Facial Palsy Awareness Week: Day 1

Why and when I developed facial palsy:
I was 17 and hadn't felt great all day. Towards the end of the day I found my boss staring at me aghast. The left side of my face had dropped. Everyone thought I was having a stroke. It was Bell's Palsy. I was promised it would be gone in a matter of weeks. It wasn't.
It happened again when I was 21. Again I was told it would go. It didn't.
When I was 27 I had a third episode. This time there were no reassurances it'd get better, confusion about why it hadn't gone previously and concern that it had happened again. I had a million tests and scans but nobody could find an explanation.
Me, pre-facial palsy
