Need info on Bell's Palsy? |
I was told that I have Bell's Palsy a couple days ago. I have read some information online about it, but can anyone tell me if its normal to have a migraine headache with this? That just won't go away. And I am having a very difficult time sleeping. I know that I get migraines if I don't sleep, but I just can't sleep. I am currently taking Prednisone for the Bell's Palsy and Viciodin for the migraine. Does anyone know how I could have gotten this? I don't have any of the causes listed online. Is this something I have to worry about my kids getting? Any other information anyone has, woud greatly be appreciated. I'm sorry if I'm rambling on, I'm sooo tired. Thanks for any help you can give me. yes it is, because the nerves are clenching.it just happens, they dont know what brings it on , who will get it or why, not anything you should pass on but once you have had it its possible for it to happen again so learn what you can do to help it best this time so you are ready if it comes along again. I have had Bells Palsy and was fortunate enough to have a very caring Doc. Bells Palsy is caused by inflammation of the tube that the effected nerves run through. What caused the inflammation? There is lots of theory but really,,, they don't know. I personally did not have a migraine but pain in the head is not uncommon. Here is the good news. Treated or not Bells Palsy almost always goes away entirely. The percentage of complete recovery is in the high 90's within 3 months. Most people have no symptoms within 6 weeks. Be careful of your eye on that side so it doesn't dry out and all will be well. Oh, and no it is not contagious. http://www.bellspalsy.ws/ This should contain all the info you need. bell's palsy is a temporary facial nerve impairment, most often caused by a viral infection, and it's usually transient- meaning there won't be any permanent impairment. it may take a while, but your symptoms should completely resolve. there are cases of permanent facial droop, but that's not common. prednisone isn't indicated for treatment, unless there's another cause for the bell's palsy like trauma. migraines aren't typically associated with bell's palsy. there is usually just facial droop- no pain. My brother had Bells Palsy for 3 months. It started on a plane. He didn't have any headaches though. He just to have fake tears for his eyes because he didn't blink. After 3 months it went away as mysteriously as it came. That was 25 years ago and it hasn't happened again. Bell's palsy is sudden, idiopathic, unilateral peripheral 7th cranial nerve palsy. Symptoms are hemifacial paresis involving the upper and lower face. There are no specific tests for diagnosis. Treatment may include corticosteroids, lubrication of the eye, and intermittent use of an eye patch. Yes, I have had Bell's Palsy since December 2003. It has eased up a bit, but you can certainly still tell. Yes, I still have awful migraine headaches! My first thing each morning is to get up & take Excedrin Migraine. Probably not the best to do. Make sure you go to a Neurologist and make sure they do the face test (where they stick needles in your face to check the damage) and an MRI. I really hope you have good luck with this. It is a very depressing situation, but there are a lot more people that are in worse shape! That's the only thing that keeps me positive. Good luck! Unfortunately, migraines are one of the issues associated with Bell's Palsy. |
