Wow this has been the most beautiful video I’ve watched. Thank you so much for your sweet words and encouragement. Have been experiencing Bell’s palsy for a week now. Came on KZfaq to find exercises and came across this. Definitely very heart breaking to be going through this, but your words have given me hope and I’m keeping my faith in God! Praying for my heeling🎉 thank you! ❤️

I just found out 3 hours ago that I have Bell's Palsy. Your video has given me hope and much needed encouragement. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for this! My family all try to support me through Bell’s palsy the best they can but hearing you completely relate to what I’m actually doing through really touched my heart. You definitely helped me get to a place where I could allow myself to become emotional, cry like a baby, then feel a little better, more hopeful about it going away, and a whole lot less alone! Thank you for the amazing message you chose to acknowledge and having the courage to tell the truth about God’s love.

Jessica, thank you for sharing your story and your tips! As you know, it's so easy feel alone in this. But, it's comforting to know that we are not. I was diagnosed two weeks ago. It hasn't been easy. I had two deaths in my family last month and now this. I have felt sadness, anger, bewilderment, and self-pity. After I let myself go through those emotions, I realized that it could have been a lot worse. It could have been a stroke. I could be one of those poor homeless folks on the side of the road, asking for money in this cold weather that I sometimes see on the way to work. But, I'm not. It's certainly no walk in the park, especially since my line of work involves me talking to people in person, all day, everyday. I learned two new exercises from you along with the tip about B12. I figured that this was a wake-up call for me to take better care of myself. But, I agree with you in that it's very likely a call from God to be closer to Him. So, thank you for insights and for your encouragement. Glad to know you're fully recovered and pray that you stay that way!

This is a beautiful message and it has really helped me come to terms with my own experience of Bells Palsy. The social exclusion, the embarrassment, the dread, the reality of my own mortality and the depression had me beat for a few days, but your video has given me a bit of hope. Thank you for sharing your strength

Thank you for sharing this personal experience. I have Bell’s Palsy right now after an accident and like you I believe this experience humbled me and brought me closer to God.

Thank you so much for being brave and honest and sharing your story with the world. I’m going through it right now with a case of Bells Palsey and really living a nightmare. I needed to hear some words of encouragement. You really helped me feel like I’m going to be able to get through this. Thank you again your a real inspiration and a light for good. 🙏❤️

You are an angel for posting this… thank you!

I’m in the hospital now. And be crying like you have no idea. God knew how I felt and your words made me feel much better. God bless

Thank you so much for this, I was diagnosed almost 2 months ago, & I’m slowly but surely seeing improvement with exercises and acupuncture 🙏🏽🤍 I pray everyday but it would be nice to receive a nice prayer and kind words!

It’s been FOUR MONTHS! Thank you for the encouragement. I’m clinging to The Lord.

Thank you for the encouragement!! I’m six weeks in and believing God always has a plan!

Thank you for sharing, just last night I started having these problems and my friend had someone over who's brother is a friggin neurologist! Thank God, he was able to tell me what's going on and I pray this will get better and stop soon. I am thankful for your video cause it's giving me some major hope of a full recovery~

Wow! Thank you so much this makes me feel so much better ! I am at 12 days with Bell’s palsy , and everything you said it exactly what I feel . You really tough my heart and made me feel better and knowing that I will get through this. You are right maybe God wants me to get closer to him . God always bless you !!

You Made Me Cry. Thank You For The Sweet Words Can't Wait To Heal.

First week with Bell’s palsy & this video has been the most encouraging to me. You’re such a blessing from God

Thank you so much for sharing your story , I have been experiencing bell palsy for a week now due to having my baby. I know deep in my heart god makes no mistakes

Thank you so much for posting this! I was diagnosed 2 days ago and I’ve been trying so hard not to bring myself down. Everything that you felt is what I’m feeling now. My first thought was “why me?” “Who’s going to wanna date me looking like this?” Thank you for such an inspirational video!!! I have hope and faith that I’ll get through this and I just need to trust God.

Thank you for posting this video. Just got diagnosed 2 days ago and still trying to come to terms with it. You have given me hope.

I was diagnosed with Bells Palsy on 12/28/22 and have been completely restored in three weeks. I started the meds the next day, underwent several acupuncture sessions, and did facial exercises. After completing the steroids and antiviral medicine, I began taking the B12. I'm grateful to God for the restoration and all of the helpful KZfaq videos like this one. It also helped that the acupuncturist had experience in treating patients diagnosed with Bells Palsy. My eyes close, I can twitch my nose, have my taste and smile. I also took a week off from work to get some rest. Please be encouraged!

