Question:
Anybody had bells palsy at one time and now suffers facial spasms?
I had bells palsy 12 years ago briefly. The nerves on the right side of my face didn't grow back properly and I get spasms in the right eye and down the right side of my face. The eye is most noticeable. The neurologist put me on various medicines but none worked until an Opthamologist started injecting botox to "paralyze" the nerves. It worked but wore off after a few months. I've been going through this for 10 years and now the botox doesn't even work. Has anyone else had this or know of anything else I could try? It has isolated me socially and made me very self conscious. People think I'm winking at them and when I talk I have a slight slurring because my mouth is slightly twitching.
