Coping with long-term Bell's palsy and Ramsay Hunt Syndrome
Bell's palsy is not an easy diagnosis. Those of you who just got it, and those who already have it for over 1, 5, 10 or even more years will attest to that. Bell's palsy is very hard. It is not only hard physiologically, but it is as equally hard emotionally. Only those who also lost their smile can understand that.
Which is why we wanted to share this video. We want to make sure that you remember that you are not alone on this journey, and that you do not have to pretend to be okay with it, just to make others around you more comfortable.
You need to put yourself first. And it does not matter if you just got facial palsy, or you have been going through it for many years, you need to make sure to prioritize your own wellbeing.
Unfortunately, we cannot help all of you, our clinic has limited resources and possibilities. So with this video, we want to help you to understand, that the best way to fight your fears, frustration and despair, is through the knowledge and understanding of what happened to you and your facial nerve, and why there is still hope for improvement, in most scenarios.

Why facial exercises may not help with synkinesis after Bell's palsy and Ramsay Hunt Syndrome?
Переглядів 2,6 тис.Рік тому
Facial synkinesis is a common complication after a long recovery from peripheral facial palsy (such as Bell's palsy and Ramsay Hunt Syndrome). Most often, to reduce synkinesis, a patient is prescribed certain facial exercises. In this video, we would like to express our opinion based on our knowledge and private research on synkinesis, why such exercises may not be effective and what needs to b...

Acute Bell's palsy: What to do, What NOT to do and What to expect
Здравствуйте. Сегодня утром проснулся и обнаружил, что правая часть губ обездвижена или онемела. Что это может быть? В остальном чувствую себя хорошо. Может это быть из-за того, что отлежал правую сторону?
Я сейчас болею этой болезнью😢
Здравствуйте, Татьяна. Напишите нам на почту info@crystal-touch.nl если вам нужен анализ вашей ситуации и если вы желаете обсудить прогноз восстановления
Выличели ?
Разве это не тройничный нерв.
Тройничный нерв отвечает за чувствительность лица, а его двигательные ветви - за работу жевательных мышц. Мимические же движения управляются через лицевой нерв.
Thank you so much for this video. Just what I was needing
Дякую вам за інформацію ❤
Best video on here day 5 for me and I can kinda eat better! Hopefully next week I’ll be ok!
Is there any chance of healing after 50 yrs of having bells palsy?
To be able to answer this with certainty, I would need more detailed infromation about your facial palsy. In the general cases of Bell's palsy, improvements are possible even after 50 years. This article can help you understand why: crystal-touch.nl/is-bells-palsy-permanent/
I'm 6 weeks into my BP i do have some movement in me eyebrow and i can smirk not a full smile but about 4 days ago I've noticed a weird feeling in my affected side ear like a fluttering or rumbling and it happens pretty often when i talk or laugh or someone talks to me. Is this normal?
If we haven't fully recovered within 6 weeks do you think that means we will definitely develop synesis? Thank you
Everyone's recovery is different. Unfortunately, if you see no movements within 6 weeks, development of some complications is probable. Please take a look at our Bell's Palsy Knowledge Base to understand facial palsy better, including why complications can form: crystal-touch.nl/bells-palsy-knowledge-base/
Здравствуйте. У меня двухсторонный паралич белла. Я много смотрю, читаю о параличе бэлла. Инлотерапия получаю. Не сильно но очень заметно. Я заболела 90-х года.Тогда лечение вообщем было тяжело.
Спасибо .
Доктор добрый день подскажите, пожалуйста. У меня после фореза лица прошло 4 месяца, никто не сказал мне, что надо делать зарядку, только сейчас через интернет я узнала об этом, начала делать, когда примерно ожидать. 1 результаты и стоит ли их вообще ждать, может, посоветуете какую-то зарядку для лица?
Same happened to me like 2 months Ago, I have been going too Accupuncture since it's been recovering Fast and looking waY Better.
Hey. I hope you're doing well. I want to share something with you. In jan 2022 i was diagnosed with GBS. The variant was AIDP. I became completely paralyzed. I was on ventilator for 18 days and was in hospital for almost 2 months. It took me 4 months to completely recover. Now i have bilateral facial palsy. I have done NCS test several times and it shows that my facial nerves are almost recovered. Right now i cant laugh properly and dont have proper expressions. My facial muscles are weak. I need your help.
Браво, доктор! Все ясно и понятно!
Можно вылечить неврит, если он с рождения?
Это очень индивидуальные случаи, и возможность восстановления зависит от многих факторов. Напишите нашим специалистам на info@crystal-touch.nl
I'm dealing with Long-term facial paralysis from RHS. My million-dollar smile has not returned to recovery of pre RHS etc..😓🙏
Brilliant… thank you so much
Резко заболел этой болезнью. Десять дней лечили системой, уколами и таблетками. Затем 10 дней иглоукалывания. Левую сторону лица. Сейчас восстановилась примерно на 80 процентов. Через пару недель повторно лечения иглоукалыванием.
У меня всё также. Как у вас щас успехи?
Завтра последний день иглоукалывания. Мышцы лица заработали на процентов 98 примерно. Искривление полностью исчезло. Иглотерапевт сказал, что через пару месяцев полностью восстановится. Но предупредил, чтобы ещё пару месяцев держал держал шею и лицо в тепле. Ещё раз пишу, как только произошёл паралич лица, сразу вызывайте скорую. Скорая увезет вас в больницу для обследования, так как эта болезнь и инсульт по симптомам похожи.
@@tsv2117 как хорошо, что у вас всё обошлось, я вот только выписался с больницы, щас буду тоже на иглоукалывание ходить. Надеюсь что всё будет хорошо. Скорейшего выздоровления вам🥰
И еще, перед иглоукалыванием десять дней делали систему, 10 уколов внутримышечно и 5 внутривенно. Пропил таблетки преднизолон 30 дней.
Будет все хорошо. Только найдите хорошего специалиста по иглоукалыванию. Я ходил к человеку, который жил в Китае и недавно вернулся на историческую родину
Wow.. You are brilliant. Wish I had heard about you 2 year's ago... You are incredibly inspiring and have given me hope and peace of mind... Thank you so much
Is there any chance for a Bell's Palsy patient like me to recover, I suffered this situation for 74 yrs, my eyes doesn't close when I'm sleeping, that caused my eyes cornea damage .
It depends on the causes and your history with Bell's palsy, but in general, it can be possible to see improvements after 74 years. Please take a look at this article to understand why, and contact us if you would like more information: crystal-touch.nl/is-bells-palsy-permanent/
Thanks Mr. Alex. You are a motivational speaker! You give hope to the hopeless and strength to the weak. After your explanations, bell's palsy seemed to be very little case. God bless you ❤

