Charles Bell.
No, he has Bell's Palsy...
Bell's palsy is not contagious, and no special precautions should be taken.
It is unlikely. Bell's Palsy really only affects the trigeminal and/or facial nerves of the face.
Any animal with a herpes infection can get Bell's Palsy.
The answer depends on your occupation. I have known nurses, physicians, surgeons, and politicians with Bell's palsy for whom there was no impact.
No; Bell's Palsy is a viral infection caused by the herpes virus during an immuno-compromised condition.
If you have Bell's palsy, you should consult your rheumatologist regarding the wisdom of taking Embrel. It may be safe, or not, depending on the likely underlying cause of the palsy.
I'm not sure how many case studies there are but my father had a bells palsey episode and then some years later got Parkinsons.
Bell's Palsy is one. Dysfunctional cranial nerve causes partial facial paralysis
This would be a very radical and sever option for curing Bell's Palsy. The surgery would have to repair the nerve damage from a very severe case of Bell's Palsy. The most common treatment is time and antiviral medication.
Bell's palsy is a paralysis. If you can still move the muscles located in that region, you don't have bell's palsy. Also, Bell's Palsy paralyzes the entire half of the face, and does not always cause numbness, just inability to control muscle movement. I can't really tell you weather or not it's a pinched nerve, but it doesn't sound like bell's palsy.
There is usually pain behind the ear before the half of the face becomes paralyzed, but when I had it the pain occured after. it's normal for bell's palsy.