Acupuncturist here, first thanks for sharing your story :). I wanted to share that acupuncture is very helpful and the sooner the better. Blessing

I've had BP for a year and half. Just so everyone understands there are cases where it does not go away and then becomes just facial palsy. I'm glad you talked about message and stretching. There are great videos on stretching, massage and facial excercises to help in recovery that I highly recommend. Lastly I would say make sure to be your own health advocate. If you feel things are not recovering, contact your physician.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. One of my good friends is going through this now. Your video is so full of hope and encouragement. You are a beautiful young woman and I am so glad you overcame this challenge with Gods love and mercy

Thank you for sharing & your uplifting words of encouragement!

Thank you Jessica I just got Bell’s palsy, today is my thirds day’s I kind of worry because I live active life but you’re testimony video helping me And I’m believe Jesus will heal me In His time God bless you 🙏🏼😀

I’ve been in the hospital for two days and was finally diagnosed with Bell’s palsy this afternoon. I feel so heartbroken and insecure. Very glad to saw this is the first video I’ve watched, thank you for your kind words and testimony.

Thank you for sharing your story… I’ve been dealing with Bell’s palsy for a little over a week now. Came on here to look for some therapy tips and brought me straight to your video..Thank you for your encouraging words.

Thanks for sharing! I just got diagnosed yesterday. You have a great outlook!

Thank you so much I’m going through it right now. glad you’re better.

Thank you for sharing your testimony to help others, Jessica ... God bless you, Dear Sister! ~Karen~

Thank you Jessica for sharing this difficult experience in your life. I am glad you recovered. I am not recovering yet after well over a year plus cervical surgeries. But I appreciate your encouragement.

God bless you Jessica. I'm in my third week with Bell's Palsy. I will let you know when i get better, your words really helped.

I'm going through this currently. Taking a huge toll on me emotionally. I appreciate this video ❤

Best video I've seen so far. Thank you so much for the inspiration. I'm going on my 3rd day of full symptoms and it definitely is very scary. Going to follow your direction and do the facial exercises and take B12. Also going to the doctor tomorrow to see about the steroid shots. Very inspirational words about faith and leaning on loved ones. My daughter's birthday was yesterday and I couldn't even enjoy the festivities with family and friends. I just wanted to be alone. But this video has inspired me and reminded me to lean on family and friends because they love you unconditionally.

Thank u so much for being a light!!! This is the MOST encouraging video about Bells Palsy that I’ve seen! I feel sooooo much better! Thank u so so much! U are truly a blessing! I thank God for u! 🙌🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much for this video!! I have been going through this for 4 days and I have been so depressed. This video gives me hope! I just can’t wait for this to pass! Thank you!

Thank you for your video! Was diagnosed with Bell’s palsy 2 weeks ago today and have struggled with it. I speak for my job and have had an extremely hard time dealing with the recovery so o can get back to work normally. I am doing acupuncture and everything trying to heal and no dice yet. Your video is encouraging and has given me some exercises to start. Thank you!

I got it in August of 2019and gave totally healed. It is encouraging to hear your positive story.

I cannot tell you how much this helped me. I am a Christian also and what you said about getting humbled. All good stuff. My Bell Palsy started 08/11/2023. I'm learning everything I can. Thank you for taking time to help others.

Great tips. Beautiful young lady. Thank you for sharing.

So encouraging!! I got Bell’s palsy a few days ago on the verge of having my first baby. Apparently pregnant women are more at risk of this happening. I had been feeling a bit of anxiety bc you don’t wanna have this while welcoming your baby, but your video really encouraged me. God did send it to me, even though it’s 3 years old! 🙏🏼

My husband has been diagnosed since 2011 on his left side as well. 🥺 I will take your advice in the massaging and see what the results are. Thank you for this video. Happy to know you are healed. ❤

I was just diagnosed yesterday! My brother sent me this video . Thank you for sharing .

I have Bell's palsy. Dx 2 days ago. My left side. I'm doing my exercises and taking my meds. I'm so thankful for your video. It is what I needed to hear. This is painful and I'm scared. I feel alone when I know I'm not. I know it's God's work that I saw your video. Thank you 🙏

Thank You for the video.. I am also a believer and going through this bell palsy journey... and i believe God is also humbling me..🦋

Love the video. Been dealing with Bell’s palsy for about a month now. Lot of depression with not having my smile and hope this is clear by the time my baby is born. Hope everyone else gets better if you still have it!

