Just been diagnosed with Bell's Palsy

[CAS]

For those who don't know it is a temporary paralysis of the face.

How the hell am I supposed to leave the house with a crooked mouth? I was ugly enough before. Even more so now.

I have a friend who had Bell's Palsy. Don't be so hard on yourself. To be honest, she looked pretty cute with the facial spasms... & she didn't really care what other people thought while she recovered. I really doubt you're ugly, even with a crooked mouth. Stop worrying and go out when you want to. <3

Argh, that sucks

I wouldn't worry too much though, people shouldn't give you trouble for it. I think most people are understanding about that sort of thing.

In terms of temporary, do you mean sort of like a temporary condition or that the symptoms (the actual paralysis) is temporary?

I'm sorry though, I know it's hard to deal with issues like that, people forget how awesome it is to be 100% healthy.

Sorry to read about this it is temporary so I wouldn't worry about it. A guy I use to work with had this it lasted maybe 4-6 weeks. Another thing you have to remember is that there are alot of people so into themselves they most likely will not even notice.

I think the important word here is "Temporary". How long does it last? Does it depend on who has it?
