🔍 Bell's Palsy and stroke are two conditions that can cause facial paralysis. While they share some similarities, they have distinct differences in their symptoms and causes. Understanding the differences can help you seek the appropriate medical attention. 🤔 Bell's Palsy is a temporary paralysis of the facial muscles that can occur suddenly. It is caused by inflammation of the facial nerve, which controls the muscles on one side of the face. Symptoms include drooping of the mouth, inability to close the eye, and drooping of the eyelid. 🧐 Stroke, on the other hand, is a medical emergency that occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted. Facial paralysis is one of the many symptoms of a stroke, along with weakness or numbness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, and vision problems. Quick action is crucial to minimize the damage caused by a stroke.1. Understanding Bell's Palsy: Causes and SymptomsBell's Palsy is a condition that affects the facial muscles and nerves. It is caused by inflammation or damage to the facial nerve, which controls facial muscles. Symptoms include sudden weakness or paralysis on one side of the face, drooping of the mouth, and difficulty closing the eye on the affected side. Other symptoms may include drooling, dry eye, loss of taste, and sensitivity to sound. The exact cause of Bell's Palsy is unknown, but it is believed to be related to viral infections, such as herpes simplex or the flu. Other risk factors include pregnancy, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Treatment may include medication, physical therapy, and surgery in severe cases. Early treatment is important to prevent permanent muscle damage and improve recovery time. 👍🏼2. Recognizing the Signs of a Stroke: What to Look ForRecognizing the signs of a stroke is crucial for timely treatment.

Stay informed and spread the word about stroke awareness. 🧠💡3. How to Differentiate Between Bell's Palsy and Stroke SymptomsFacial paralysis can be a symptom of both Bell's Palsy and Stroke, but there are some key differences to look out for: Bell's Palsy usually affects one side of the face, while a stroke can affect both.

It's important to seek medical attention immediately if you experience any of these symptoms: Sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the face or body Difficulty speaking or understanding speech Loss of vision in one or both eyes Severe headache with no known cause Doctors may use imaging tests, such as an MRI or CT scan, to determine the cause of facial paralysis.

We had some portfolio/headshots done of Tatum! Finding things to do post cancer that she’s able/capable/wants to do has been hard. Her body is limited not just in mobility but also strength and stamina and its been hard for her to realize the things she did before she can’t now. We sat down a while back and talked about things she could do and she mentioned modeling. She loved when she was a clothing rep during treatment so if that is what she wants to try we are going to help her do that.💜 She’s been picked up by a modeling agency that works with people with disabilities and visual differences! We went to @shevyvisionportraits in Norman and Shevaun did such an fantastic job and was so amazing with Tatum. Here’s to hoping this leads to big stuff for T! #tatumstribe #tatumjune #stillasasspants #shestinybutsassy #braincancersurvivor #childhoodcancersurvivor #facialparalysis https://www.instagram.com/p/CPBpTdagO68/?utm_medium=tumblr

Everypne loved this picture of me last year, except me! Before strokes my face was symmetrical. After my 5 strokes, MY face was only half of MY face. The drooping (facial paralysis) was a hard pill to swallow. The healing process after my 3rd stroke was more than physical it was & is mental. Havin Bipolar 1 doesn't help. I still don't feel completely comfortable with my face but as you see I refuse to hide. This is something I can't change. Over time my facial paralysis has gotten better. Like the partial paralysis in my hand & leg. This is me & I'm learnin to love all of me. It's been it's been 2 years since my last stroke & my facial paralysis is 40% gone. I am on a treatment plan for my bipolar1 disorder. Yep a self taught #mua with paralysis in her hand & face!

Goooood Morning to anyone who sees this 🙃

Just wanted to take a quick minute to introduce myself before posting like crazy.

I’m currently in my late 20s. From the time I was 19-24 I have upwards of 15 separate surgeries, all as a result from improving deficits that were caused from having the tumor removed in the first place.

It also may be important to add that I went to school full time, in person, and earned my bachelors & masters degrees, while also working as well.

Was a very hectic time, but the only option we have is to make the best out of the hand we’ve been dealt.

Post more later today, I have been working on this since around 2018. I’m also a pretty amateur writer & have had a few short stories published in the past.

Want to share that I’ve had multiple tumblr accounts over the years as well!

Also - both Cassie & Sydney Sweeney are my spirit animals

Bell's Palsy and Facial Paralysis ⬇️

Bell’s Palsy is a form of temporary facial paralysis that results from injury or damage to one of the facial nerves and can cause significant facial distortion. Among the most complex nerves in our body, the facial nerve is central to our ability to manipulate our expression in countless ways, adding layers of emotion to the way we communicate. When there is nerve damage, facial weakness occurs.

Fascia Lata Facial Reanimation Surgery This young man has had left-sided facial palsy for many years now. Onset had been gradual and insidious. Unable to smile or raise his forehead, he had learnt to lead a lifestyle that did not incorporate these expressions. He finally decided to get this surgically address at our hospital A dynamic facial reanimation surgery was performed to reanimate his face. Under general anesthesia, a strip of fascia lata was first harvested from his thigh region. One end of this was attached to the lower end of the temporalis muscle and the other end to the corner of his mouth. He was extremely happy to have an expressive face again. He could not stop smiling at everyone at the hospital who was involved in his care. #facialparalysis #facialpalsy #balajidental #smbalaji #drsmbalaji #maxillofacialsurgery #maxillofacial #maxillofacialsurgeon (at Balaji Dental and Craniofacial Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_O8JTYhLrE/?igshid=2acz3ykecryk

Truth is I have never really felt comfortable in my skin. And Last year when I had a T.I.A and Bell's palsy it took everything in me not to break. But I thank God for @bebo92091, @votanoindustries420 , my kids- @justca1lm3jam & best friends who were a tremendous help in my recovery. I appreciate everything 🙌🏼.
