Bells Palsy ever going to go away?!

Bells Palsy ever going to go away?

Okay, so I have this relly annoying Bell's Palsy. I have had it for at least three years!! It is really troubling me lately. It is not very seriouys and does not bother me very much. It is just lowering my self esteem. I can notice my one eyebrow is diffrent, my lip is off alignment. It just makes me feel really uncomfortable with myself. What is this? Is there anything I can do??

Hi Adams Wife

Here are some ideas to start the healing process.

Cause
Neuralgia or Bells Palsy, neuropathy, and neuritis can be caused by diseases such as anemia, diabetes or thyroid disease, pressure from a tumor, nutrient deficiencies, metabolic imbalances, infection, gout, leukemia, syphilis, alcohol abuse, heavy metal toxicity, or direct trauma. To determine the underlying cause, it is necessary to seek professional medical assistance. Once the underlying cause is detected, it must be properly treated before long-term relieve of nerve symptoms can be achieved.
