My eye

[Audreysews]

I thought my Bells Palsy was getting better BUT now my eye is twitching when l eat and also watering..... Don't know what to do about it.....

I understand that twitching around the eye is quite normal during recovery I'm in week 5 still have this problem.  As for eye watering when you eat/chew again this can be normal during recovery I'm sure this will fade the more you recover...if you concerned always seek professional medical advice to keep any stress/anxiety away

Hi l had read that eye twitching and eye watering were a result of the nerve damage healing differently... As for seeking professional advice well l am not impressed with that, really not very forthcoming at all...... It's making me quite low in spirit. Because it's every time l eat, l cry. Thanks for reply.

My eye got extremely twitchy the week before I started to see real improvements so hopefully this is the case for you too!

Linked or unwanted facial movements during recovery are fairly common but can become a problem.  It is called synkinesis and if it continues I would suggest that you contact your GP and get a referral to a speech and language therapist or a specialist physiotherapist so that a tailor made exercises programme can be made for you.

my son has been told he now has Bells Palsy and if he dose not take medication straight away it well become parmenamt. he suffers from cold sores and has not been given anything that seems to work there are times when he cannot speak due to the cold sores i guess this is why he has now bells palsy
