Of all the planning that comes with being a new mom, one woman hadn’t planned for a surprise diagnosis of a neurological condition – just weeks before her due date.
Sheppard said she still struggles with symptoms nearly three months after her diagnosis.
“I do what I think is smiling,” said Sheppard. “It's more scary than frustrating honestly, because you can't help but think, ‘Is this what my face is gonna look like forever?’”, symptoms improve within 3 weeks in most cases, but symptoms can last longer for others. In addition to sudden weakness in the face, those with Bell's palsy can have trouble closing their eyes or mouth.
Bell’s palsy and a stroke can have similar symptoms, so anyone experiencing these symptoms should seek medical attention immediately."We tend to give steroids, antiviral medications for pain, over-the-counter Tylenol or ibuprofen," Ashton said."Most will recover. It can take a very long time. And sometimes the results can be permanent. But the bottom line is, if you notice any of these symptoms, you want to get to an emergency room.
