    Not Good!
    Char I am so sorry to hear this, how very frustrating! I am glad you were put on meds quickly so that it can start getting out of your system! Hope you are feeling better soon!

    Char, I am very sorry. You do not need one more"medical issue" to deal with, for sure. Please let your oncologist know about this problem.
    Wishing you a quick recovery from this condition.

    I'm so sorry to hear that you have another hurdle to jump over. I'm sure you feel like enough is enough already!

    I don't have any direct experience with Bell's Palsy, but I did a search to learn more (that's my way of coping) and found a very informative website at http://www.bellspalsy.ws/ if you want to do any exploring to learn more.

    As some of the ladies have mentioned, you may want to take measures to protect your eyes. This site mentions eye moistening drops as well as eye protection, like patches.

    I hope your symptoms go away very soon. I guess that's the silver lining - it IS temporary!

    Healing Hugs,
    Cindy

    Hyaluronic Acid - liquid form
    hello

    I am sorry to hear to your dx.

    I had a colleague at work who was diagnosed at age 30 with Bell's Palsy and he used Hyaluronic Acid. I also using the same product as I was born with Psoriasis and lately it looks like it "moved" from my skin to my joins (psoriasis arthritis) so I am taking 5 drops daily and I can feeling much better. It is tasteless, odour-less and worked for my colleague and also for me. I like liquid form as it is pure form and it is much easy on my tummy (just drops in my juice morning) then taking pills.

    If you are interested, please check their website http://www.hacompound.com/
    Good luck

    6 days and no better
    My ear pain is ever present. I'm doing the best I can with taking care of my teeth. Since I can't use a straw, I take small sips of whatever I'm drinking. My whole right jaw feels numb now and my eye is presenting problems with reading and driving. I do use natural tears (drops) especially at night. The PA mentioned a patch for night so I will talk with my PCP on Monday as I have an appt to see him. Helen, I'll ask about the Hyal acid.

    Oh Char,
    You poor thing. When it rains it pours. I actually had bells palsy many, many, many years ago when I was in junior high. I don't think I had any medicine and it just went away on its own. It was definitely a scary thing, especially since I was so you.

    No hat and no bra.....woo hoo!

    xoxo,
    Jean

    Your post made me sad and laugh at the same time. Praying this will go away for you soon.

    You must have been scared to death, Char
    What next? Lyme disease, breast cancer and now this. Wish I knew how to make it all better. It feels like we're not only more at risk for other cancers, but anything else that might want to set up house in our bodies. Hope this is all behind you soon.
