Bell’s Palsy

Today I was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy after a recent illness. I woke up this morning with a paralysed left side of my face. It was really frightening. What with being pregnant, the steroids and antibiotics they would typically give you are no good for baby and as such there’s really not much treatment other than mild painkillers.

I’m now rocking an eye patch as my eye isn’t shutting well. Feeling pretty stressed about it all as I have heard it can take a while to recover! Anyone had any experience with this or have any treatment recommendations?
