and I'm just exhausted allllll of the time.
hi everyone, I was diagnosed 4 days ago and I am starting treatment today
sometimes my neck and jaw hurt, but I’m not sure if I can alleviate the pain by applying heat, cold, or if I should just endure it and leave it be
thanks in advance!
