Very true
Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people by an upsetting event happening in their lives that takes them by surprise, unexpectedly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death. Why are so many people across the world suddenly having their appendix removed? The appendix is associated with “being in fear for one’s life”. The HEALING phase is the rupture/inflammation.
While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the war, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes.
Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way.
It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......

I give Justin huge credit for showing a video of himself in such a vulnerable state. I had Bell’s Palsy and it was incredibly painful for two months. I slept all day most days. When I got full mobility back (was scared about it not happening) I was overjoyed. My speech was affected and eating was really difficult during that time. When the nerves were becoming active again, it felt like a searing pain from my ear throughout my jaw. Just noticed you had it too Dr. Gary - much appreciated the share
One of our local Ladies had B.P. but she never recovered. Her face was twisted for the rest of her life.
Hes such a hero🙄
He had to show it . The fans would’ve been pissed because he had concerts to do
You realize he had to cancel his world tour right? He had no choice but to explain what happened to him.
@@bbginc694 of course he’s going to show what he has. They are having to reimburse ticket sales to his fans. Why is it brave to be honest? The real question is if they are going to be honest and link this to his double vaccination and double booster shots. He was backed into a corner he had to tell people what happened. Magic Johnson telling the world he had aids and was ostracized out of the nba for a couple yrs. Hard being brave. He could’ve lied and said he wanted to spend time with family. But this isn’t brave he couldn’t hide it and people were out hundreds if not thousands of dollars to go see his concerts. It’s called being an honest person. Boy fans will give a celebrity credit for doing absolutely nothing! 😂😂😂
My mom had Bell's Palsy some years ago. Based on your chart I would say she was a grade V. She couldn't close her eye and her mouth drooped very badly. The Doctor gave her steroids, but nothing seemed to improve. She had to use eye ointment and tape her eye shut at night. This went on for a couple of months. She didn't want to leave the house and she started getting depressed. My mom had a pretty limited diet and tended to eat the same foods a lot. I thought maybe she should take a Multi Vitamin. I gave her a bottle of Multivitamins and also a bottle of Vitamin E (400 iu) and told her to start taking one a day of each. She called me after just a few days and asked me to come over. Surprisingly, her eye was almost able to close, and her mouth was barely drooping. I couldn't believe it. She was so happy. The funny thing is, she said it was the Vitamin E. She said she couldn't take the multivitamin because it was too big. So she only took the Vitamin E. She kept taking the Vitamin E and she almost fully recovered within 2 weeks. She was able to close her eye completely. When she smiled we could still tell a little bit, but probably wouldn't have been noticable to someone that wasn't looking for it. For her at least, I am convinced the Vitamin E turned out to be an accidental solution to the Bell's Palsy.
I take vitamin E every day for immune and antioxidant properties.
Yes, I had a horrible motorbike accident but took E & C daily & have damaged spine but no awful scars left. It’s also helped many burn victims.
@@brendonknight4897 right after high school, I sustained a terrible burn on my left thigh. My mom insisted that I put vitamin E on it every day, even after it healed. I did that for a long time and even I can hardly tell which leg it was. It used to tan a little darker than my other leg, but even that is now gone. Since then, I use it for all skin wounds and to minimize scarring.
Beautiful story!

What a very nice man you are. That comes not just from the trials you have faced, but from how you were raised. You know how to listen and how to see into your patients lives, not just their current problems. And the frosting on the cake is how you explain in a way that belittles no one, whether inside or outside of the medical community. Your family, friends and patients are lucky to have you in their lives.

