Bell’s Palsy is annoying!
Bell’s Palsy is the paralyzation of the facial nerve. This causes the muscles on one side of the face to not function. It also has decreased my taste, and caused my eye to be very dry.
Typically most people have things return to normal in less than a month, but unfortunately mine has been almost three months now. It will eventually go away, we are just not sure when.
I have tried a steroid, an antiviral, acupuncture, chiropractic, craniosacral massage, and allergy work. We will get it fixed at some point but in the meantime I am just grateful that it is not something worse.
