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?
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.
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.

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!
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.
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.
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?
Hi,
How are you? The numbness on your head and face maybe due to Bell's palsy, complex migraines and other neurological issues. In Bell's palsy, the muscles in your face become temporarily paralyzed. It usually affects just one side of the face. If it persists, have this evaluated further for proper management. Direct clinical examination and complete neurological examination will rule out any nerve-problems or infection. Take care and do keep us posted.
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.
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.

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.
Hi,
How are you? It is good that stroke and lyme disease were ruled out. Another differential I could think of is Bell's palsy. This is a partial or total weakness of the facial nerve resulting to facial weakness. It develops suddenly or over a period of 48 hours and is associated with facial numbness, headache, change in taste and a crooked smile or slurred speech. The cause of Bell's palsy is unknown but it is often point to a viral infection.
Welcome to the Forum. You are not at risk. . Kissing is no risk, even deep ("French") kissing and even with a person who sores on their mouth or has gum or dental disease. Conversely, your sore throat does not change this- still no risk.
Thus:
1. No, no risk.
2. There is no need for testing related to kissing.
3. Having kissed the hostesses does not suggest that you need to have protected sex with your regular partner.
4.
