I was diagnosed with Bells Palsy back on April 11, 2023 and as of today Jul 12, 2024 I am still dealing with it, I am glad i found this to augment this along with Light LED therapy, massage, and acupuncture. This is definitely been a struggle/frustration and it has impacted my self esteem and being able to concentrate on my work tasks along with taking care of my son. This has been an exhausting endeavor.

[@bettywhalen7013]

Thank you so much for all your help. i do the exercise's every day. God bless you!

[@SYEDALI-ht5ll]

Well Bell's palsy recovery is a time-consuming process, I got it in mid of Oct 2023, and in 4-5 months I recovered almost 99%....Dr explained a very useful exercise in the video. Please be patient, consult with your primary Dr and physiotherapist, and give time to your muscles for recovery because it always takes time. Recovery time is different for every person but 1 month to 4 months mostly people can recover.

Hi priscilla my wife facing this problem past 4 days she is worring a lot

[@priscillacook2619]

Hi. I understand how worried you are. I was scared that my face would not be normal. My face felt numb and sore as well as my tongue. Start the exercise asap. I started to see results in 2 weeks. It's been almost 2 months since my Bell's Palsy and my face is back to normal with the exception around my mouth area which is completely normal. People can't believe that l had Bell's Palsy two months ago. Be faithful in your exercise. Massage your face muscles that is affected and be gentle with the massage because the muscles will be sore. I will keep you in my prayers and let me know how your process is going. 🙏

Hi, im Bruce, im 59. At 9:52 pm June 3rd my vision became blurry followed by double vision, body sweats, excessive vomiting then the right side of my face was paralyzed. June 4th at 11:00am I was rushed to the hospital and by 12:30pm I was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy. Not a stroke thank God. Today is June 18th. I can see straight. I can walk. My left ear is sore and sounds kinda hurt, my right side of my face is still 95% paralyzed but I'm improving every day. From what I've read this can all relapse in 10 years. Let's all keep in contact with our progress.

[@bogif3668]

How it is right now?

[@BruceHarris-r7r]

@bogif3668 now on 11/22/2024 the right side of my face is 85% back to normal, my right eye has almost stopped tearing up constantly, the wind still bothers my eye. I think I'm one of the few that heals in the 6 month period. I should be back to 100% by January 2025.

[@ooa3718]

Day 1 Wish me luck! Started on prednisone and also am taking multivitamins, Zinc, and B12 to help stimulate nerve movement. Also thinking of taking up yoga to de stress my body. Praying for a speedy recovery for myself and others afflicted with this. Let’s keep our mental strong though it may be very hard. ❤

[@OBVIOUSLYEVELYN]

It will get better… I can’t even say I am in recovery anymore because well tbh I’m not, I’m 24 and I still HAVE Bell’s palsy. I got Bell’s palsy when I was 15 turning 16. 9 years later, and idk if it’s cause my family love me and don’t want to hurt my feelings, but they tell me they forget that I have Bell’s palsy. I still get headaches especially on one side, I have Bell’s palsy on my right side but my left side hurts a lil bit more when I’m stressed out. I still get watery eyes, and my eyes burn sometimes. It will get better for you guys. I guess I am that small percentage that have this for the rest of my life. 🤷🏻‍♀️
