I also had BP in January 19th for the second time since October 2013.only from 2 weeks ago noticed my face is getting better slowly.it will get better! But I would strongly suggest to see GP about double vision for a vision clinic referral , eye protection and MRI , to see neurologist and maybe ENT. Speedy recovery and all the best!

Thanks for your reply, I have been referred to see a specialist at my local hospital, they have put a prism on my left eye lens to help with the double vision and I go back this week to see them.

Did the Bell's palsy come on suddenly or slowly? Request an MRI if they haven't already done one, as Lana291 suggests. Hope you feel better soon.

Make sure you mention this when requesting an MRI.

Thanks again, back from hospital, don't think it is Bells P? check re stroke, am now going to have C.T scan and more bloods have been taken, there are several reasons for eye lid 'drop' and double vision.
