I woke up to it and thought I'd had a stroke. The entire right side of my face was dead. My lips and eye lid drooped downward, the nerves and muscles didn't work anymore. It was "unnerving" and took over four months before movement started to come back.

Be sure to keep your eye moist at night and use a straw to drink with.

It's been 9 years and I'd say 97% of my face movement came back after that four months had past, but my cheek is still numb under my eye and my smile isn't symmetrical.

It was pretty tough 4 months, working, eating, talking, etc.

My best friends called me "Harvey Dent" or "Half Face", because you can always count on your friends in times like this!

Good Luck, this too shall pass.

OK, I'm old but I'll jump on the bandwagon. Yes, your still an attractive woman.
