Postpartum diseases

Jacqueline
I'm 2 weeks pp and just yesterday I woke up with half of my face numb. Got freaked out and checked myself to the ER and they said it is "Bells Palsy" never in my life thought I would get this. Never heard of it either :( 
My question is, has anybody experienced something like this or knows who suffered from this. If so how long did it take to recover?
