Bell's Palsy

[katcas]

Hi there, my daughter was diagnosed with BP last Tuesday evening after I called 911 and sent her to the ER thinking she was having a stroke .....She has been on medication now for 5 days, this morning she is complaining of alot of pain on the side effected, can someone give me some advise on this? Any advise would be helpful, she starts school tomorrow. :(

The pain is just another symptom of Bells Palsy. It will subside. This will be a hard journey for your child but tell her to keep her chin up, it will heal.

I was diagnosed last Monday, and when I woke up Sunday to go to Church I had a lot of pain on my affected side of my face. I don't know if it is a good thing since I haven't been able to feel anything, or a bad thing. I am 28 and trying to deal with this teh best I can, I can't imagine what your daughter is going through at such a young age. I will keep her and your family in my prayers as we both deal with this.

When I got Bell's Paulsy my doctor put me on Prednizone and my husband did a lot of research and found Vitamin B12 also helped with recovery. The B12 is also called Methylcobalamin and he couldn't find it local but found it online at www.lef.org . I was taking three 5mg tablets of vitamin B daily and with the prednizone I made a full recovery. Since I was pregnant when I got Bells Paulsy I was told I had a slim chance of full recovery. I didn't start the Prednizone till after I delivered but did start taking the vitamin B12 right away. Hope this helps and my prayers are with you.
