I started with my palsy in Sept 05 with complete paralasis of the right side of my face. The thing I have felt the most frustrated about is the fact that nobody in the medical profession seems to care about it or wants to know. I got very very depressed after a visit to the ENT specialist and he told me because it was so severe the possibility of it being permanent were very high and to get used to it. Ive tried all sorts of things from tens machines to accupuncture, things have improved slightly but I still have no movement in my face. Ive now started with the opposite happening and the muscles in my cheek are now contracting so my face is going all lop sided, but now after having it for so long and after sitting with a hand full of tablets ready to swallow, I realised how lucky I was to have everything else in fairly good working order I know think what the hell if I'm like this for good then who cares, it would be nice to smile properly again but if not it's not the end of the world. So to everybody with B/P keep your chin up your not alone.

    God bless you and hang in there, my BP is fairly new 1/31/06. My jamaican friends have me putting whole nutmeg nuts in the side that is injured. Clean them first the scratch thier surface then put them in the botom and top. Bite down on them slightly to get the taste and I 'll tell you I have seen results. Good Luck

    Darling hang in there, i too had it two years ago, i havn't had a full recovery my right eye still appare to be smaller than my left eye, but i am not giving up without a fight. what i will encourage you to do is not to stress youself too much, because that's what it need to prolong it i have only found out that, begin to forget everything and everybody your life is more important.

    What ever it is bills, family problem you know better what your situation is you look at it in the face and dael with it in a very objetive way. I remember prior to me having BP i was so havely in debt pluse i had met a guy through a friend which i was hoping to have a long term relationship with, within three months of the relationship i was being pressure to have a child for him, i was 42 at the time i had only been pregnant once when i was 16teen and lost the baby,so you could imagine how desparate i felt wating to have a child also felt that was my chance to keep this man.

    Well the long and short of it i never became pregnant the relationship broke off i felt rejected and a sense of hopelessness began to set in, all this happened between May to July and by august i began to experience BP so as a result i make notting bother me anymore i deal with things as they come not to stress me.

    So darling don't give up, try different thrapy or continue searching the internet. your jamaican friend:D
