    Oh Latoya I’m so sorry. This will get better. Stay strong.

    Bells palsy can I’m afraid take months before the symptoms go away.

    Make sure you use the eye drops - or your eyes will dry out and you’ll get blepharitis.

    Take the steroids and antivirals exactly as prescribed - they will speed up recovery.

    Keep your head up - this will get better.
