Anybody ever have Bells Palsy?

I got it now. Thank God it wasnt a stroke! So, how long did it last with you? Did you experience any long time effects? Thanks all! Happy Holidays!

I have had Bells Palsy since May 2007

I still have some lingering effects such as my smile is a little crooked if I smile while speaking and I have developed mildly the crocodile tear syndrome ( When I eat my eye tears and waters).

I started noticing improvements within a few weeks. Im not sure if your taking medication for this but highly recommend it. Something I have found out about is that vitamin b-12 shots helps heal nerve damage involved with this.

I wrote an article that you might like to check out to compare experiences. Ill include the link and I hope you get better soon. It can be very frustrating.
