Tired of being tired

I'm in my 6th week of having Bell's Palsy, and am wondering if anyone else still gets headaches after this length of time.

It could be to do with the steroids coming out of your system, but worth getting your blood pressure checked. Finally found out after my 5th episode that the steroids send my blood pressure sky high. Goes down after a few months. As for always being tired, I understand that one. You need to be patient, as like a lot of the symptoms you can get with Bell's Palsy it takes quite a while to improve. Your still at quite an early stage really. Just let your body sleep as much as it wants if you can.
