But he doesn’t have Bell’s Palsy

The syndrome he has is from shingles.

Maybe don’t try diagnosing people you have never met or talked to from media reports next time.

What makes everyone so sure the "Ramsey-Hunt" diagnosis is correct?

Are you his doctor?

Do you think a doctor got it wrong? What is your diagnosis?

This made him more susceptible to the virus and could have weakened his immune system enough to activate shingles. This is happening in record numbers to young (vaccinated) people worldwide. I hope for a full recovery for Justin but we need to be honest regarding the potential cause.

This is all false information and incredibly irresponsible of you to post. Go back to Facebook.

New poster here but a coworker got the shingles after her second Covid shot. The vaccine does rev up the immune system so maybe this is true…

I think it’s a press release and those often do not comport with reality for a variety of reasons.

When I heard about this, I immediately had a flashback to when I had Bell’s Palsy.

I was about four years older than Justin is now.

It was so odd - one day I just could not feel one side of my face.

My eyelid was drooped, my eye would not close (I had to wear a patch in order for it not to dry out too much) + my smile was lopsided.
I kept slobbering when I would attempt to drink 🥤 anything & it felt weird no longer having the ability to laugh or even smile.

I was very self-conscious being out in public too.

After seeing a neurologist > I was prescribed a steroid along w/plenty of rest.

What I remember the most was the internal FEAR that I would never have my normal facial movement back.
Ever.

Even though I had read that since I was given a steroid within a short time-frame, my symptoms would likely be gone in weeks, it still was so terrifying never knowing for sure if that would be the end result.

With my facial paralysis affecting my life each & every second of every day - I was filled w/all the “what-ifs??”
I was just terrified of the unknown.

Thankfully I was back to normal within three weeks.
But the experience really scared me as I realized that when something like this happens, we are never promised a good outcome.
I still fear it returning again.

I wish JB a speedy and full recovery.

You get that from ticks. Justin doesn’t strike me as the type to roll around in the Connecticut woods

He’s a Canadian kid, and aside from that, he’s spoken about his Lyme in the past.

So much theorizing and speculation!

It isn't so out of the realm that someone his age could get this!

It isn't from drugs. It is from a virus. Shingles pops up under stress very often and I imagine he is under a lot of stress! This is just a side effect.


I am not even a Bieber fan. But he is not hiding something here.

I mean, don't you think your reaction is a little over the top? I was simply pointing out that Bell's Palsy can be a complication of Lyme, when another PP suggested he might have Bell's Palsy. This is useful information for all of us in the D.C. area, because there's a lot of Lyme here.

Glad to hear that's not his issue. Lyme is insidious and vicious if not caught early.

exactly my experience, except I got an antiviral and a heavy duty oral prednisone script. It’s funny to me that people are trying to make this into some kind of conspiracy. bell’s palsy/ramsay hunt are actually pretty common.

Again, individually I wouldn’t really blink an eye at either of these stories, but the fact that they happened to two young married people in less than a year makes me think there’s another cause. If I was their parent and I truly believed there were no drugs I’d honestly be encouraging them to look for an environmental trigger

He probably would have been about 5 or 6 when the vaccine began to be used in Canada.

I know someone a bit younger who had a breakthrough case too.

I do not assume that since JB + Hailey both have had health issues during the same year that it automatically means they must be drug addicts or something equally nefarious.

They both have very unique lives & I can only imagine the amounts of daily stressors they each carry around.

Did you read the articles about him? Ramsay Hunt is caused by Shingles. He’s been on tour for over a year and I believe he also had COVID a few months ago. Shingles was ripe to happen with the tour stress and immunity wipe out from COVID.

Yes, my cousin's covid vaccination reactivated mono in her system. She then caught covid months later and during covid, she had shingles. She's young and healthy, in her mid-20s, and her doctor said she was definitely an anomaly because he had not seen a covid + shingles combo in anyone under 55.

All I can say is I’m glad I had the shingles vaccine before covid. The side effects were not pleasant and we didn’t live in fear back then.
