tiredness with Bells Palsy

[Animals4me]

Are there other sufferers with or have recoved from Bells Palsy? I have been diagnosed with it for 3wks now...pain more under control but feel exhausted...is this normal and does it last until everthing facially returns to normal? Any help appreciated,thanks.

This is thought to be viral in origin and add that to the large doses of steroids that are needed there will naturally be a period of lassitude and lethargy. your energy and zest for life (that is if you had any ;-)) will return in good time and will not necessarily be associated with the return of normality to your face.

I cant say much about it but my ex wife had it before she met me, she didnt say much about it but her face recovered 99.9% if you looked very carefully could notice one eye opened a little less than the other, no one else noticed.

Good luck xxx

I had this about 25 years ago. I felt terribly tired and very ill. Luckily I made a full recovery after about five weeks. Best of luck to you.

I had it 26 years ago and it lasted for 6 weeks. I had no pain or tiredness though, and the only thing the doctor prescribed were artificial tears since I wasn't blinking. Like Ratters ex, I have been left with a slight lack of symmetry in my face but it's not really noticeable.
