I had bells palsy for 3rd time at age of 21 is this serious ???and what's its main cause
@jessica_augenstein2 ай бұрын
Oh wow 3 times I can’t even imagine. Do you still have it? I’ve had it twice now myself. Well I don’t know the main cause. From research I’ve done it can be from a virus, stress, or an affect of a vaccine. First time I had Bells was actually right after I got a vaccine to play tennis in college and at the same time I was recovering from strep, pneumonia and mono at once, yep I tested positive for all 3. There’s a great Facebook page on Bell’s palsy where I’ve learned a lot of info since getting it a second time last year

I can understand your fear and I’ve had similar fears about BP and other things in life. But I encourage you not to let fear of this or anything prevent you from living a life filled with joy and contentment. When we’re faced with fear like this these verses come to mind. If you have a Bible (if you don’t google kjv scripture) memorize, meditate and master them. You’ll soon find that fear will be nothing. Philippians 4:6-7 Isaiah 26:3 2 Timothy 1:7 2 Corinthians 10:5 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

Does STEROID Medication help? Any drug dangers or side effects?
@jessica_augenstein5 ай бұрын
The first time I had it I used the steroid prednisone and it did help but with ANY medication there is always a possibility of risks or side affects. Thankfully I never had any issues. The second time I got it was this past May and I was 13 weeks pregnant so I took an antiviral that was considered safe for pregnancy. Prednisone is not safe for pregnancy. I had zero issues with the antiviral and my baby is totally healthy (was born in Nov). I also had a shorter time with Bells the second time around but I don’t think but was all credited to the antiviral

Thank you for replying. Yeah, it's been about close to a month now that I've had this. And I am getting movement back in my left side. But it is not the same as my right side. But I'll tell you this , it has really made me, Realize to take battery care of myself. And I've learned a lot about the face. As funny as that sounds I can move my eyebrow. I can slightly wrinkle my forehead again. And the side of my mouth is now starting to move again. I can't believe how happy it is that I'm able to spit again. I know it sounds crazy. The small things that we take for granted how much they matter. When you start to regain them. I'm not where I need to be. But I am definitely happy that I see movement in my face. I thank you for your video God bless you. Thank you for replying to me.

Most beautiful video I've seen about Bell's Palsy. I'm on day 12 and noticing improvement, but the process is slow. I'm thankful that I can see a progress and don't want to be ungrateful so I keep reminding myself that it could have been worse. I'm lucky to have mild symptoms, but yeh when it comes to facial nerves, it is a slow process. I was prescribed Prednisone for 10 days and tomorrow is my last. For how long did you take them? And did you take antivirals as well? Did you try acupuncture or recommend it? Praying for everyone to fully recover and so happy for you to be healthy again. Thank you for your words and encouragement! God bless!

I’m sorry you’re going through this right now! You’re wise to remind yourself to be grateful yes it could be worse and you’re doing the right things to heal! Be encouraged you’re seeing improvement already!!! I had it again in may while I was pregnant and noticed improvement around end of first week and it only lasted a month! I don’t remember how long I took prednisone but I think it was similar to 10 days. In may I took antivirals that we’re “safe” for pregnancy and that was about a week. I’ve never had acupuncture but I heard it can help. Lord willing you’re near the end of this:)

I developed Bell’s Palsy last year (4 Aug 2022). I still have facial paralysis now (1 Oct 2023). My paralysis will never get any better, that’s the official diagnosis from an ENT consultant. I can only drink through a straw, without it the liquid runs out of the right side of my mouth. When I eat I have to hold a napkin up to the right side of my mouth to avoid the food leaking out. My mouth movements control my eye movement. When I try to smile my right eye closes and I look like a gargoyle. I don’t go out any more, I avoid seeing anyone.

Beautiful explanation and sharing were AWESOME!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!! Bless you for all you have helped me and other people. I had been diagnosed with Bell's Palsy which also affects speaking and swallowing. Yes, you can get depressed looking in the mirror..I totally avoid doing it. Mainly because I could feel the unnatural gravity pull. It has become less apparent...took about 2 weeks to see some difference. I was really afraid of swallowing...which I found very difficult. I wore sunglasses most of the time ...until the very apparent facial differences slowly changed.