So why isn’t doing the exercises helpful? When athletes have injuries and their muscles are weak they do exercises to strengthen their muscles. isn’t it the same thing or what’s the difference I am on weak 5 and I just found this video. I have been doing exercises but it has been a slow recovery but I do see a little progress (which after watching this video I am not sure if the exercises helped or it was just my body working on its own). Still I am not sure if I worsened it by doing exercises or if I made it better.
That's a good question. Indeed, when a muscle in our body is weak or injured, doing specific exercises can help to recover it. However, in facial palsy (also Bell's palsy and Ramsay Hunt Syndrome), muscles are not injured or impaired in any way. The facial paralysis does not affect muscles. It affects the facial nerve. If an athlete were to injure a nerve instead of a muscle, the recovery would not consist only of exercises. First, it would consist of a recovery period, during which the athlete would be put on rest, and would not be allowed to use the injured area, until the nerve recovers and becomes able to contract and relax the muscle affected again. After which, very specific and well crafted rehabilitation exercises will be given to the athlete to further improve the recovery of the nerve and bring the strength back to the muscle lost during the recovery period during which the athlete cannot use the muscles affected. There will possibly be a lot of other recovery and rehabilitation techniques involved in order to help the athlete recover the damaged nerve. Another important distinction to consider, is that our nerves around our facial muscles are a lot (and I mean significantly a lot) more differentiated and nuances that in other parts of our body. While the nerves in our arms or legs are responsible for contracting big muscles and muscle groups, the nerves in our face are made to contract single muscle fibers, so we could produce extremely finely tuned expressions and communicate using our face. And to answer your question, during the acute phase we do no recommend doing exercises for the same reasons an athlete would not be allowed to use the affected muscle while the nerve is recovering. At best - it would have no effect because the nerve is disconnected from the muscle fibres and cannot contract or relax the muscles. There is a possibility it can affect the complications that may develop at later stages. It does not affect the recovery process, so you did not make it worse. From now, focus on relaxation and gentle massages instead. Be patient. I hope this helps to answer your question. If you need more clarification, please feel free to contact us at info@crystal-touch.nl
Хорошая информация
I felt my lower eyelid twitched in 4 days of my bells palsy day . is it the sign of recovery or getting worsen 😢
It is likely a sign of recovery. Only time can tell for sure.
Благодарю Вас доктор! Ваша рекомендация мне помогла успокоиться. У меня уже восьмой день заболевания. Был испуг но паники не было, я почему то была уверена что это пройдет. Потихоньку востанавливаюсь.🙏🙏🙏
Здравствуйте, как сейчас вы себя чувствуете, есть улучшения? У меня шестой день болезни,пока никаких результатов.
