Thank you for sharing this Jessica. I’m really glad that you made a full recovery. This video has made me feel a lot more optimistic. 😊 My Bell’s Palsy was triggered by a really nasty ear infection. 26 days ago, I woke up unable to move the left side of my face. My symptoms are dizziness, ringing in the ear/reduced hearing (despite the infection gone), unable to blink, move my eyebrows or smile. Thankfully I have been to the ear clinic and my ear drum is fine. I spoke to a lady who also had this problem and she said as her Bell’s Palsy healed, her hearing come back, so that’s encouraging. I am optimistic that I am on the road to recovery. I have been doing facial massages every day and getting plenty of rest. My resting face now looks a lot more symmetrical and I have started to get tingling sensations in my face, which I believe indicates the start of recovery. My dizziness is also easing. 😊 I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. I believe this is God’s way of telling me to slow down and this has made me incredibly grateful for simple things such as blinking, smiling and hearing properly. I trust that God will heal me. I cannot wait to be better and enjoy all those things that I took for granted. 😊

Thanks for sharing!

Got Bell's on 09/10/2024...this video is excellent 🎉

Congrats on your healing I was diagnosed 5 days ago doing everything possible to speed the recovery hopefully this doesn't last long doing all exercises my eye is the worse part of all of this because I am so active cant really drive is what is getting me down,,, Thanks for the video I am catholic as well and I pray . God Bless You and good luck with your tennis I am a huge fan of tennis just don't play not good enough lol..

Thank you for your story and sharing how it drew you closer to god .. I thought I was having a bad migraine and it ended up being a combination of Bell’s palsy . I am scared but will persevere and have my smile back .. thank you again ❤

Thank you so much for this. I am going through this right now, and I'm having a ton of emotions 😕. I appreciate you making this video

You’re amazing, thanks so much for sharing. You’ve inspired me to start sharing my story too.

Thank you, Jessica. Your story is encouraging. I woke up 3 days ago with the right side of my face paralyzed. That afternoon, I saw a neurologist who confirmed the Bells Palsy diagnosis. I'm scheduled for a brain MRI Tuesday morning. I'm a 61 yr old man and I thought I was having a stroke I can't I was overwhelmingly relieved with the diagnosis but it's better than the alternative. It is incredibly depressing. The last thing I want to do is be seen in public. 1 1/2 months seems like an incredibly long time right now, especially knowing that there is no gaurantee it will go away by then . I've read that in 20% of the cases it never does. Thank you again for sharing your story

I was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy yesterday. Thank you for sharing your story. It has given me hope for the future.

i have affected by this now, your video gives hope

Thank you so much Jessica for your uplifting words I am on day 2 with Bells Palsy. Completely devastated but with your encouragement and praying it is temporary I'll keep positive. P.S. You have a beautiful smile xx <3

Thank you so much for this video. I was so scared of all the unknowns and how long it would last. I prayed to God it wouldn't last more than a month. I am 15 years old. About three weeks ago, I was laughing with my cousin and she said "Tiana, your smile is really weird." and I realized I couldn't move half my face. My grandma took me to the hospital and they looked at me and said "get the girl straight to the emergency room ASAP!" I got rushed to the emergency room in an ambulance. they thought I was having a stroke. I went through all the scans and they all looked good. Praise the Lord it wasn't a stroke! I also had very very bad headaches leading up to this. I couldn't get out of bed they were so bad. Idk if the headaches had anything to do with this. The doctors didn't think it was bell's palsy because they could see the wrinkles when I raised my eyebrows on both sides. But then the next day I woke up and it got worse and I couldn't close my right eye. And then the next day it was even worse and I coudnt raise my eyebrow. We called the doctors again and the prescribed me steroids. The next Monday we went to the doctor and I got my blood drawn and they prescribed me antibiotics. I remember looking at the doctor and asking her how long this is going to last. She looked at me and then my grandma and back at me and told me it could last just a few weeks to months to years. When I heard years , my brain was fixed only on that for the next few hours. I was so mad. I was so angry. This was so so hard. It felt like God was punishing me. I now look back and realize God was punishing me, rather using it as an opportunity to trust him. It was so hard not being able to smile. looking at old photos and wondering if I'd ever get it back. Looking at other people's post and thinking how lucky they are to be able to smile.. I told myself I'm not going to go anywhere for months, I wanted to be homeschooled in the fall if this wasn't gone. Fortunately, this happened in the summer. I got mad when people took pictures of me bc I couldn't smile This video helped me so much and reminded me that I wasn't alone in this, that God is not punishing me, and I will recover. People kept telling me that I'm still beautiful with bell's palsy and even if it does last my entire life they will still love me. This was so hard. I am so so so so thankful He healed me and if you're reading this, stay strong and keep faith, He WILL heal you! Use this time to grow closer to Him. Romans 8:28., " for all things work together for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose" He has a plan for this, even though it's really hard to see right now. It was a scary, long two weeks. I am healed completely. It started suddenly on June 26, 2024 and today on July 17, 2024, I am healed completely. Thank you, Jesus!!! I give all the glory to You!!!!

