I was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy today (Mon 11/02/08) I first had symptoms on Saturday. I have read on various websites including the BP official website that the average length of symptoms is 2-4months. That would mean I MIGHT be back to normal by May or June...which seems soooooo far away.

At the moment I have no pain, I just look very strange when I smile! 8-?

BUT the symptoms are supposed to get more serious over the first 2 weeks! *gulp*

My biggest worry is that I crap out on the odds and am the 1 out of ten that doesnt make such a "fast" recovery!! I have read posts on forums from people that are still suffering a year and even 2(!!) years on.
