Hello. I've had Bell's Palsey for about a month now. Took strong doses of Prednisone for the first five days, but the Acylovir made me so sick, I had to quit taking it. Based on what I've read and heard from the people I have talked with, I expect it to last another month.
However, from reading the messages on this discussion board, there's no way to be sure how long.
I appreciate all the information and advice that I've read here. I'm back to work - I took a week off to rest -- and keeping a positive attitude about it.
I haven't tried acupuncture or any other alternative treatments, but if this lasts more than 2 months, I would consider trying it.
