My brother, age 53, has just been diagnosed with Bell's Palsy. He had Chicken Pox as a child and Shingles as an adult. Does not have fever blisters. Right side of face is paralized and must tape eye shut at night.
Ice packs help pain.
He tires easily and words slur when he talks alot. He says he feels somewhat disoriented. He's under an HMO in New Bransfels, Texas and the physician did not refer him to a Neurologist. I'll try to get him to put his history in writing for me to post. Would everyone pls.help me in emailing to those that have posted notes about Bells Palsy asking them to post on the new Bell's Palsy section giving as many facts as possible.
