Avatar f tn I am 25 years old and have suffered from severe fatigue for the past few years. I have had multiple medical conditions to include severe cervical dysplasia, endometriosis, ovarian cysts and ovarian tumors, all benign. In December of 2007 I had a total hysterectomy to include a bilateral oopherectomy. I have been on hormone replacement therapy since and all hormone levels are normal. My health though has continued to deteriorate.

Avatar m tn Bell's Palsy can be caused by trauma and it can also have a delayed presentation after the trauma, although usually not after a 2 month time frame and IF you didn't additionally sustain head and or a facial injury during the dog attack, a condition like Bell's Palsy is very unlikely to have been caused by the type of trauma injury you are saying happened during the dog attack... "What causes Bell's Palsy?
Avatar m tn Oral hsv1 is linked to Bell's Palsy, not genital. Herpes infects nerve groups, so if you have genital herpes, it doesn't affect your face, and vice versa. There are other causes of Bell's Palsy, though, like Lyme Disease and Epstein-Barr, which causes mono. Yes, hsv1 is the cause for a large number of cases, but it's not the only one. The other thing to note is that the IgG test can miss 30% of hsv1 infections.
Avatar f tn Hi. I have had bell's palsy more then 10 times in the last 2 years. Had a mri done and two small spots showed up in the white matter of my brain. I had a lumbar puncture done, still waiting on the results. Could many bell's palsy attacks be a sign for ms? If not what could be causing so many attacks?
Avatar n tn Hi I was wondering if you ever received any answers and if you feel better now. I was diagnosed with gastroparesis in October 2019 and got Bell's Palsy end of February 2020. It's now July and I still have the Bell's Palsy. Just wondering if you have any answers you can share. Thank you.
410281 tn?1254229064 My understanding is that true Bell's Palsy is caused by a peripheral nerve problem. But the root of the cranial nerve (is it VII?) is in the brain, and therefore a lesion in this region (maybe the pons?) could cause a CNS version of Bell's Palsy. A close friend of mine has had Bell's Palsy 3 times in 10 years. The doctors can find no obvious cause for her repeated Bell's Palsy, but she has permanent nerv damage on her face.
Avatar n tn Contracted Bell's Palsy Oct. 2017 after Flu Vaccine Sept 26th approx. 3weeks before taken to Emergency for fear of having a Stroke. Bell's Palsy was determined to be cause of sagging face/lips. I am currently seeking as much info and as many people that have been affected after a Flu Vaccination. Seems to be a rare phenomena but there was conclusive evidence in 2000-2001 with Berna Bio-Tech's Nasal Flu that was recalled due to Bell's Palsy complaints.

Avatar m tn Hi, I,m new on here and basically , I have Bell's palsy about a month or more now. I struggled to tape my eye shut and last week , I had to go eye clinic , to get my eye checked out, they gave me antibiotics, and call back in a few days , I called back and they said I had an ulcer , they also stitched my eye partially shut as I can't close fully with Bell's palsy, so I was told to keep taking antibiotic Chloromycetin 4 times a day, lacri lube 6 times and at night .
Avatar m tn If my partner just got Bell's palsy should I go get my self checked out for herpes? This discussion is related to <a href="/posts/STDs/Chlamydia-and-hiv-fine-but-what-abt-herpes-and-bells-palsy/show/1763055">Chlamydia and hiv fine but what abt herpes and bells palsy</a>.
Avatar f tn Hi there. That must be upsetting to have this recurring so often. We are not doctors here. We're just patients. There are several potential causes of Bell's Palsy, so I would suggest you bring this up to your doctor in precisely the same way you've mentioned it here. Try and provide them with the timeline of your experience with Bell's Palsy. I hope they are able to provide you with answers!
Avatar f tn Bell's palsy is a form of facial paralysis resulting from a dysfunction of the cranial nerve VII (the facial nerve) causing an inability to control facial muscles on the affected side. Several conditions can cause facial paralysis, e.g., brain tumor, stroke, myasthenia gravis, and Lyme disease. However, if no specific cause can be identified, the condition is known as Bell's palsy.
Avatar f tn Most studies indicate that Bell's Palsy is caused by the inflammation of the facial nerve and this can occur as a result of the herpes virus; even herpes simplex. I see no real connection to Breast Cancer Treatment. On occasion it may well happen to someone who is post-treatment for breast cancer but it is known to affect men and women equally / breast cancer, Chemotherapy or not.
Avatar f tn Few months back I performed oral sex for a minute on a massage lady. The next morning, my left side of my face was paralyzed and I was diagnosis with Bell's Palsy. Did not tell my doctor what I did and she said it was probably an viral infection. She prescribed steroid and it was healed in about 2 weeks. I searched the net and can't find any relationship between STI/HIV and Bell's Palsy but I am nervous that they are related. Anyone knows if any STI/HIV can cause Bell's Palsy?
Avatar m tn My son had bell's palsy 6 months ago. His affected eye was bigger but now appears marginally smaller than the normal eye.Also when he smiles spontaneously the affected eye tends to close more than the normal eye.Will his affected eye get even smaller over the next few months or will it stay at this level ? He is 21 years old and was treated with prednisone for 7 days when he was first diagnosed with bell's palsy.
Avatar m tn This could be a cranial autonomic nerve problem, or a simple idiopathic condition called Bell's Palsy, which is a unilateral face numbness, sometimes accompanied by taste changes. Most causes are bening, but you should definitely ask for a head MRI.
Avatar f tn Hi msbutterfly, how are you doing? Sorry to hear about your surgery and continuing sufferings. What was the cause for your surgery? It seems there might have been a nerve impingement due to surgery. Bell's palsy is caused due to the facial nerve paralysis, which might be acute in onset. Depending on the cause, there can be full recovery or partial in couple of weeks. In severe cases a surgery might be required. Has a CT head been done?
Avatar f tn Thanks for responding, Rowena. Bell's Palsy has been ruled out. I wonder if Imitrex, which has worked for my migraine pain, would be okay to take for this paresthesia (without pain) which is apparently due to migraine?
Avatar n tn I have had Bell's Palsy for 12 -15 years. I don't remember when I first noticed it. This week my husband had his first outbreak of Herpes Type II. I have never had any outbreak and do understand that I could have had it all these years because it could have been dormant. My two questions: 1) Can the virus be reactivated and call more damage to the nerve and therefore more paralysis. I have 30% paralyis on the right side of my face now.
