Sorry to hear this. I know people who have experienced this condition and they all say that it is extremely painful.
I 'll bump your post up to see if there is a fellow sufferer here.
Sorry to hear about this John. One thing after another. I'm afraid I know nothing about it, but I do wish you a speedy recovery.
Sorry to hear that mate, keep posting mate. Let us know how you are doing.
Hi. I have had Bells Palsy twice. The first time I was 5 & the second time was when I was 12. Am 53 now so don't really remember that much about it. I know I saw a physiotherapist weekly & had to do facial exercises to encourage the muscle tone recover. Both times I recovered fully after about 8 weeks or so. Good luck & I'm sure all will be well for you.

Hi. Sorry to hear about your bells palsy. I had this around twenty years ago. I woke up one Sunday morning and thought I had a stroke. Apparently it never is cured but can lie dormant. I Could not speak and had to drink through a straw. Doctor said that there is not much they can do about it and it's never returned. However it has left me with tinnitus ( ringing in the ears). This comes and goes and can wake me sometimes. I had it for around eight weeks before it completely disappeared. I do also sometimes get a twitching nerve since the unfortunate experience. Can't offer much more except that it's apparently quite common.

Mr Chris has tinnitus (too many years of loud music) and saw the doc some years ago and was told that if it kept him awake he should try listening to BBC world service on radio to block the noises out. Very helpful!Hi. Sorry to hear about your bells palsy. I had this around twenty years ago. I woke up one Sunday morning and thought I had a stroke. Apparently it never is cured but can lie dormant.

Hi John, really sorry to hear about the Bells Palsy. My brother has had it twice, once when he was in his forties, and again a couple of years ago (late sixties) the gp didn't really offer anything apart from steroids and it took quite a while for it to settle down Main problem was drinking which he managed to get around by holding his lips together on the affected side. It's one of those things I think that will go at its own pace. Hope it's not too painful for you and don't forget that if it gets you down you can rely on us to try and give you a lift.
