      Is there any medication you take to fight it or does it have to go away by itself?

      @@rihasanatrofolo2472 I had it too, but luckily it got away after around 3-4 months. I got medication, I think it was some sort of oral steroids, I googled it, so I'm not 100% sure, if so it had to be very low doses. It was so my face muscles can build up again. Additionaly to that, I had to do Face exercises, like smiling very bright, trying to lift my eyebrows etc. multiple times every day. The Doctors said if I don't do this exercises, it could happen that my face won't recover.

    Stuff like this really makes you appreciate the privilege of good health. I once got black out drunk and somehow slept on my right hand while upright. I woke up with a phenomena called Saturday Night Palsy where my hand was paralysed and numb for about 2 months. My doctors had no idea what it was because it was so rare. It was a scary time in my life and made me appreciate so much. Fortunately, I got the feeling back over time and it’s practically back to normal. I hope Thor and anyone suffering something like this recovers. God bless

    i had it for about 3 weeks or so. started with a pain behind my ear for about 6-7 days then i couldn't move my facial muscle properly. that when i realized what going on and started facial massaging to keep my muscle firm till the inflamed nerves healed and after 3-4 days started to slowly gain facial muscle control. i was fortunate to not be a long lasting problem wish everyone the best and recover quickly

    Bell's Palsy is a weird thing... My father had it for a couple months when I was a kid, and then it went away. He got it again when I was in my 20's and it went away after a short time again. I hope it gets better for Thor!

    I had it when I were 18 for around 3 to 4 month, at first I thought it were a stroke so a bit of panic sets in. Mine were down to getting some kind of parasite off a field where I played football, so my brain went into protect mode, it's what the doc says. Hope he recovers from it.

    I had bells palsy but mine went away after about a month. It takes so getting used to. Talking is a struggle all in itself sometimes with it. Along with the having a hard time eating sometimes and drooling. The biting your tongue part is the worst cause you can't feel where your tongue is in your mouth. Hopefully it will go away brother.

      Some would say what happened to him was karmic, a two faced guy suddenly got two different sides to his face.

    Thing is, even left untreated, patients recover in anywhere from 14 days to a year.
    He's had this condition, unchanged, for coming up on 4 years now.
    So he's either got the worst case of Bell's Palsy on record, or it's something else.

      Thats actually incorrect and the paralysis can be permanent or very long lasting. Watching his newest videos, there is a huge improvement and his face looks much less affected but it probably won't go back to 100%.
