I am into 5wks nw being affected by Bell's Palsy Syndrome. I've been on steroids & the only improvement is the swellings but my left eye still stays wide open & my mouth still tilts. Can eat & drink with little difficulty. Have an appointment with the doc next mnth. Can i see success before then. 2. There is this thickening on the soles of my feet that pains me so much even my posture changes while walking. What medications can i use?