Thank you was feeling ugly and self conscious. You gave me Hope. Thanks girly

Thanks for the lovely video Jess x

I just want to say I wish I would of been more acknowledged about this back like 12 years ago . I’m going through it right now it’s my second day , and it’s my 4th time but it’s been literally a decade since I got it . I fully understand how you feel and how humiliated it can be. My first time I got it was during 6 or 7th grade which were one of the most embarrassing moments in my life. Honestly I was made fun of. I never fully regained my facial nerves back but you couldn’t really tell unless I pointed it out. The first two times I did go back to normal . I wish I would of gotten treatment and found a doctor who was more acknowledged of my situation. You are truly amazing for coming out, and very encouraging and bless you for that.

My son, who is 5 was just diagnosed with bells palsy. Thank you for sharing this.

Very inspiring. Thank you for sharing your story. Doc’s said i joined the club. Can’t wait to recover. The positivity you brought and the believe certainly helps. Thank you

Thanks for the pep talk. I'm on day 5 now and already feel on the road to recovery!

Jessica, thank you so much for sharing your story. Same here, after having a migraine for whole day I started to feel not right on Saturday night. Spoke with my doctor over the phone on Monday and she thought that I might have BP or mini stroke and my doc recommended give a call to ambulance or go straight to A&E. My husband took me to A&E where I was diagnosed with BP. I have been prescribed with prednisolone in high dose, a gastro-resistant tablets, eye drops to use during the day and eye ointment for the night time, plus to use a tape to tape my eye for the night time. All that is very terrifies me but after watching your video it truly gives me hope to be as normal as before. This morning I had an ophthalmologist appointment who checked at the back of my affected eye and confirmed its all good there. So I started to think positive after that and hope for full recovery too. Also after doing some research how to treat BP naturally I ordered some echinacea tablets and elderberry syrup to support my immune system. Wishing the best to all, especially to those who are suffering with BP right now and wishing you a full recovery soon.

Thanks for your encouragement. I noticed funny changes in my face, watering eye,couldn't hold water in my mouth and I was on night shift. In morning I was at A&E department and was diagnosed put on steroids which is ending on 17/07. Am attending acupuncture therapy on key points twice a week from Chinese . I do apply warm towel on my face twice a day plus Castro oil. Am really desperate to get back to my normal. Have just started my 2nd week. So painful the way I chew, drink and swallow. We need to raise more awareness about this as more pple are getting this condition so that GP and nurses can give proper management and advice. I salute you Jessica

1 second ago I woke with this Monday morning after feeling a weird sensation for 2 days behind my right ear. It has affected my right side and it’s only day 3. Thank you for this amazing and very welcome video. I needed to see this and I thank you for being brave.

I got diagnosed last week and it’s definitely been tough. Thanks for the video, this was exactly what I needed to hear!

Thank you so much for this Jessica. I'm a week in, using the steroids and I'm not afraid to admit psychologically this is affecting me. As self centred as it sounds my confidence has been sapped I hate leaving home and feel pretty ugly. I'm hopeful I'll make progress over the next few weeks. I'm getting married in June and the idea of posing for pictures and being the centre of attention fills me with dread! The emotions you describe resonate massively and I hope to recover as quickly as you did! Thank you again for lifting my spirits and sharing your story it will inspire many 😊

This was a great video, I’m going to week 2 and I was feeling really down on myself, but this video helped a lot, thank you so much

I’m on my third week, and this vid has just made my day thank you so much.

Thanks you, so much. For this video and your words of encouragement. I just caught it, this weekend. And, I was looking for facial exercises to help the healing process. And, I found your video. Just what I needed to hear. AT the right time. Thank you So much, and God bless.

I’ve had it for over 7 years and I’m still not fully healed :( you r so beautiful and have the kindest heart. I needed this thank you

I was diagnosed today and i am very sad and depressed. But your video lifted my spirit about this. you gave me hope that everything will be okay 💕

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I have had it for one week now and I am on medication. Please pray for me 🙏🏽.

Congratulations for Recovering Thank God you recovered and Everything is normal now Your smile is cute ...keep smiling

Thanks for leaving this video here on KZfaq. Many people will be encouraged by your message. The best of all is that you're not shy to talk about our dear God. I strongly believe in him too. God knows what we need he knows what's best for his people. May good bless you 🙏🏼

Hi Jessica, the exact thing happened to me 2 days ago - as you can understand that i am freaking out and emotionally distraught. I rarely comment on videos, but I owe you a a big thank you for calming me down and give me hope. Thank you so much for taking your time to make such a video. ps. i’m a tennis fanatic and a coach :) was excited to hear you’re a pro.

