all i can say is that she's really strong despite facing all the setbacks, she still looks as pretty as ever 💜
She is beautiful! The way she glows is inspiring
It’s been 2 years and I have not recovered fully. But i have always kept my positivity with me because if I don’t stay strong then who will? I think my condition affected my family a lot as well. And I 100% agree that once Bell’s palsy hit, you appreciate your smile a lot more and you finally realise it WAS good enough. Just shows how much we beat ourselves up everyday
I got it twice in 2 years, the 2nd time while I was pregnant and i had to eat steroids while pregnant, I’m glad I recovered and baby turned out fine...never take your health for granted 🙏🏻
I had the same thing a couple of years back out of nowhere... half of my face was paralyzed. I have fully recovered since. I am thankful that it was bells instead of stroke
“it’s pretty miraculous to know that healing is just inbuilt in you” 🥺 that’s how i felt too about a sudden thyroid issue thats surfaced suddenly.. trusting that the season will change too 🥺 you’re so strong Joanne!! your smile is so beautiful now hehe
she has one of the most beautiful smiles i’ve ever seen💗 thank you for being such an inspiration! :)
This happened to me a few years ago!!! I also thought I had a stroke! I lived like that for 3 months. Couldn't close my eye, speak properly or eat. I was afraid I would be like that forever. I started with acupuncture on my face and after 2 months sessions I improved. That was not a good time of my life. So altogether I had bells palsy for 6 months.
My dad had this in 2019 too & lucky he was discovered earlier. He recovered 98% as someone whom is in his 60s..:)
Her faith & optimistic outlook of life is such a beautiful testimony of the goodness of God in her life :)))
Thank you for sharing. Can see you are a beautiful person, both inside and out
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your story to help raise awareness on this medical condition 👏

🌹💐 Thank you for being so sweet and inspiring. :)
Beautiful smile, even more beautiful spirit! Thanks for sharing :)
A beautiful and strong lady!!
Such a strong and beautiful woman, inside and out❤️
I kana before I was working and my manager ask what’s wrong with my face one side was droopy and they ask me go see doctor straight away. I thought shit I got stroke then the doc told me I had this Bell’s palsy. I recovered and I’m ok now. The thing that scares me I thought I’m dead I’ve got stroke!
How did you manage to recover from it?
You are beautiful the way God created you!
i watched twice of your video..i had numbness frm waist down for over a year now...life goes on..feeling much more Happier than before but of course lost some freedom to roam around my fav spots in singapore.At least you have the Freedom to Walk..
glad to know that you hv recovered from this tough period. i was also diagnosed with the same few yrs back, went to a&e thinking i had a stroke too. turns out i digged my ear too deep while cleaning it til it hit a nerve. lol
That is scary. Did the symptoms start immediately after digging your ears? How long did it take you to recover?
And how much did it cost to recover?
@@CyberMew About $150-250 total. Had a follow up in 1 month with the ophthalmologist to check for any issue with my eye that couldn’t close. I was only prescribe oral steroids and some topical eye drops.
@@Alice12578 After 1-2 days my symptoms showed. Thankfully for me i recovered in 2 months after doing some facial exercise i followed on the net religiously.
great smile
i had this when i was 12... i woke up brushed my teeth and couldn’t even gurgle water in my mouth i as a kid i didn’t know what it was. went to sch and couldn’t laugh /smile properly and my friends all laughed at me at how weird & funny i looked & i thought i was normal so i laughed with them. i was then admitted to the hospital at night came home with an eye patch cause my eyes couldn’t even close properly and had to wear this for a long time even when i sleep. it was a very tough and scary time, i’m 20 now and the doctors always say that there’s a chance that it might come back again...
She is beautiful.. ❤️❤️
Wow-
Brautiful smile♥️♥️♥️
She talks like a system 🔐 analyst. 😎😎. Good girl chil
Omg!! I had that 2 years ago, I went to get my eyebrows tattoo, n felt a sharp pain on my left temper for 2 straight days , I asked my daughter if she hv the same painful experience cos she went to the same eyebrows artist . She doesn’t hv that issue by the way. Long story short, I hv diabetes n high blood pressure n didn’t know with conditions like mine, I shouldn’t get any kind of tattoo done , my doctor says that the browns tattoo artist must hv hit a nerve n it short circuit n I end up looking like a Frankenstein;( initially I thou I was having a stroke cos half of my left face just fell, I couldn’t close my eyes n tears kept watering down for no good reason . Food will drop out of my mouth like I hv no control of my facial muscle. Went to see a GP n he sent me straight to Changi hospital . Unfortunately a young intern male doctor was doing a diagnosis on me n he immediately told me it’s a sex disease which is super weird ;( I was really angry cos there is no way in hell that is what this is all about , after demanding another doctor to consult n she almost immediately recognise that it’s balls palsy. Prescribe me one pill of steroid n I was back to normal in less then a week, although my eyes still twitch a little every now n then but I m looking like a normal person now;) we definitely need to know about this cos it strikes u out of the blue n it can’t be really scary.
Was herpes the ‘sex disease’ the initial doctor mentioned?
To b honest , hmmm that doctor is just an intern , he don’t even know what he is talking about n he didn’t mentioned what type but u can tell he hv a lousy day n trying to b funny by talking nonsense ;( my nerve issue is the cause of my face being like that
Well i think u can say that she is '' facing''problems :)
