Hi, I'm new to the site. Has anyone suffered with gradual facial paralysis (in my case over 3 years) and received a diagnosis? I have lost all movement on left side.

Hi, has your hospital carried out an MRI along the full length of the facial nerve? Also, are you being seen by experts in facial paralysis? It sounds like you need referral to a specialist if this hasn't already happened.

Not what you're looking for?
