Got it, have for 8 years

Post a new topicby livingwith on Mon Oct 13, 2008 2:58 pm

When I was 16 I was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy. I am 24 now and can still feel it under my ear behind my ear lobe right along my jaw bone. It feels swollen. Even though I have had it this long I look way better then when I first got it. I can notice it and feel it when I see myself in a picture my eye looks lazy, when I drink alcohol, and when the weather gets colder.

I was in the 7th grade when i got BP. It has almost been 8 years and i still have not fully recovered. My eye twitches a lot and i still do not have a full smile and i am beginging to notice that i am starting to talk with a slir sometimes. Im worried that is starting to get worse again or wondering if it gets worse when your older. I did not get offerd any medication when it started the docter just said it should go away in a month or two that there was nothing they could do. Now i read about medication you can take but that is just for the first 2 week of getting BP. So i am going to go back to doctor to see if there is anything i can do now to get it better. So if you do find anything out please let me know and i will do the same.
