Prayers being said. I’ve had family members who had it & recovered.
Nothing is minor when it comes to people suffering, and it’s no different with Bell’s Palsy. A friend of mine didn’t know she had gotten it overnight until she tried brushing her teeth in the morning and the toothpaste ran uncontrollably down her face. When she looked in the mirror, she was scared to death.
It was then that she also noticed she couldn’t close her eye. She had to wear a patch, and it’s a good thing she has a sense of humor, because her sons called her “pirate” and “Popeye” and bought her a corncob pipe.
She was scared that she’d never recover, but she’s 100% now. You’ll be just fine - it’s just a bumpy road right now.
Bells Palsy is a caused by a nerve inflammation and it’s very important to treat it in its early stages with a steroid like prednisone to dampen the immune system.
Prayers along ... God Bless
You have my prayers. May you be granted the courage to deal with the unkindness of the world around you due to this disease.
Prayers for you.
My prayer that God will heal you.
Still, I can see where this would bother you, and I ask God that your recovery be swift. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Take your steroids, stay out of drafts.
I had it some years ago and it lasted over 2 months. During that time I had to fly to the UK and give a presentation to senior management and beg for money for a project. I totally lost control of the meeting when the execs couldn’t keep a straight face due to my eye patch and my inability to keep a straight face. They seemed to believe that I was “having them on”.
On the trip back I awoke suddenly, hearing a small boy yelling “Pirate! Pirate! Pirate!” as he ran down the aisle away from me. His mommy had to escort him to the toilets.
I can laugh about it now but at the time it was NOT a pleasant experience. Here’s hoping yours clears itself up SOON.
But I remembered and regretted all those times when I was a kid and made fun of people who had medical conditions that were beyond their control. Not cool! I hope it resolves for you quickly. It's kinda scary and I remember being self concious about it even though most people didn't even notice it.
Prayers up for your early recovery.
Prayers. This will pass and you will be fine.
Take care.

Let us know how you’re doing..
Prayers up.
I have a friend who was afflicted with that. Their nerve did regenerate. It did take some time, but they have gotten over it.
I’ll pray for you.
It’s not a nothing issue, and don’t apologize for asking. You have my fervent prayers.
May our Almighty Father grant you reprieve from this disease, heal you and make you whole. May He provide all you need, and comfort you. I ask this in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen
Prayers up. But don’t let it wreck your self-esteem. Famous sufferers of Bell’s Palsy include several people considered among the sexiest in the world: George Clooney, Pierce Brosnan, Katie Holmes. (It’s probably partly the enigmatic Bell’s smile.) Also, David Frum, Sen. Norm Coleman, Canadian Premier Jean Cretien, and Gen. Curtis LeMay.
Endure the discomfort, all will be fine.
Prayers up for you.
