bow slayer Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 anyone have any first hand experience with this condition. Just had a close family member come down with this.They have been told to expect a full recovery in about 2 -3 weeks. Though there is a small chance at permnament damage. Has only been through this. I have heard it is quite common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tb4me Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I have a friend that has recovered from it. He had to go thru therapy to learn to deal with stress. Stress is the silent killer..Your family member needs to slow down and enjoy life.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioFisherman Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 It is fairly common, my oldest daughter had it when she was in her late 20's and made a complete recovery. I am sure some don't have the same outcome, the 2-3 week time frame was about the same for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misfish Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 My wife woke me up one early morning. What I seen was alarming. Side of her face was droopy. Numb arm. Rush to the hospital and was told it was Bells Palsy. It took about 2-3 weeks before the effects were gone.Full recovery. Then again,theres an old friend from work that was striken with it. This was 10 years ago. I see him now and then,and you can still see the effects. Body function is normal,but his facial is noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moosebunk Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 A good website often used for information is Mayo Clinic... or UpToDate (a pay site) Here's the link for Bells Palsy. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/bells-palsy/basics/definition/con-20020529 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 My kid brother has it. It was a regular occurrence when he was VP of sales for a big corporation, for him it was the stress. Now he only has a relapse every time he gets divorced. The wife needs to slow down just like 2b4me. Easier said then done I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
