Bells Palsy, know what it is? It's this really annoying and terrible thing that can happen where a nerve in your face becomes inflamed, causing half of your face to go partially paralyzed. The treatment is steroids and antibiotics for about a week and a half. But the recovery time is anywhere from a week to a year. And sometimes it doesn't recover. They know some reasons it happens but not all. So it could happen to anyone anytime. I woke up and realized I couldn't puff up my right cheek, thats where it started.
I got Bells Palsy around November 4th. It truely did suck, you can feel everything, your not numb. But none of your muscles move at all, hence the partial paralysis. Eating can be sloppy with the right foods, drinking from a bottles not too fun. It even gets your tongue so its hard to lick your lips. Not being able to blink sucks hardcore, and not being able to control your tear ducts and constantly cry is obnoxious. Also theres constant soreness on the muscles, constant ear pain, and headaches. Which can lead to sleep deprivation. But those went away for me after a week and a half.
If you do have it, don't worry. It'll get better, I mean some people don't recover but most do. I've had it for 20ish days and am now able to partially smile and move most of my muscles. Tear ducts are still derp. And I still can't do a full smile, but its halfway there. At first I was depressed. I mean the thought of going through that for a whole year just terrified me. But once I noticed the tiniest progress it made my day.
I dunno why I decided to blog this but I felt like it. xP
Plus I may inadvertantly help someone even in the slightest.
I was a bit skeptical when I first saw this, as I was googling online games like Survivor and Big Brother because I've always wanted to try some out. Though I wasn't sure they existed. At first glance this place looks a bit too colorful but if you give it a second glance and click through you find out that it could be really fun.
Insant Judgements aren't always the best things with people, places, or things. Always try to look deeper into something, see what you can find.
Not sure who will all read this but if you are how was your day and did you make any instant judgements today? =3
