At first I thought I had an ear infection...With very bad headaches...About a week later the left side of my face was paralized..I went to my gp who diagnosed bels palsy...The only treatment he offered me was steroids which I wasn't keen to take...
My gp didn't recommend acupuncture but knowing how acupuncture works I thought it made sense...I had my first treatment last thursday...2 days after my face had become paralized..The next morning I could feel sensation at the top of my lip..Another treatment friday and friday night I was very excited as feeling had started to come back to my cheek...I still couldn't move it but could feel sensation coming back to the muscle...After another 3 sessions this week my face is 80% recovered...My smile is nearly back and my eyelid lifts but still doesn't shut properly...
I really recommend if you are suffering with bels palsy to seek acupuncture...I am over the moon with the results...I only suffered for one week and can't imagine what it must be like to suffer longer.....Please please please try it ....It works!!!