Thanks so much really needed this . I Thank God you made this video I hope that your are continually blessed and Thanks for sharing your beliefs in Christ. God bless

I was diagnosed with Bells palsy in the ER 9 days ago after helping my husband through lung surgery. On prednisone and anti-virals for a few more days, and starting to look into acupuncture and b12 vitamins. Worst are the eye symptoms and headaches. I can taste fine, but my hearing is hyper-acute on the effected side, and my speech is somewhat impaired. I sound like I have a bag of marbles in my mouth. I need a clear voice and a nice smile for work! Hoping this all heals quickly but my age and pre-existing health conditions are also factors. It's a very difficult time right now.

Thank You very much for this video. it Is helping me to feel encouraged to have faith and that this will heal!

Thanks for the nice words. Make me feel better as I have this already. For 4 weeks

Thank you soo much!!! Currently dealing with Bells Palsy and this is the best video I've found on it!!!

Thank you VERY much for posting this video. I’m on day 7 of Bell’s Palsy. God has a plan, I agree. May God continue to bless you and your entire beautiful family.

Thank yoh so much for making this video, and encourage other thag are going thru, I'm in my 3rd day of Bell's palsy :( it is depressing, but your words are very helpful. God bless you!

Thank you for making this video & sharing your story. I’m on day 4 day it’s affecting me mentally. But this too shall pass. Bless you.

Thank you. This was helpful!

Your mom is right! You are helping me ❤ . My job was to help with graduation today. 400 graduates taking role, offering hair pins for caps and band aids for young ladies shoes. I came home and came across your inspiring,informative loving video.

Thank you so much for this Jessica. I was diagnosed 10 days ago and it’s been very difficult. Your story came to me after I prayed to God for hrs. I believe he sent this video to me. To encourage me. Thank you again and God bless you

I just developed Bell's Palsy on my left side. I've cried, and am depressed. I've started doing the exercises and hope I don't have it for too long. I love you for talking about getting closer to God. I totally believe that! Thank you for this video. ❤

You're just beautiful !! God bless you!! you're a lovely girl

It's been 16 months ago for me..from my beginning days finding out having Bell's Palsy with so many emotions, no clue how to process to recovery I came across your video,God Bless you and Thank You so much your encouragement uplifting words help me to continue to stay positive and help myself to safely recover well close to 16 days i did🙏🙏 ..its been over a year later since the experience, and here I come across again your video.. Thank you Ms.Jessica for sharing your story💞

Thank you for this, you were so sweet and kind specially in the beginning saying we are still beautiful even with Bell’s palsy

thank you i’m not a christian but i did take your words to my heart.

Thank you so much for this , I was diagnosed with Bell's palsy yesterday it was scary I thought it was a stroke.

God bless you Jessica ❤ I got bells palsy just four days ago. Soon I consult with a doctor within three weeks need your blessings ❤

I'm entering week three of my struggle with Bell's palsy. I'm seeing slow but steady improvement. I love this video because, as a Christian myself, I know how important it is to approach what I'm experiencing from a spiritual perspective. I also believe that God knows best and will always have my back no matter what. That being the case, I see this as an opportunity to exercise my faith for His glory and to perhaps contemplate what lessons I'm supposed to learn from this. I've remained positive and prayerful so far through all of this, which has NOT been easy to do; especially since I make my living on TV and my face is critical to doing my job. Despite my optimism and positive attitude, this has been a very frustrating and painstaking time for me and I don't by any means want to give the impression that this is anything less than a totally life-changing experience while it's happening--and not in a good way. So for me, it is incredibly inspiring and encouraging to listen to you discuss your experience from a Christian perspective. Thank you for that and God bless you.

Thank you for sharing your video I'm currently dealing with bell palsy and I'm only 34 yr old. I'm going learn to not stress and stop worrying and also went to the doctor

thank you for your story i was diagnosed this week and im a healthcare worker who is infront of ppl everyday and its very depressing. i plan to beat it.

Ahh I'm only 12 years old and going through it.It's so depressing and wasting my time and look.But still hoping and praying.Seeing u being fully recovered,motivates me😔💚

Thank you, there is hope. I'm a week in with Bells Palsey have been feeling depressed and lots of crying. I will be working with exercises to hopefully heal quickly. Again thank you for the encouragement.

Thank you for doing this video. I was just recently diagnosed with Bell's Palsy 3 days ago. I'am glad I found a Video with someone who totally relates to how I feel. I been so down about this happening to me. Thanks for the advice and the exercises for the face. I 'am going to do these. Hope I get better quick.. I don't like being Sick where your brain tells your face on the side that's paralyzed to move and it won't makes me frustrated. To all fighting Bell's Palsy I wish you all the best.

I been expecting this for a week i was so scary thank you for the video it really helps 🙏❤

Thank for video I'm going through it right now I'm on 2nd week. This is my second time in life going through this I had 7 years but she is depressing and emotional but it does get better hopefully for some. But I do love video it put people who all going through this at ease
