Hi there i had Bell's palsy a few years ago, except mine was constent it was my 7th nerve trapped in my face left side, with steroids it cleared up in about 8 weeks, you need to know that if you ever know anyone who has shingles you need to stay away from them because now you have had it, you will be prone to getting it again the shingles virus can cause Bell's palsy.

Glad he was a help and looking into further, the right support makes a world of difference.

My GP is also a great, she always makes time and after i have talked about my various symptoms, referrals and meds (takes a while lol), she always asked and how are you? Just those three little words, makes such a difference.

Having a good GP makes all the difference , So i say a big cheer for all those good GP's out there.
