I have had bell palsy since 1987 I was 8 months pregnant the doctors told me that after i had my baby it would go away my baby is now 22 years old and I still have it. My face don't droop has much has it did at first and I can get my left eye shut tight if I scrunch up my face. My eye waters alot they say it's because it's dry. I am 50 now and because of age my face is really starting to droop I am considering a face lift. I notice after got bells that can't pronounce words like I use to does anyone else have that problem?