I had Bell's Palsy at 13. (Using the scale you showed, grade 5) My doctor took a large book off the shelf and said, "Read this. Now you know everything I know about it." The only known possible treatment at the time was Benadryl. I couldn't say 'Fried Fish' for months. 50 years later you can still see the effects with one eye that wants to close when I don't want it to, such as when blowing up a balloon; and a crooked smile, especially when I'm tired. Being a music teacher, I had to learn how to play all of the band and orchestra instruments in college. But, the only brass instrument I could play was the tuba and whenever I played a woodwind instruments, my eye would close, leaving me with only one eye to see the music.
Very interesting and insightful. I'm sorry you went through that, and especially at such a young age, I'm sure it was tough. That said, I would venture a guess that age was on your side, and maybe made it more of a possibility of recovering to the point you have. It's crazy how after half a century, effects linger even now, but I can't say I expected the opposite. Thank you for sharing your experience and I wish you all the best.
My husband had it too at age 13-14. He said that viewing those erratic "japanime" films with speedy flickering caused it. Thankfully it was temporary.
I had it in my early 20s and 30 years later the effects are still visible, especially when I'm tired. It also causes crocodile tears when I eat.
Hmmm i wounder if it is from chicken pox, herpes or the V. Hope that the last one is not the case but given tjat one of the side effects is shingles which can lead to hunts syndrome
I had it too ... After 4 months my faces was normal again . I started to do exercises for the jaw and the eyes , after 3 months I was going back to normal ... It was a horrible experience .
I love that you’re a doctor that also has medical issues. It really shows your strength and it gives me hope that I can enter the medical field too regardless of my pain problems.
He should have been treated already and had get much improvement
Both boosting themselves into a box 💉 💉 💉
You love that he has medical issues? That’s mental.
A I started taking the medication I bought from Dr odija channel on TH-cam and surprisingly it was working gradually and in 9days everything changed . I am really happy that you cured me naturally and I pray that God strengthens you Dr odija
Hey! I’m a PA student with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. I’m one of 2, maybe 3 people in the PA profession in the entire country to have a service dog. I use a wheelchair about 30% of the time and rely on 27 medications and infusions through a port just to walk.
Long story short, you can do this. You will make a fantastic healthcare provider. Keep pushing!
This is one of the finest presentations on any topic I've ever seen on TH-cam. Dr. Linkov presents a wealth of information so coherently and compactly that it is difficult to imagine improving on it. In particular, his color Venn diagram relating the various probabilities for different causes was outstanding. As a Ph.D. retired professor with nearly 30,000 scientific citations, I'm really impressed by this.
I sincerely appreciate you Dr Ewi1 on TH-cam, I wonder what could have become of me if you weren't the one who handled my case.thanks for curing my H.I.V, am grateful.💗

I had Ramsay Hunt Syndrome in 2017. Started with an excruciating earache, then a few days later I couldn't swallow (the muscles in the back of my throat couldn't contract) and within a week of the initial earache, half my face was paralyzed. 2 doctor visits related to the earache, 2 Emerg visits related to the throat and then the facial paralysis before it was diagnosed. No lesions at any point. Took at least a year for the muscles and nerves to mostly come back, but some asymmetry in my face and odd tics lasted for years. Today I'd say it's about 95% back to normal.
Besides the illness itself, the worst part was how dismissive doctors were when I kept telling them something was wrong and then again when I asked what I could do to facilitate recovery.
(grammatical edit)
I can't even imagine the pain. I am so glad you are better.😇🧡
@@Sunlineish Yeah, was NOT a good time. 😖 Hopefully Justin will bounce back fully and quickly.
I noticed he clicked his tongue a few times as he spoke in the video. Is that a kind of tic caused by the Ramsay Hunt?
@@mamamememoo The 'tics' that I had were more related to the nerves not communicating to the muscles the way they used to - it was like wires got crossed. For example, the muscles around my eye would twitch if I moved my mouth a certain way, or a muscle in my cheek would contract making my one eye seem to squint, that kind of thing. Even today, my one eye looks a bit smaller than it used to because of the way my facial muscles contract. I don't know about the tongue clicking, but it's also possible it could just be that his mouth is a bit dry either as a symptom of the condition or of medication. Hard to say.
😥 ❤
Dr. Gary, you are such a kind person. You explained the illness in a very positive manner with plenty of HOPE to those people who suffered the condition! For those who have no idea, I for one what the cause of the illness is, which is a virus. Now I know that it is a serious condition but could be treated if given an immediate attention and care. Thank you...God bless your heart!
covid vaccine is safe . he got what he deserves

