    My son has had Bell’s palsy since 2006, our local doctor wasn’t interested in helping said it wasn’t that serious, but my son was devastated, it completely changed his personality, and was bullied at school, he still has it today.

    I have a moderately severe case and am really worried about permanent damage

  11. RETUSAF1995 on November 29, 2021 at 11:13 am

    Temporary? I had it for 28 months!!!

  12. Gabe Marcus on November 29, 2021 at 11:14 am

    Not taking the mark of the bea$,t

  13. Kat Lizeth on November 29, 2021 at 11:14 am

    Does anyone else have trouble saying Bell’s palsy while having Bell’s palsy? I can’t seem to be able to pronounce those words well since half my face is frozen. Lol the irony

  14. Maria Josephine milgo on November 29, 2021 at 11:17 am

    I had bells palsy for 10 years sometimes I’m OK sometimes it comes back I lost my self confidence but I’m in vlogging I just closed my eyes to continue even inside of my heart I’m so afraid if people judge me through my facial appearance like other people do

  15. Clauzell Blackshear on November 29, 2021 at 11:17 am

    I have bells palsy too I know the feeling

  16. Rocks Of Offence. Righteous Ambassadors Of Christ. on November 29, 2021 at 11:18 am

    Treatment after recovering? You shouldn’t have to treat something you’ve already recovered from.

  17. J Ram on November 29, 2021 at 11:21 am

    This is just click bait. I looked at it to hear from her not people talking about her

  18. Rhianna Dodd on November 29, 2021 at 11:21 am

    My grandmother had that

  19. Yahsararel Ben Yahcèph on November 29, 2021 at 11:22 am

    I guess stressing out cause slavery and death

  20. PAULINE Elliott on November 29, 2021 at 11:22 am

    I had it 3 times, last time about 17 years ago. Mine is stress related I think. My paralysis is permanent

  21. Melody G on November 29, 2021 at 11:24 am

    Unfortunately, this doctor gave a wrong guide on Acupuncture clinic of facial palsy. It seems he does more indulge in his theory rather than dealing with the suffering of his patients

  22. Anonomus Bish on November 29, 2021 at 11:26 am

    Was diagnosed 2.5 hours ago , hoping for a quick recovery

  23. RD H on November 29, 2021 at 11:27 am

  24. Tarun Chauhan on November 29, 2021 at 11:29 am

  25. The Orange Spot on November 29, 2021 at 11:29 am

    Man… looking at all the comments about people who been having it for years makes me feel scared and hopeless as I’ve been having it for about 2 months now and I’ve yet to see a change. 😔

  26. V M on November 29, 2021 at 11:30 am

    I have Bell’s palsy for 3 years 90/100 🙁

  27. Carlton Vincent on November 29, 2021 at 11:30 am

    Did this guy say a hole in the skull? He’s an idiot. Where is the hole and how does it get to the hole? And why do people suffer from it all their life? He doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

  28. J C on November 29, 2021 at 11:31 am

    So disturbed to see and hear so many people have been diagnosed with BP after the Covid vaccine! I know several people got it right after the vaccine. It is so real!!! One man I know for years who’s been healthy as a horse even died shortly after the 2nd shot; another teenager lost his ability to perform sports after the jan; Gavin Newsom got the Bealls palsy too, although the fake news media is trying to cover it up 😩 For those of you who are unfortunate to get this disease, take vitamin B-12 daily and start acupuncture treatment right away! Do not waste your time! I am lucky enough to recover from my Bell’s palsy ! It is no joke at all!

  29. Meet Dogg Black on November 29, 2021 at 11:31 am

    Inflammation from a certain Vaccine 💉🤔

  30. g. jop on November 29, 2021 at 11:34 am

    I don’t believe her

  31. Monita G on November 29, 2021 at 11:35 am

    I was born with facial paralysis and now im almost 27 yo…u can imagine my struggle Angelina I cant even smile without being criticised…I cant close my eye when some fly is heading inside my eye or if its stormy it gets worse…. when I was young doctors told me I will recover when im older now that im old they r telling me u r too old to have a surgery or anything…….it depressing

  32. Pshady on November 29, 2021 at 11:35 am

    9th days after my diagnostic, still no improvement but I have relearned how to eat and drink, and also how to look after an eye that doesn’t close.

