Again, get diagnosed and opt for surgery. Only then will you continue with a normal life. Good luck and stay positive, there is a fix, just get the right surgeon to perform the procedure. You don't want a someone training on you. Research for an experience neurosurgeon in this field for best chance of success. The procedure is called MICROVASCULAR DECOMPRESSION.

so sorry to hear that you have this condition at such a young age.Speak to your mother,get the correct diagnosis and then follow the advice of an expert. Being young this is very scary for you but if you do opt for the surgery I feel you will probably recover more quickly than an older person.
wishing you the very best of luck.

I would suggest you join the Facebook Hemifacial Spasm Worldwide Support Group where you will find others who have had Hemifacial Spasm from quite a young age. They are a very supportive group and will offer you lots of support and information. It's important to share this with your mother so that she can help and support you with your decisions. And, try not to be scared, this is a upsetting condition which affects your appearance to some extent, but it is not a life threatening condition. There are things which can help (like Botox) and, as others have said, there is a cure if you should ever reach the stage where surgery seems like an option for you. Please join that Facebook group and make links with others who truly understand how this feels for you. Also, keep asking questions on this forum where there are lots of sensible and experienced people who can offer you the benefit of their experiences with HFS. Take care and never feel that you are the only one.