Vaxx induced?
Possibly a virus. But also could be a side effect from a procedure.....think about it....very real possibility.
@@ozzie444 his wife also had a blood clot in March . too much of a coincidence
My daughter, 49 yo, has Bell’s Palsy on the left side of her face. She’s had it for years. The 7th cranial nerve is affected. She cannot sip from a cup, she has to use a straw. It does affect her eye closing. It also affects her smile. She has a well known neurologist that follows her with MRIs and/or CAT scans a couple times a year. He sees her every 3 months for observation. Having this condition upsets her a lot and on a daily basis. God bless anyone with any health issues that affect your daily lives and happiness. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I lost my hearing at 34 after 2 bone marrow aspirations as I was misdiagnosed with leukemia. Give my love to your daughter and tell her to keep pushing through. It gets tough at times and we're allowed to have bad days. I always think about the things I'm thankful for when I'm feeling down knowing there are people so much worse off then me.
I also had that sickness before half of my face was paralyzed they called it bells palsy, and i had facial therapy it's like accupuncture but they are using a machine with electric current to certain areas on my face im not sure for how long i guess a month and everything went back to it's normal state..im sure that your daughter will be healed too..God bless
Bell's Palsy is a symptom of Lyme Disease.

I’m a Justin fan also, and thank you so much for explaining this syndrome and sharing your own issues with Bells Palsy. You are beautiful human being doctor. God bless you. And keep sharing this educating and enlightening information. I know many of us appreciate it very much. ☺️🌹
Prayers for Justin and all who suffer with this and with Bell's Palsy. My brother came down with Bell's Palsy at 16. He got picked on so bad that he quit school and joined the Army. All his life he had a bit of droop to his right cheek near his mouth but it wasn't too bad. He was still handsome as ever. God bless you Doc and I am happy to see you recovered well!
Praying for celebs..
Thank God he is recovering well.
Prayers for the people getting 4 vaxes and 5 boosters.

To see a person so young and talented suffering from such a debilitating affliction is heart breaking. I hope he makes a quick and full recovery.
Dr. Linkov, there are so many things I appreciate, respect and admire about you. The fact that you share your own personal health struggles and speak freely and openly about them makes you so relatable. Even though your surgical work is clearly among if not above the best there is available, you don't have the overpowering, giant ego that oftentimes goes along with such knowledge and talent. Thank you for being down to earth and real.
Thank you! I do my best.
I love that dr. Linkov isn’t trying to sell you on his work or his practice in his videos. Little does he know he’s convinced me that if I ever pull the trigger on a nose job, he’s who I would book my consult with. He is so considerate of his patients. It is refreshing to see a doctor who seemingly really cares.
covid vaccine is safe . he got what he deserves
Yeah, covid is wrecking young people more than is being acknowledged by the US media/gov. Other counties' govs are acknowledging these studies though.
Love this comment, it totally 💯 is true.
Best wishes to Justin for a speedy recovery at this challenging time. Thanks for sharing your insight and your own struggles, Dr Gary.

Thank you for this clear explanation. I also particularly appreciate the respectful way you talk about people. Kudos on your channel.
You are such a compassionate, articulate person. What a great video.
Mahalo my doctor friend for explaining the syndrome. My baby brother had Bells Palsy from riding a bike in bitter cold with no mask all symptoms went away. We as siblings had a good chuckle…little bro is a real buster to us. All is well God is Good.
I don’t think you can get Bells Palsy from riding a bike in bitter cold. I grew up in the Arctic and know no one who got Bells Palsy from being outside in the bitter cold.
Thank you for this video. My mom just got diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome & it’s thanks to Doctors like you that we have a better understanding of other treatments we should look into to help my moms facial paralysis diminish. Thank you.
I had Bell’s palsy about 5 years ago, I looked in the mirror and thought I was having a stroke, went to the emergency room and they shot me up with a steroid and gave me some after care instructions, it was fully gone within 18 days. I’m glad I had good doctors who recognized it right away and got me fixed up. For what it’s worth I do have HS2

That’s so lovely Dr Linkov. I hope he gets better too. I love that he put a video out showing people what was going on with him. It’s always good to learn about these things.

