So sorry to hear this. My FIL just had a stroke last Friday. I am so happy that was not the case for you. He actually had the Bells palsy about 12 years ago as well. I even went to school with a girl who had it when we were in high school. Good thing they have meds for that. Feel better soon sweetie. :)
ReplyDeleteHugs~

Just checking in and hope you are better - thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteSorry you're having troubles. The minute I read your systoms, I thought bells palsy, though I believe it's more prevalent in men. Comes on very quickly without previous systems and leaves the same way...it's very weird. Good luck, take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteRizzi, I do not know how I missed this post, I was just thinking about you realizing I had not seen a post from you in a long time. Hope you are feeling better, that must have been so scary.
ReplyDeleteSending you lots of love,
Meredith
Hope you are mending Rizzi - it may take some time but hope you are better soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Rizzi,
ReplyDeleteBernideen told me that you had gotten Bell's Palsy last year and that you had seen my Blog. I have had Bell's Palsy since Memorial Day - May 28th, 2012. At nearly 9 months, I am about 85% recovered and still improving.
I wonder how your recovery went or if it's still continuing. I'm praying it has all gone away for you.
