Hi Elizabeth and welcome to NeuroTalk! I'm sorry to hear about your daughter's struggles.

I had a bout of Bells Palsy about three years ago. If affected the right side of my face and lasted about three months I believe. I still have a little bit of a noticeable droop to the right side although my friends tell me they don't notice it. I'm sure I'm just more aware of it so I notice it more.

Do you know if the Bells Palsy was related to her diabetes? I've never heard of the two being related but I learn something new everyday here on this site!! I have MS and my Neuro told me that he thought mine was directly related to my MS.

Here is the link to our General Health Conditions & Rare Disorders Forum:

I believe there were a few posts in this forum related to Bells Palsy.

Glad you joined us!