@@DoesNotInhale it would be a shame if I knew what the fuck you were talking about. Lucky I don’t
It sucks that it's happening to him, but it's definitely bringing attention to long COVID effects.
Interesting to hear your perspective both as a doctor and as someone who had the condition yourself.

Terrible that Justin Bieber is going through this but the upside is public awareness so that, should anyone fall to this condition, they can seek immediate treatment. And you, Dr. Linkov, have made a remarkable recovery! Prayers for us all!
This is part of life, things happen we cannot control.
Oh, and we will definitely see more of it as well as more blood clot and heart disease symptoms similar to his wife Hailey. Takeaway: don't accept any mandated medical procedures, no matter what. Eventually, it will be the Mark of the Beast as told us by the very Wordof God in the Bible.
Great video - thank you for this. I wish I knew all this when I got Bell's Palsy over 20 years ago. I had almost complete paralysis on the right side of my face for about 9 months. I didn't get any medications, because it didn't seem like there was as much knowledge back then. I did eventually connect with a neurologist who was able to determine the damage to my nerve. It did grow back over time, but I'm slightly asymmetrical now and it really shows if I'm tired. My eye closes on it's own during certain movements and I have great difficulty with a straw. I got it a second time about 10 years later, but I knew a lot more then and the doctor got me squared away immediately, without lasting effects. I literally just woke up with it one day and had never heard of it prior to that. Thanks again for such a great explanation. I hope Justin recovers well!
What vaccine caused it? The Corona vax caused it in two of my friends😭😭
@@patriotliberty3070 wasn’t from a vaccine. They think it was a dormant virus or just a fluke.

Dr. Gary, I must say, in my head you're my new doctor. Your patients should be grateful to have you as their doctor 🙏. You're are educating so much people with your superb medical knowledge and experience that is beyond grateful...Thank goodness for Dr.Gary Linkov.
Thanks, Gary, for the open disclosure …I was impressed that Justin has done the same. I’m pleased to know you recovered and I do wish the same for Justin…he and Hailey have had quite a year, health-wise….they both work hard…it’s got to be time for rest! 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ

I wonder why they had such a bad year health wise? What could they possibly have taken that would have suppressed their immune system?🤔something that has a connection to increases in shingles, herpes, etc...
@@prilknight Co Vid
@@davemattia it’s possibly an affect of co vid however this Dr had BP prior to the pandemic
@@girasol58504 Bells Palsy and Ramsay Hunt are totally different diseases. The exact cause of Bell's is not fully understood (Herpes Simplex-1 has been implicated) whereas Ramsay Hunt is clinically known to be caused by the zoster virus. Basically,. apart from the similar paralysis, the two diseases have nothing in common the way a headache from a brain tumor and a headache from a migraine simply produce the same or almost the same symptoms yet are unrelated. I believe my Ramsay Hunt was caused by my getting covid 5 months after the J and J shot. Covid alone might not do it. You probably need the vax reaction mix to covid to mess up your immune response. I felt minor symptoms of covid for one month, then I felt fine and then four days later cranial nerve shingles - ear, face, scalp, neck, shoulder - and then a few days after that, ramsay hunt.
I'm sorry to hear this. I hope he gets better. Doctor thank you for your humanity and kindness.
Thank you for knowledge and compassion. You are the TOPS!!
Thank you for your insight Dr. Linkov. I knew next to nothing about the information you provide on your channel. Keep up the great work Doc!💪🏽
As a biomed nerd I just wanna say I really love your that your explanations use correct anatomical and physiological terms. I'm sure you're an amazing patient-educator.
Bells palsy for me too in my 30's, was in the ER within an hour of first symptoms level 5 it sucked but recovered fully thanks to modern medicine and Gods love. You got this JB
Had similar symptoms persistent after my covid vaccine. I was given prednisone.

