BELLS PALSY

I saw my face swollen and thought it was something I ate and had an allergic reaction so I took Benadryl. The following day I was worse my month was numb and twisted, my right eye was very irritated and I could not even blink. I went to the hospital and I was diagnosed with BP. My healing was very quickly according to the doctor. In 2 weeks my face was back to normal. I will tell you I was out resting for one week at home. My job is answering the phones and that helped my nerves go back to place. I did have nerve pain in back of my right ear for another week. I am doing great and so blessed this has passed.
