Two weeks ago my husband was diagnosed with Bells Palsy. It has now almost cleared and I would like to share our story with others in the hope that it may be of help. I am a complementary therapist and tryed a number of treatments which I will list: Reflexology: I gave my husband a treatment every two days. The reflex points relating to his head area on the left side (where he was affected), were painful to touch. I worked on these areas despite the pain. During each treatment he had a reaction and the following day there was a noticeable improvement in his condition. During the first treatment his eye started to water profusly, the next day his eye had improved. During the second treatment he was sniffing all the way through, which I beleive was his body trying to release a build-up of toxins. The third treatment his lip on the numb side started to twitch. We have had the best results with reflexology. He now receives a treatment every 3 days.

http://www.bellspalsy.ws/cause.htm

Extractions: As far back as 1970, Herpes Simplex 1 was suggested as a cause of Bell's palsy (Dr. Kedar Adour). Some Bells palsy must still be designated as idiopathic, but a 1995 study (Dr. Shingo Murakami and others) points compellingly to the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) as the most frequent cause of Bell's palsy, possibly accounting for at least 60 - 70% of cases. Additional research since this study was published has been reinforcing the conclusion. The triggers for reactivation of the virus prior to the onset of Bell's palsy have not been proven conclusively. Impaired immunity, whether temporary (stress, lack of sleep, minor illness, physical trauma, upper respiratory infection, etc.) or long-term (autoimmune syndromes, chronic disease, etc.) are strongly targeted as the most likely triggers. There has been research implicating other viruses, including cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr, rubella and mumps, in the etiology of Bell's palsy. As with the herpes virus, potential triggers appear to be related to conditions that affect the immune system. The internal process that would cause the nerve to become compressed and result in Bells palsy is currently thought to be the same as described above for the Herpes virus. Ramsey Hunt syndrome is similar to Bell's palsy. Unlike Bells palsy, the virus that causes Ramsey-Hunt syndrome has been conclusively identified. It is varicella zoster virus (VZV), which is the virus that causes chicken pox, and is a strain of the Herpes virus. Like HSV-1, it remains in the body, residing on nerve tissue in a dormant state on nerve ganglia after the initial infectious stage has passed. VZV typically remains dormant for decades. The incidence of Ramsey Hunt syndrome increases significantly after age 50. Younger patients with Ramsey-Hunt syndrome are often advised to be tested for autoimmune deficiencies.

http://www.AIDSneurology.org

Extractions: HIV Infection or resulting full blown AIDS are rarely thought of as Neurologic Illnesses. The HIV virus actually seeks out the nervous system and hides there. Becoming entrenched in the nervous system where it is hard for drugs to penetrate is one reason why it has to date been impossible to eradicate the virus. As a result of this tendency to attack the nervous system we see many Neurologic complications of HIV and AIDS. Neuropathy, Pain, Dementia, Memory Disturbance, Myopathy (Muscle Disease), Seizure, Tremor, Weakness, Spinal Cord Problems, Gait Disorder and Falls, Shingles and Bells Palsy just to name a few. The broad scope of these complications often requires the expertise of a neurologist. A neurologist is a Medical Doctor who spent extra years studying diseases of the Brain, Spinal Cord, Nerves and Muscle. Not only does the Neurologist who sees patients with AIDS or HIV have to consider the special kinds of complications due to the human immunodeficiency virus but the Neurologist must also consider the possibility that the patient's Neurologic Problem may have nothing to do with their HIV infection. This makes the Neurology of HIV/AIDS extremely

Really, the Doctors tell you to take the meds and wait for it to get better. There is nothing else they can do, period. That kind of news can make anyone depressed especially if you are a good looking man or woman. I gotten emails from many people who rely on their looks for a one reason or another and they are devastated. The good news it should be temporary, in my case it was the first time. The second time you get Bells is a different story. The Doctor told me the same thing to take the meds and wait. This time it didn't come back right away in fact it has taken me over a year to regain 85% but staying positive has helped tremendously.

Bell's Palsy Symptoms Should Be Evaluated

http://healthlink.mcw.edu/article/1011027911.html

Extractions: Subscribe now >> Q: I was diagnosed with Bell's palsy about 2 months ago. Though it is slowly getting better, I am still worried that I may never fully recover. I still have trouble speaking certain sounds such as the letters f, b, and p (part of the left side of my mouth still feels like I have a novocaine shot in it), my left eyelid doesn't blink 100%, my forehead on the left side doesn't move too much either and my left eye sometimes waters because it is so dry. Is this normal after 2 months? I also had my facial nerve on my left side tested and it was only functioning at about 4% (this was about 1 month ago that I was tested). I know that the doctors I have seen and talked to have said that to fully recover may take up to 1 full year. Is there anything that I can do to help this process? Someone also mentioned the use of steroids. Is that something I should look into or do I just need to be patient and wait for this condition to become better on its own? Thanks for your time, and any advice in regard to this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Extractions: thanks in advance for any assistance you provide Dear Judy: Although your grandmother may well have developed Bells palsy, and may also have evidence of "ministrokes" on a previous MRI (the two problems are unrelated), I frankly would not trust the ER opinion and would seek a neurological consultation soon (within a few days at the latest). A stroke can potentially cause isolated or almost isolated facial weakness, and can be easily confused with a Bells palsy by a physician not adequately trained in neurology. I am a little worried.

http://www.neurologychannel.com/bellspalsy/

Extractions: Overview Bells palsy is a neurological disorder caused by damage to the seventh cranial nerve, also known as the facial nerve, which results in weakness or paralysis on one side of the face. The paralysis causes distortion of facial features and interferes with normal functions, such as closing the eye and eating. Patients often fear that they have suffered a stroke , with permanent damage to their health and appearance, but Bells palsy is not related to that condition. The onset of Bells palsy is usually sudden. Many people wake up in the morning and find that one side of their face is paralyzed. Milder symptoms include tingling around the lips or a dry eye and usually progress quickly, reaching maximum severity in 48 hours or less.

Bells palsy usually affects both the upper and lower parts on one side ofthe face. Both sides of the face are affected in less than 1% of cases.
http://www.neurologychannel.com/bellspalsy/symptoms.shtml

Extractions: Signs and Symptoms The most common symptoms are facial weakness or paralysis, a dry eye or mouth, and problems tasting. The severity of symptoms depends on the extent of facial nerve damage and varies from mild weakness to complete paralysis. Bells palsy usually affects both the upper and lower parts on one side of the face. Both sides of the face are affected in less than 1% of cases. Symptoms usually come on suddenly, often following recovery from a recent upper respiratory infection or other virus. Several hours before the onset of facial weakness, many people experience pain behind the ear or in the back of the head. In addition to paralysis, other symptoms include: Dizziness Drooling Dry mouth Facial twitching Hypersensitivity to sound Inability to blink or close the eye, tearing, and dry eyes
