I was diagnosed with Bells Palsy today and given steroids. I am devastated although the doctor said I will recover and your video has given me hope thank you Raquel xx

Here is my Bell's Palcy Full Recovery in One Month Story: On Oct 19th, 2022, I woke up and while brushing my teeth I felt that I was able to keep the water in my mouth or gargill the water effectively. I couldn't move my lips and started feeling numbness on my left side. I went to see a doctor and was diagnosed with bell's palsy. Rather than recovery, it was shock which I was not able to handle. Looking at your face in the mirror was a nightmare. So many questions. I was fortunate enough that my primary physician recommended me to go to the emergency room. No doubt It was one of the most horrible experiences of my life. The ER doctor immediately put me on a seven-day steroids plan. They did MRI to rule out any other possibility. Believe me, waiting in the ER and not knowing what would happen and if everything would be OK was killing me. Unfortunately, other than medicine, they didn't recommend me anything else. Whereas all the KZfaq videos suggest starting the exercise immediately. I was surprised by the statement from the neurologist that 'study shows exercises will help with the bell's play recovery'. I reached out to doctors in India and they recommended me to start the exercises and electric stimulation immediately. Getting an appointment with a physiotherapist immediately in the USA was a nightmare. Also, they won't start any treatment without any approval from the insurance company. Fortunately, my physical therapy center was accommodative and they too mention that early exercises and electric stimulation helps with quicker recovery. They immediately set up the exercise plan with electrical stimulation. For those who are going through this, my recommendation is do not lose hope.It is just temporary and you will recover for sure. But no matter what you do, the first two weeks (in my case, 13 days) you will not see any progress. Treat this like any other infection and believe me, you will recover for sure. Here are a total of 22 exercises I did religiously three times a day, in addition to electric stimulation. For physical therapy, my sister-in-law, who is a doctor in India, helped me on a daily basis via video call. TRUST ME - Do not loose hope and have patience. I recovered fully in one month. You may take a little less or little more. But, believe me, exercises are going to help you recover quickly. By the end of two weeks, I started seeing improvement and, by the end of the fourth week, recovered 100% . Exercises: 1. Raise eyebrows (active and passive) - Five sets Raise eyebrows, hold 3 sec and then repeat. On the paralysed size you have to take help of your fingers to raise the eyebrows. Remember, your nerve has been damaged and you are stimulating and re-educating the nerve. 2. Bring eyebrows near center line (active and passive) - Five sets 3. Close your eyes fully (only active) - Five sets 4. Raise your nose and do sniffing (active and passive) - Five sets 5. Wide smile (active and passive) - Five sets 6. Teeth Clenching and wide smile (active and passive) - Five sets 7. Lower lip out with passive support for symmetry (active and passive) - Five sets 8. Neck exercise - Move your neck in all directions - Ten sets 9. Wide open mouth - Five sets 10. Cheek air puffing - Five sets 11. Ballon puffing - Five sets 12. Rincee the mouth with water - Five sets 13. Candle blowing from 6-8 inches - Five sets 14. Tongue Out, Eyeball up, hold three seconds - Ten sets 15. Roll eyeballs in all directions with hold of one second - Ten sets 16. Selfi lips for bringing symmetry back (active and passive) - Five sets 17. Rotate tongue in all directions - Ten sets with five seconds hold 18. Say 'Om' loud - Ten sets 19. Facial massage - Five sets of 10 seconds 20. Facial massage of affcted size 21. Your non-affected side is going to do lot of work as other side is paralysed. You have to give some comfort to non-affexted side with light massage and heat warming pad 22. Jaw pressing - 20 sets In addition to these exercises, I watched videos below during my recovery journey: Videos: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qbOHe7p5u92rYas.html&ab_channel=HealthQ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9eRlKqEnNbdeX0.html&ab_channel=PhysioClassroom kzfaq.info/get/bejne/irKih7x5qZzLiGw.html&ab_channel=PhysioClassroom kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9Ofobqbm8XIg2w.html&ab_channel=HealthQ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j7qKYKViypa5nKs.html&ab_channel=HealthQ Stay positive and recover soon.
