[Assault trooperPolska]

Heh, i got Bells palsy... its not cool, my left eye is half-open when I sleep, and I basicly look like a retard, or more of with bells palsy than usual ... Its quite interesting, being paralized on one side of your face... makes you wonder about how difficult it would be if you were in a accident, and your spinal cord was all screwed up, and be paralized all over the body... just thinking about it gives me the chills... and this experiance makes me give mad respect to people that are paralized, and still manage to carry on with their lives...

Bell's palsy is a neurological disorder caused by damage to the seventh cranial nerve, also known as the facial nerve, which results in weakness or paralysis on one side of the face. The paralysis causes distortion of facial features and interferes with normal functions, such as closing the eye and eating. The onset of Bell's palsy is usually sudden. Many people wake up in the morning and find that one side of their face is paralyzed. Patients often fear that they have suffered a [url="java script:GoTo("]stroke[/url], but Bell's palsy is not related to stroke. Milder symptoms include tingling around the lips or a dry eye, and usually progress quickly, reaching maximum severity in 48 hours or less.
