Bell's Palsy Anyone?

[desertlover]

Anyone out there affected by Bell's Palsy? My friend is and she has been vaping for awhile. She says it's difficult and frustrating to vape when her palsy acts up. It's a condition where a facial nerve is paralyzed (from what I've read at Web MD and other sites). Anyone else dealing with this issue?

Try a different time of day for a new group of people who may be familiar with this. Anyone?

Months later...does your friend still have BP? I had it years ago and am guessing that I lost about 5 to 10 percent of my nerve function. It is most obvious when I am tired. I have a lopsided smile. Also have a few more wrinkles on my forehead on that side of my face. But it doesn't affect my vaping.

I had Bells Palsy about 8 years ago. Fortunately they pumped me full of steroids and anti virals very quickly and I recovered within 6 weeks. When I'm tired my left eye twitches and I can see a definite change to my face although others tell me it's not noticeable. It hasn't affected my vaping at all but I was a smoker back then. I try to keep myself as stress free as possible as my GP reckons it can return....hopefully not!
