ZeroMatt Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 (edited) Yesterday morning i woke up and found the right hand side of my face was paralised, i went to the doctor and he said i had Bell's palsy. He gave me steroids to take 8 daily but he doesn't know how long it will take to go. Does anybody know how long it will take to go away as its really pissing me off? If anyone feels the need i'll post a photo. Edited November 6, 2005 by ZeroMatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomR Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Surely, as with everything else, it depends from case to case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Depends what caused it. It's because you compressed your facial nerve on one side. So basically once you get rid of whatever's compressing it you'll be fine. My nextdoor neighbour had it because she had a tumour on that side of her face, and that never went away I don't think. But you haven't got cancer. From a book: Weakness worstens for 1-2 days and then stabilizes, any pain resolves within a few days. Most people recover within a few weeks.

delusional Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 I got Bells Palsy for a while, a few years ago now. Mine didn't quite just turn up overnight... I had a pretty bad tick in that side of my face for a few days, which got worse and worse and sort of took over one side of my face until it was totally paralysed. I think I was quite lucky with mine - it only lasted about 5-7 days. I'm sure the doctor told you, but it's a good idea to get some sort of eye patch to wear when you sleep (or even around the house generally). Not only does it make you look like a cool pirate, but it protects your eye as it can't close itself if something gets in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMatt Posted November 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Apparently i've had it 3 times before but i can't remember it, so it may be that im succeptable to a virus, well thats what my doctor said. I tried wearing a patch but it just screwed up my vision when i took it off, everything was completely blurred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexnessie Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 I had a VERY mild case of Bells Palsy where once side of my face was numb but only partially paralysed, it took about a week to clear up fully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Motivator Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Cab drivers get it. The cold wind kills off all the nerve endings so your face pretty much dies. You'll just have to wait for all the nerves to repair themselfs. Bad luck though man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
