Actress Shares Her Journey of Recovering from Bell's Palsy After Sudden Facial Paralysis

Savannah Mares-Sedillo, an actress and model, experienced a sudden and alarming health scare when part of her tongue went numb, followed by a burning sensation in her eyes and facial twitching. Despite these strange symptoms, she pushed through her day and filmed an audition. However, by the end of ... [More info]

I’m very sore today. Just standing & feeding cans into the recycle machine started up my knees, back & shoulder pain. 😖

Back home now. Sat in the car for 20 minutes - undoing my seatbelt didn’t help the shoulder pain.

Pain meds have been taken.

I know my steroids for #BellsPalsy are bad for me in the long run - but I miss them masking all my joint, spinal & shoulder pain. ☹️

More pillows arrived today. 👍

House has been sprayed multiple times daily with Glen 20.

We are both feeling weak but for the second day in a row we’ve tested #Covid negative. 🤞

I’ve completed my #BellsPalsy meds but I’m still having its twitches & having nerve pain behind my ear that feels like a nasty earache & a migraine.

At lunchtime I finished my Amoxycillin meds for a chest infection.

Yes, these days I practically rattle from all the meds I’m on.

Well. I finished my #BellsPalsy meds about the same time my #knee & #back pain returned.

A coincidence? Do #steroids stop #joint & #arthritic #pain?

I know that my Dr said they weakened my #immunesystem, so I guess they might be why I still have #Covid.

#Dinner tonight? Comfort food for my better half - anything with barley or #PotatoGems.
So it’s a weird stew of pork sausages, tomatoes, carrots, peas, gems & barley.

My half of the bowl will definitely include some #WorcestershireSauce

Just before #Covid decided to hit me while I’m busy having #BellsPalsy, I drove into town & noticed a small tent set up beside our town’s playing fields & close to the public toilets.

“A #homeless person?” I thought.

Yup, looks like it. The #tent is still there & now there’s a folding chair outside the tent.

Not the best weather for doing it tough in a tent. #auspol #Gisborne

Necesito encontrar un fisioterapeuta en la ciudad de Valencia (o alrededores) que aplique la terapia de Kabat a la parálisis de Bell.

The weird thing with my current #health - before the #BellsPalsy started & then after I got #Covid - my knees were a constant pain that limited my movement.

Since the combination of Bell’s & Covid my knees haven’t given me any trouble at all.

Maybe the pain is there but is being masked somehow? Very odd.

Well… #Dinner last night. Neither of us ate.

I woke not long ago with a stomach ache though. A good burp seems to have fixed that.

The last of my #Paxlovid #nirmatrelvir #ritonavir has been taken.

My Dr is now on holiday, so I guess I just wait & see what happens with my #Covid.

Still have a few days of #BellsPalsy meds left. My lips have been very active the last few days, doing their #MexicanWave at random times.

More rain inbound. I’ll feed the #alpacas & #sheep before it arrives.

Breakfast today: better half had a sausage roll. Her appetite is back. 👍

I had a bit of garlic bread left over from last night & couldn’t taste a thing. ☹️

I have had tonight’s dinner slow cooking this morning, it smells great, just hope I can taste it this evening.

#CovidSucks & it seems to be making my #BellsPalsy symptoms worse.

I spent about 45 minutes last night with my lips trying to do an Elvis lip curl. Very annoying.

Oh joy!

My #BellsPalsy migraine/earache is back!

Never a dull moment. 😖
