Suggest Treatment For Bells Palsy
I was afflicted with Bell s Palsy a year and a half ago. My left eye use to stay open all the time. I had to wear goggles to shampoo my hair. Now the same eye closes shut all the time when I eat, swallow or drink. Will I have to have surgery on eye lids or will it eventually heal on it s own. My slur isn t bad any more and my lips are pretty much gone to almost normal. It feels like a nerve next to my nose and at the corner of my mouth on the left side feel distorted.