Am I the only one that prefers Dr. Linkov with no hair? 🥰 Looking at the older video was like looking at a whole different person. Thanks for addressing this Doc... Speedy recovery to Justin. 🙏💕
🙋♀️ Me too. It suits him.
For this particular video I had to really focus in as I was sitting next to my daughter in her twenties who is a Justin Bieber fan. I had no idea that he had the Ramsay hunt syndrome, she did 💯but you know young adults don't talk to their parents sometimes concerning their crushes on Superstars. Anyway I thought your presentation this time Dr Gary 🌹as I really tuned in since I had no awareness that Justin Bieber had Ramsay Hunt Syndrome. Besides giving medical knowledge you also showed such compassion and sympathy and provided any type of medical treatment that could help Justin in recovering from this illness 🙏It's just so amazing how you covered all grounds with the hows and whys of this particular medical problem that Justin Bieber is suffering from right now. Your presentation was very informative 💯. I hope too that he heals and that he will be able to one day get back on stage and perform for all those fans that adore him❤️⭐❤️
You and Rena Malik are my favorite TH-cam doctors. Smart, thorough and compassionate!
Poor Justin. I hope he improves soon. I have permanent facial nerve damage from surgery to my right ear (acoustic neuroma). The surgeon severed a main facial nerve. My blinking is the same as Justin's and when it first happened my eye stung like hell because I couldn't blink. The doctors wanted to sew my eye up because not blinking could cause infection, but I wouldn't allow it. Instead I used eyedrops every 2 minutes and gel in my eye at night time while I slept. Now I can blink just a little in that eye. My mouth still does not move on that side and I try not to smile or laugh as I hate my smile so much, which is very sad. Get well soon, Justin. I know how you feel 🤗
Did you sue the doctor? I hope you did.
@@bleuskye8124 No, because in Australia the health care system is free and we have to sign a consent form before surgery to say that all information, complications and risks have been explained and we have a choice whether to go ahead or not. Unfortunately nerve damage was one of the risks as it is such a complicated procedure.
Oh dear I’m so sorry for all you’ve been through. My doctor suspected an aural neuroma was causing my tinnitus. I had a few anxious days waiting for the scan results; fortunately, that wasn’t the case. I just have to live with tinnitus.
@@brendatomlinson I’m very glad that it wasn’t a tumour in your case 👍🏼 I’m totally stone deaf in that ear now but I still have tinnitus as well 🙄 but I look on the bright side, neuromas are benign, thankfully 🙏🏻
@@cheekyllamacreations yes indeed. I have slight hearing loss at higher frequencies - which is odd bc the tinnitus is higher frequency. There’s no guarantee a hearing aid will stop tinnitus so I’m not going to bother.
Seeing Dr. Gary with hair is a trip. Never thought I'd see the day.
Dr Gary with hair that was different. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Gives hope to a lot of people and shows how empathetic you are.
Im glad you mentioned the eye, I hope he covers it. Can you please share what anti viral treats this? You are such a stellar type Doc, I love to watch your videos. You have really walked a mile in our shoes.
Excellent explanation, Doc. Thank you.
Good on you Doc for the kind words to Justin, may you both recover completely with no long term effects.
I hope and pray that every person, including Justine, makes a speedy recovery as swiftly as possible .
1. Was Justin Bieber diagnosed with Lyme's disease?
2. How often is face paralysis caused by Lyme's DZ in patient's with Lyme's DZ?
3. Why is it IMPERATIVE to correctly identify Lyme's DZ face paralysis vs Ramsay Hunt HSV?
This is interesting. I've had Bell's Palsy four times. The 1st time in my late 30's I woke up in the morning, went to get ready for work but while brushing my teeth realized the toothpaste was dribbling down my chin. I stopped, looked at myself in the mirror and realized the right side of my face was drooping and I couldn't close my eyelid. I realized I had Bell's and had a really difficult time trying to communicate with my husband that I didn't have a stroke but Bell's Palsy (I could barely speak intelligible like half my mouth & tongue were anesthetized). I saw my doctor and then my ophthalmologist. I took methylprednisone for 5 days, had to wear an eye patch and use eyedrops for almost 6 months until I could close my eyelid again. Resolution took about a year. A few years later I woke up with Bell's but this time paralysis on the left side of my face. Then again years later on the right side again, and then years later on the left side again...each time the symptoms were less. The last time I had it, my new doctor had to do some quick research to find out the treatment.

