Thank you for the condolences on the other thread too. Much appreciated.

All good other than contracting Bells Palsy 4 weeks ago. Currently have total paralysis of the left hand side of my face. Chance of full recovery are slim due to my age but early days yet.

It’s not infrequently a post-viral phenomenon. The advice used to be that steroids (prednisolone) and aciclovir (an antiviral drug) hasten the recovery and increase the chances of a more complete recovery. They need to be started early though. If your GP hasn’t offered these, contact them and ask why not. I doubt the current practice has changed significantly in the last few years since my interests became purely surgical.

Thanks all.....yes was on prednisolone and aciclovir within 3 days. Thankfully I have private health so under a Consultant Neurologist and having a bit of physio.

All the best with recoveries chaps. Craig will mend in time, and hopefully a complete recovery with no lasting effects for Jimbo, fingers crossed.

Best wishes fellas.

Dont give up!
I got Bells Palsy when I was 65 then four months later I got it again!
Scarey it was beacause first time I spent the full day in the “stroke” ward. After a massive dose of Prednisalone each time it went away and hopefully never to return.
