I got Bell's Palsy when I be 17. I just feel funny one day at work looked within the mirror and noticed one partly of my face didn't work. It's not death-defying, just mortifying. I didn't want to smile or eat surrounded by front of other people. The most annoying part of the pack was the dry eye, I have to use liquid tears adjectives of the time because blinking didn't work, and my eyelid stayed mostly open as I slept. The doctors give me some really nasty steroids to cure it, I took them once and couldn't pilfer them again, they made me so ill. I happily recovered in something like a month with no traceable side effects.
On a side note Bell's Palsy is nickname the truckers disease because doctors frequently have truckers who enjoy it on the left side of their facade. Perhaps it has something to do near driving with the window down. At 17 I was mostly a passenger thus my right side be affected. Just something to assume about.

Both recovered fully, the older one took 3 - 4 months the younger be 1 1/2 months. Neither had it again since.