I went through the same 15 years a go when I was in college. I can imagine how he is going through. It is terrifying. I was told it might take 6 month or more or even permanent. I was taking medication and also facial exercises. When I sleep I have to cover my eye not to get dry. After 3 weeks I was be able to move my face. And slowly everything goes away. Thank god I didn’t experience vertigo or Ear pain. Also no hearing loss. I hope and pray for fast recovery Justin.

My wife just told me something about him having some issue with his face this morning and then I see your video. Well done.
You know, after seeing you with the clip having hair, you’re one of those guys that just looks badass with a shaved head. I’m not saying you looked bad with hair. Please don’t think I’m inferring that. You just look good with the shaved head thing going on. I wished I could do that.
Thanks for a great video, Dr. Gary!

Thanks man
Your comment is so sweet. Dr Linkov has alopecia, which caused his hair loss. He has some interesting videos about it. Have a great day!
I do hope this talented young man recovers completely and uneventfully.
Oh my gosh. It’s Really amazing for me to see this video of you struggling with what I have struggled with. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for explaining. I know someone who did not recover and the one side of their face is dropping. It happened to him during a business trip, I believe. Glad you had a great outcome!
He has this, his wife just had a stroke, two young healthy people…did they get the jab?
Yes, they both got the jab.
Thank you for this!! People need to know what this is!
I too hope Justin makes quick recovery which I’m sure he will. I would have never thought you had Bell’s palsy until you shared your before and after. Amazing recovery and you give hope to many going thru this😇
You are such a kind man.
Wish majority of doctors would have your compassion and humanity.
So informative...and thanks for your kind thoughts to Justin..
covid vaccine is safe .
Thanks for posting such an informative vid. This is something that is positive abt social media - that the word can get out fast re: health stuff.
My 15 year old daughter had Ramsey hunt and it was terrifying. The doctors had never even seen a case of it in our area. She was part of a case study through childrens medical center. After many months of tests, doctors, and many hospital visits, she recovered with no long term facial droop. I hope he heals well.
After how many months did she fully recovered?
I admire you Doc. ❤ what makes you shine is that you empathize and take time to explain. You have maintained a "bedside manner" which is getting harder to find. I hope Justin has a speedy recovery 🙏

