Hi Mxolisi,

Sorry to hear you have BP. It can be really tough but you will get through this and recovery rates from BP are really high so try to stay positive.

I had RHS and know how you feel. I am in sales so facing people was tough but I found the thought of it far worse than the reality as people were so understanding, compassionate and supportive so take strength from your friends and family. everyone needs a little help from time to time so let people help you and accept that you gave to focus on you for a while to get the rest and recovery you need.

It will get better and you will get through this I promise. Stay positive and get as much rest as possible.

Sorry to hear you have BP. I'd it around 5 years ago. Very tiring in the first few weeks. The anti-virals made me sleep a lot! It does take a while to recover,and you do feel isolated during the worst of it, but you will get there. First thing that came back for me was being able to drink without a straw. When that happens, you'll feel a lot more human again. I also had to tape my eye shut at night time. Once that stopped, I felt a lot better! The vast majority of people recover well, and you'd never know they had it. Take all the time you need to rest and recover.

I had it last year... i felt the same initially but then i accepted it and faced it with a smile.. well a half faced smile... stay positive and start going out n about if you have the energy dont feel bad about the half dead face.. it will recover if not 100% then defo 90% !!! Rest and stay happy xx lots of love on ur way

You will get better and you must keep a good heart.

I found taping up the eye at night was really quite relaxing and although I have nearly recovered still do it.

On a bright side it help me to stop smoking - I taped up both eyes once or twice and couldn't find my fags!

Keep your spirits up.