I was just diagnosed with Bells Palsy 3 days ago and I was feeling kind of down about it but this video actually made ma feel a little better.

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

How many years will it take to fully recover Please hurry let me know.

I can't move my one side of the face i can't laugh 😢 could You tell me how to improve this.

😢Help me help

Thank you for sharing your experience with BP; I’m going throughout the same; and sometimes it’s hard to chew end eat. I’m taking physiotherapy. Pray to Hashem to be as normal as before.

Congratulations on your quick recovery, I have a question regarding what triggered yours (Bells Palsy) it was trauma, infection or stress? Thank you

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.

I had bells palsy for 3rd time at age of 21 is this serious ???and what's its main cause

I recently experienced an unusual taste in my mouth and persistent watering of my left eye. Initially attributing these symptoms to allergies, I sought medical evaluation, during which I was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy.

Dear Lord Jesus, heal me 100% as you healed her. Amen

I was diagnosed with bells palsy in 2006, and just got diagnosed todaaaaaaay again !😭

He's in control, that is why I m keeping CALM and in JESUS. CLOSER I AM TO OUR FATHER THE KING. PRAISE GOD JESUSHOLY SPIRIT BY YOUR GRACE I AM SAVED AND I

Thank you Sister, Praise God this video is perfect WE are heeled by HIS Stripes I claim my self and all that are here needing this prayer, God Bless You. 🙌 Amen

Thank you love for sharing. My story is exactly like yours. Yes it is only Jesus who heals us inside out. God bless

I'm on day 3 of Bell's Palsy. Also left side affected. Got a Neurobion injection and the steriod pills yesterday. Have to take 6 a day for now. Feeling really down and emosional now. But l'm still working and execising. Will get though this🙏

Does STEROID Medication help? Any drug dangers or side effects?

How long did you take medication for ?

Thank you for sharing & your uplifting words of encouragement!

I’m glad you’re improving and back to work! I’ve never heard anyone having dizzy spells! I’m still learning more about bells. Did you doc say anything about dizziness?

By the way, Jessica, some days are better than others like lt seems like my face is getting better and then sometimes it feels like it's getting numb again. So I do understand what you mean. Where you feel the sensation of numbness coming back. That scares me too.

Jessica, by the way, I'm also a Christian, and if you want to watch a good study about Christianity. Go to les feldick ministries he's very good check it out if you want

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!

Thank you, Jessica, for your information. twodays , I woke up, and I noticed that I couldn't wink my eye, and it troubled me a little bit. So I went into the bathroom to look in the mirror, and I could not close my eye at all anyhow. I started to notice my mouth. is numb, too kind of freaked out ,l just wanted to say thank you for sharing this terrible experience with others . Your experience helps me have hope. GOD-BLESS YOU, THIS IS TERRIBLE !! TAKE CARE

Thank you for your testimony.

Thank you God bless you

Thank you that is so helpful!

A friend gave me ecstacy at 16 yesterday old, blew my brain outta my skull, took me 20 years to heal...have facial paralysis til this day

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.
