Why Is Bell S Palsy Reoccuring?
I had bells palsy when I was 15 yr. {right side} I am now 61 and had (right side) Jan 4. Took 8 wks to go away. After enoc test the E.M.T. dr said would go away on own and did not need operation to relieve pressure. One week later, bells palsey now shows up on left side of face. It is worse this time. Why am I getting this? How can I stop it from reoccurring?

Hi
Only physical therapy is helpful..nerve weakness can be improved with lyrica 75mg twice a day and methycobalamin tabs for 5 weeks, consult your neurologist for this....Also, diabetes should be ruled out by blood sugar test.if neurologist thinks,an ctscan or MRI for screening other causes may be done.
