Bell’s Palsy is often caused by a viral infection that causes the muscles in the face to lose strength. This can cause facial paralysis, sensation issues and trouble swallowing, blinking and much more. Today, Dr Alison Wu is sharing the progression she’s teaches her patients with Bell’s Palsy to slowly help regain correct sensation and get the facial muscles working again!

I am going to do these exercises and will follow-up with my results as l improve. I got this!! Thank you Dr for providing this awesome video.

Hi, im Bruce, im 59. At 9:52 pm June 3rd my vision became blurry followed by double vision, body sweats, excessive vomiting then the right side of my face was paralyzed. June 4th at 11:00am I was rushed to the hospital and by 12:30pm I was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy. Not a stroke thank God. Today is June 18th. I can see straight. I can walk. My left ear is sore and sounds kinda hurt, my right side of my face is still 95% paralyzed but I'm improving every day. From what I've read this can all relapse in 10 years. Let's all keep in contact with our progress.

@zakiluiz4033 6 месяцев назад

This message goes to a new patient diagnosed with bells palsy. The game changer will be taking steroids (prednisolone) as soon as your diagnosed for with even you take as low as 10mg twice a day for atleast 2-3 weeks, 7 days aren't enough. I repeat , if you want to heal faster take steroids. The first week will be the worst but dnt stop taking steroids

This has been an exhausting endeavor.

It will get better… I can’t even say I am in recovery anymore because well tbh I’m not, I’m 24 and I still HAVE Bell’s palsy. I got Bell’s palsy when I was 15 turning 16. 9 years later, and idk if it’s cause my family love me and don’t want to hurt my feelings, but they tell me they forget that I have Bell’s palsy. I still get headaches especially on one side, I have Bell’s palsy on my right side but my left side hurts a lil bit more when I’m stressed out. I still get watery eyes, and my eyes burn sometimes. It will get better for you guys. I guess I am that small percentage that have this for the rest of my life. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@inteltavangar Месяц назад

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ABsolutley loud outburst doing many of these exercises. But you have inlcuded the nitiest muscle group that gets implicated in the syndrome. I do have a question, Dr. Wu, the Trigeminal nerve carries sensory fibers to the tongue and related unilateral buccal mucosa, aren't they also implicated in Bell's palsy since they run right along with the Motor portion of Facial from the Stylo-mastoid Foramen and forming an acute angle forward right after the exit from the skull, where it gets pinched due to TMJ articulation issues???? I am kind of inclined to relate Bell's Palsy to more of a Mechanical problem than any random viral or idiopathic which does not give us any source-problem but only takes us to a sidetrack of signs and symptoms which then becomes a shananigan for many patients because the root cause is not isolated and therefore never treated. what are your thoughts Doctor on this critical decision making for a patient? Salute from Texas. And thank you for your great presentations.

Well Bell's palsy recovery is a time-consuming process, I got it in mid of Oct 2023, and in 4-5 months I recovered almost 99%....Dr explained a very useful exercise in the video. Please be patient, consult with your primary Dr and physiotherapist, and give time to your muscles for recovery because it always takes time. Recovery time is different for every person but 1 month to 4 months mostly people can recover.
