On Wednesday 6/15 the day of my baby boy Graduation I woke up with a little eye irritation, I had strongly believed it was the eye make up I was wearing lately since a new hair -do was in play. Later that day I had taken a group of 5th graders to the Newseum for a field trip as we stopped to eat in the food court it felt like my lips were swelling, so I immediately ranned to the restroom to check and my lips which by the way still looked normal. I also felt some tightness on the right side of my face. Later, conversing with a Co-worker she ask why is your eye twitching like that, " I don't know", I replied.

I prepared my son for his graduation and went to give him a kiss and my lips were slightly turned to the left. I knew my next stop needed to be the ER but, I waited til the next morning. Thursday6/16 the day if my other son Graduation I woke up could not blink or smile either so GW Hospital I went. I was diagnosed with this BP , which is a very Eerie feeling. Single parent of 3 Boys and a little lady, I have to remain calm. I tried driving but, I can't due to my eye irritation.. Any relief Ideas please share

    Hot towel on your face helps with blood flow, soft massages (anything too rough can damage your nerves), and losts of rest. Also make sure you take anti-virals and steroids. Drink plenty of water, rest a lot in a dark room. Also get some visine for your eye (you may have to tape it shut at night. I hope this helps.

    Were you prescribed steroids?  Use eye drops and wear an eye patch at night to protect the cornea.  Try to relax and wait it out.  I wouldn't do any massaging.
