Bells Palsy?
![[Deleted User]](https://w9.vanillicon.com/913dc749a89340be08d9c123510489f6_100.png)
Have spent stressful 2 days with my sister in hospital who after tests for allsorts has been diagnosed with bells palsy
To cut long story short neurologist has suggested a 50/50 chance of recovery in time for her wedding in 6 weeks time. Does anyone know anyone who has suffered/ what was recovery like/ and is there anything else she can do to aid recovery process??
I feel so sorry for her, obviously v relieved that the problem isn't clinically more serious - tests were for minor stroke / clotting etc, but she has been planning this wedding so excitedly after a traumatic first pregnancy ; and I so want everything to be right for her on the day

if your sister has an oncomplete bells palsy, as it sounds like she has, then she can expect a 94 % chance of complete recovery, there should be a significant improvement by 3 weeks
Did they give her steroids or aciclovir/
Did she have other tests?
E mail if you want
Re tests she had lumber puncture, MRI scan and CT scan + all sorts of blood tests (results not back yet) and a chest x-ray
Will get back tomorrow off to swimming club championships with small HRs now!
A proper set of tests
