Bell's Palsey

Minai's recent post elicited me to submit this info (Minai has MSi [1], is treating for CPNi [2] and stated she had Bell's Palsy at one time). My mother had Bell Palsey when I was about 12. Most of our weekends were spent in activities like fishing, picnics or mushroom hunting... all outdoor or in the woods.

I just recently discovered the state I grew up in is ranked 16th in the nation for Lyme disease. I still sometimes question if I have lyme even though my test (it wasn't a Western IG Blot) was negative.

Someone on this cite took their daughter to this doctor -- (Dr. Virginia Sherr). I researched her as she is located near my city.

Addendum: this doctor is a psychiatrist, not an MD.......but she herself had Lyme for many years before it was diagnosed... she knows the frustrations we go through!

Eek, thanks Louise... I knew that! (psychiatrists treat mental issues and have the MD license to prescribe meds... and psychologists do not).

I was just wanted to be sure that no one thought she was an MD to go to for CPNi [2]....(hmm.... at least I don't believe so!)

I have not been tested for lymes. when I was 21 (and just started pediatric nursing which involved taking care of cystic fibrosis patients), in one year I had strep throat, bells palsy, and somekind of virus where I got ulcers all in my mouth. I have always felt that I contracted CPNi [2] with one of these. probably where i got my ebvi [5] and cmv, and mycoplasma pneumoniae also.

Bell's Palsy can be caused by a number of things, not just lyme disease:

I had it for a couple of weeks when I was still relapsing remitting and it took several months before the droop on one side of my face completely went. In multiple sclerosis it is caused by a lesion in the pons area of the brainstem, leading to the seventh cranial nerve damage.............Sarah
