[quote=Anonymous]aw OP sending you BIG hugs.

I had Bells, contracted it around my 32nd week of pregnancy. I delivered DS when I was 35w5days-- this was four years ago. Total loss of the right side of my face, ringing in my right year, was prescribed antivirals and steroids, like you.

i saw an acupuncturist and took the meds.

i want you to be positive ok? your baby can sense that you are smiling, knows when you are happy.

however long your healing takes is how long it takes. i was so sleep deprived when i was post partum, I think that delayed the whole thing. I am four years out and about 80-90% healed. occasionally my ear rings. I can tell in my face that the right side just isnt quite right, but my DH and my friends tell me that no one can tell anymore.

just give yourself time and rest. check out the facial center at JHU if you really get concerned-- https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/bells-palsy-when-facial-paralysis-doesnt-get-better

but for me, rest and time helped. if anything, i totally get what you are going through. be gentle to yourself! [/quote]
