My daughter seems to have fully recovered from her Bell's Palsy, but one thing no one thought about was her eye sight. I have no idea whether or not it's related but she went from having perfect eye sight to being severly nearsighted in one eye. It happens to be the eye that was on the side of her face affected by the Bell's Palsy. I guess it was about a month after she had recovered when she started complaining about not being able to see the chalk board at school. Because it hadn't been that long since she had been tested, I somewhat dismissed it.:eek: So much for being a good mom! I feel awful--can't tell you how bad I feel. Now, I'm left wondering if it was the Bell's Palsy that did it.
My father is considered "legally blind", not the blind like you see all black, but just that nearsighted. At my last visit my dr told me the same thing. I'm not sure what constitutes being legally blind. I often go without my glasses, but can't see well:dizzy: Don't worry---I always wear them to drive.:D So, I'm not sure if it was her "fate", or the Bell's Palsy--but it's left me wondering.
I think it was last week that she felt that the Bell's Palsy was coming back--but I saw no sign of it. If she complains on any neck pain whatsoever, I will be on top of it.:wave:
The Bell's Palsy paralyzes the muscles that control eye movement on the effected side and if the muscles are not fully recoved yet, her eyesight will be effected.
I had BP about 2 years ago. I'd read an article about B12 deficiency causing BP and that the natural form of B12, methyl B12, which is easily absorbed under the tongue, could cure it. I tried it and my BP was gone in 3 days . No kidding ! I've recommended it to others with BP and it worked for them too.
I took a sublingual methyl B12 tab 1000 mcg, with folic acid in it, once a day.
B12 always needs to be balanced with folic acid and B6 to work effectively.