    Taping my eye closed at night helps my eye feel good in the morning. It sucks. wish everyone good vibes with healing up.

  33. Jade Mitchell on November 29, 2021 at 11:35 am

    Anybody have a lot of upper neck pain in the beginning of their flare?

  34. Ersily Lopezz on November 29, 2021 at 11:37 am

    I had it last year in December and I was so scared bro after I went to the hospital I took pills for it and after a week it was gone and I felt so grateful bc most of the time it doesn’t go for months

  35. 1exlds on November 29, 2021 at 11:38 am

    If joli is serious about she would be a spokeswoman for nurses get this current side effect

  36. Julie Brown on November 29, 2021 at 11:40 am

    I have had bales palsy 2x , 1st time after My 1st son was born and 2x after my last son was born. It took 9 months both times and I was on prednisone the whole time. My youngest is 13 now and almost 2 years ago I was diagnosed with addisons disease (Autoimmune disorder) idk if I had it back then. I do get a droopy upper eyelid when I’m really tired .

  37. Penelope on November 29, 2021 at 11:41 am

    I think I might have this! I always thought my face was uneven but now that I look closely it’s just one side of my face isn’t moving like the other!!?!

  38. Maja Mouse on November 29, 2021 at 11:45 am

    I’m born with Bells Palsy.

  39. Mae88 B. on November 29, 2021 at 11:46 am

    Im on day 15, i feel 60% improvement. I felt the twitch on my lips and eyes like for 3 days (day 12-15)and after that i saw the improvement of my mouth and cheeks. Just my eyes still gets dry and blink little bit late than the other. Im so happy i thought i wouldn’t recover. And mine is just mild case. I think when u feel the twitching in ur lips and eyes be happy about it cos you are about to start to get better.

  40. ex why Z on November 29, 2021 at 11:47 am

    I have Bells Palsy I am currently on day 22, I started my first movement on the paralyzed side today!!

  41. Wilma Jeff on November 29, 2021 at 11:48 am

    Dr Aloyee on YouTube your natural herbs & roots product for beaten HSV completely s the best

  42. MMM APPLE CRUMBLEE on November 29, 2021 at 11:49 am

    I’m born with Bell’s palsy and man, every now and then I think about how everyone takes being able to have a normal smile and raise both eyebrows for granted.

  43. Anne* 411 on November 29, 2021 at 11:49 am

    Why dont they tell us how she got it after a vaccine

  44. Fabian Caius on November 29, 2021 at 11:50 am

    hm

  45. Sal S on November 29, 2021 at 11:50 am

    Ppl I had it a few years ago my solution thank god was me reaching over my hot boiling water steam while trying to reach over and flip over a quesadilla lol best feeling ever was that instant feeling of my face I swear one of the happiest days of my life!! Hope I can help some one out there with my experience

  46. Mark G on November 29, 2021 at 11:50 am

    Garbage

  47. J C on November 29, 2021 at 11:50 am

    I’m shocked he never even mentioned about vitamin B 12, Which helped me tremendously with my recovering from BP. Btw, acupuncture also helped me to recover.

  48. polly reymond on November 29, 2021 at 11:50 am

    Isn’t it really dangerous to enable people to not complete a course of antibiotics? Aren’t we walking the line with treatment resistant viruses already??

  49. Jeff Arp on November 29, 2021 at 11:51 am

    I had it a few years back, the weirdest thing that I noticed was I could take a bottle of hot sauce shake some in my mouth and I could taste the heat on my right side but the left side of my tongue couldn’t taste nothing. Very weird.

  50. MîżżŢŔÂÇÝ on November 29, 2021 at 11:52 am

    Is it true that covid vax has Bells on the rise?
