Do you have Bell's Palsy? This is some information, but you can look it up. Yes. Approximately 50% of Bell’s palsy patients will have complete recoveries in a short time. Another 35% of the patients will see a good recovery in less than a year. If the nerve has suffered only a mild trauma, recovery can be very fast. The “average” recovery time is two weeks to a few months. Improvements of the appearance can continue beyond the “average” time frame.  (+ info)

how or where can i get something to treat facial paralysis?

---

a niece of mine has facial paralysis and is being treated at a doctors and it it is to expensive to keep going to the doctors. so is there a medical supplie store or somewhere i can buy this pen looking thing that gives electrical shocks.
Assuming that your niece has bell's palsy which is the most common cause of facial paralysis I will give you an advise: the purpose of the electric stimulator is to trigger a natural reflex response on the facial muscles to avoid muscle atrophy (muscle wasting for lack of use) this can also be accomplished by applying a circular motion deep massage over the face at the affected area, do not forget to apply artificial tears eye drops and close her eyelid at night with some tape so her eye does not dry, it can take up to 2 months to fully recover and some people will never fully recover, just keep trying, good luck.  (+ info)

Facial paralysis can be caused by a number of things. Stroke, viral infection of the facial nerve, and other impairments of the facial nerve are some of the common causes.

If you have facial paralysis from lyme disease, is it permanent?

---

okay so i have this friend and she has lyme disease. and part of her face, like the mouth area, is paralyzed. she can talk, but she's kind of lispy and she cant smile. i was just wondering if that was permanent. but i didn't want to ask her because i didn't want to offend her in anyway. so yeah, anyone know?
Usually, the facial paralysis resolves with appropriate Lyme treatment. However, one person I know who had Bell's Palsy (that's what it's called) still had droopy eyelids and other remnants of the paralysis even after the rest of her Lyme symptoms went away. She then went for acupuncture treatments, which helped her face return to normal.
