suffering from bellys palsy for the last week

Had Bells Palsy twenty years ago. I was told I had a severe case since the nerves were responding less and less to electrical testing. After waiting four weeks with no improvement I had surgery to relieve the pressure of the canal which the nerves flow through behind my ear. I had improved sensation the very next day. It usually returns on its own after a few weeks but if not, try the surgery. Not to worry....