Wow-I’d never seen a clip of you with hair and while it does look great, I much prefer the way you look without it. I can’t explain why but it just really suits you and enhances your appearance in my eyes. Excellent info as well, this was on my mind to research today since reading about it and now I have all the info I wanted, thanks!
It’s a clean non- hairy look!👏💗😍
😊 Same.
I wish we could clone you so we could all have you as our own doctor. I love watching your episodes. I always learn something. This episode was especially informative. Thank you for being so open about your personal challenges. As one of your other viewers said, I much prefer your current appearance. You have lovely features and they stand out much better without the distraction of hair. Thanks for all you do!
Another great video! Thank you so much for the insights!
I was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome in September 2019. My dad had a very bad stroke around that time and it seems the stress I was going through with that and ongoing personal issues concerning my sons- was most likely what caused it to resurface. I had bad blisters on the right side of my face, ear, and scalp. The site where I had these blisters still caused me to feel a permanent burning/numb feeling, even to this day. It is a painful thing to go through. I was sick- [really sick] for months because of this illness. I hope he will get better.
🙏 ❤
@@tjp2109 Thank you very much. May you, too- be blessed.
God bless you, 🙌, happy for your recovery too and sad you've been through so much.
covid vaccine is safe . he got what he deserves
Thank you for such a good explanation of both Bell’s palsy syndrome and Ramsey hunt syndrome. You seem like a very caring doctor. Glad you recovered from your Bells palsy syndrome.
Excellent comprehensive overview of Ramsay Hunt. I had this 5 years ago shortly after starting a consultant job as a neuro-ophthalmologist. I had extreme stress at the time. In my case I started with geniculate neuralgia (really awful) and 2-3 days later the pinna became a bit red and swollen, then the vesicles appeared in the half of my palate. I ran for the acyclovir and prednisolone and no facial palsy or hearing loss happened thankfully. I feel like I dodged a bullet. I had to convince my GP to see me urgently for the prescriptions who wasn’t familiar with this and felt I was over diagnosing. Ironically, I am very familiar with headaches management and this is part of practice on a daily basis, so at that point I felt it was either Ramsay Hunt or idiopathic geniculate neuralgia. Luckily the vesicles were unmistakable. I am sure many people are diagnosed late, as this is relatively obscure still for the standard family doctor- at least in the UK. I admire how you have carried the relative set backs of alopecia universalis in terms of private practice with plastics patients/ hair transplants, normalised it and educated the public about it.
i’m glad to hear you included acupuncture as part of your recovery! 💖
Very informative video, thank you. Wishing Justin the speediest and best recovery 💙
How scary for Justin - and for you! I had a rapid onset of Guillain-Barré Syndrome years ago, and the sudden paralysis scared the crap out of me! I’m glad you recovered. Hopefully, Justin will as well.
I had Bells Palsy and total facial paralysis on my left side about 5 years ago and the pain was unbearable! Although I was treated straight away it still took about 6 months to regain full functionality again but my face never fully went back to the way it was and has never been symmetrical since. Also the nerves in my face re-wired themselves in weird ways after I recovered so now my left eye twitches when I eat and I quite often get strange twitches in my left cheek and my left eye still doesn't 100% close properly and got damaged which affects my vision. I feel for anyone else going through any kind of facial paralysis as you never know if you'll fully recover or if you will have permanent damage.
I never knew Bell’s Palsy was painful. I’m so sorry for all you’ve been through. Wishing you the best.
I have the same issues post the meds. It’s like you look fine to someone eyes but when I’m looking to the mirror at myself I always feel like my face is not the same anymore. And it’s like an obsession I cannot control my left eye on the mirror everyday
Exactly the same as you!!
Get well soon buddy !!! You are so strong.🤍
I had one friend who was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy and several years later developed MS. Another friend developed ocular Herpes and had vesicles that also extended over her scalp and into her eye. The pain was intense. I have had multiple bouts of shingles on my chest and hand and can’t imagine what it is like in your eye, scalp and ear. I had 2 different friends who had trigeminal neuralgia and those symptoms can be almost unbearable. The paralysis has to be a concern especially for a singer.
A I started taking the medication I bought from Dr odija channel on TH-cam and surprisingly it was working gradually and in 9days everything changed . I am really happy that you cured me naturally and I pray that God strengthens you Dr odija
Dr Linkov You are extremely informative at explaining the medical information for each person's situation; and, an excellent speaker.
If a pacient doesn’t recover 100%, is there any facial procedures you can make to help with the assimetry? btw, great video as always :)
I also had a terrible case of ramsay hunt 12 yrs ago as a cancer patient so I was really immunocompromised. My face has not fully recovered and I completely lost hearing in my right ear. Hoping better outcomes for jb!
I had Bell’s palsy 47 years ago. It didn’t completely go away. It has truly affected my life.
Can’t smile normally therefore no pictures.
You are a blessing to this world. You are the most humble plastic surgeon and kindest individual to provide educational information.
I rarely get to the end of a clinical presentation but this was clear and interesting!
part of how I knew I had covid (which they literally called 'viral pneumonia or something' at the ER 🙄 towards the end of 2019 was.. not long after, ending up with Bell's palsy.. granted Bell's is a differential diagnosis (as you know). I mentioned they should look into ramsay-hunt but they didn't really bother, I'm just fortunate they didn't question me when I said I needed more prednisone which was at least three more times.
The worst part about it was I had some prednisone at home when I woke up from a nap to my face slowly not working but couldn't find it...and could tell by looking at my forehead it wasn't a stroke....anyway, ended up being OVER 48 hours before I was able to get prednisone in my system and it was six months for it to get back (essentially) to normal... a LOT of people are getting or have gotten this in the past few years (just speaking of those I've known personally..which is absurd)
Anyway, great video as always!
@@Lousy-Truth in the US..! I've met a lot of people (through work, friends, etc) same deal.. then had it again (delta in late 21, lol.. but not Bell's Palay at least..! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 the post-covid stuff is the worst... a lot of it mimicking Lyme Diseasd, types of leukemia, Lupus, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, etc.. a LOT of women I've met ended up losing some totally of their hair months afterwards.. even asymptomatic cases (i.e. getting a test every month or something to be precautions, this that's the only way they knew.)
They really need to be spreading g the word on how to help those that just aren't cognitively the same or any of the aforementioned.. 🤦♂️🤷♂️
Anyway, thank you and stay safe! 😊
@@Lousy-Truth yes that’s why it’s called Covid-19. My theory of why NYC had so many cases is that millions of people from the world over were crammed into Times Square on New Year’s Eve, possibly many carriers who thought maybe they had a cold. It was a perfect storm for transmitting the disease that we didn’t yet know about.
I'm glad he caught it early - at least I hope he did. Hopefully he makes a full recovery. My cousin passed from chicken pox back in 1994. Or complications from it. I hope Justin's case is not as severe obviously.
Nothing to do with the magic juice many people took over the last year or two?
Shingles? Recent vax status?
I got this after my 2nd cvid 19 vaccine. I am still recovering over a year later.
Which vaccine if you don’t mind ?
I had a teacher friend that had the facial palsey. Her face was never the same. Hers was from Bells palsey. I have MS and know the struggle with autoimmune disease. Prayers for Justin.
Try Vitamin E!
My aunt had this at age 13. She didn't recover enough to have full use of her mouth. They removed a few nerves from her thigh and put them in key places in her face. They did shock therapy for those nerves to help her face start to have control over that side again.
You're a strong guy Dr. Gary.
Thank you!
My uncle and mom both got Bell’s palsy immediately after getting their COVID vaccine. Uncle was a quick recovery but my mom still struggles with it to this day
Wow...that's so unfortunate. I didn't know this was a possible side effect
It's always good to learn something new. I was not aware of the seriousness of this ailment. Thank you much for the medical lesson.
Thank you for the definition, doctor!
Thanks Doctor, doesn't hurt to expand knowledge and keep learning.
His wife had a stroke 4 months ago, I hope is not related to jabbers
Probably
Thank you Doctor for the explanation
The herbal meds from Dr Edozele on TH-cam is the real and permanent cure for herpes virus. Many are cured today through his herbal supplements..
Thank you for that explanation. I love Justin. He gets on social media and tells everyone what’s going on with him. Who ever thought it would be so serious. Prayers to Justin that he is able to cope and stay patient as possible and follow Doctors orders. Thanks again for that information. 🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕
Dr Gary I can tell you’re very good person in real life and a handsome one too. Thank you for always informative and good video’s⭐️⭐️⭐️
