Mine journey of bell's palsy

                   Mine journey of bell's palsy

Vacation especially in the medical field is like a dream and dashain vacation is bunch of happiness and full of good vibes.

Day 1(Hetauda)
I including my mates were counting days for vacation to come each day,finally 1st internal assessment was finished and our vacation was going to begin. All were singing and sharing the good wishes among each other but still we had two period left,medical surgical and child health nursing for 1,1 hour. Then suddenly I felt the sharp shooting pain behind my ear and it continued .Although I attended my classes with a hope of just a minor headache and will be fine. I came home,pain continued and I was not even able to sleep for whole night. 
Day 2
Next day mom massaged my head including the whole body with oil but the pain was not taking the name of getting  rid of my head. 
Day 3 (Bara)
Next day pain was vanished not totally but little compared to the day before that day so,I travelled to my home by bus with full of plans about vacations though. Now the pain was for the specific period such as at evening and a little bit while i was ready to sleep and until i get totally slept.
Day 4
I noticed when i was brushing my teeth in the morning that the water was skipping from my mouth.I was not able to close my one of the eye but i was totally unknown about the fact and mine thought at that time was my right eye gets close more than it should be😅 i felt such way ...same afternoon i noticed my face (especially lips) had  partial movement,I was shocked ;closed my eyes suddenly remembered the loss of sensation of taste and the reason of that was, i was complaining about the food since somedays onwards regarding the taste of salt,sugar in tea and taste of chocolates,difficulty in chewing the food as it collects between the teeth and lips,forhead is unfurrowed.
I then realized that certainly the paralysis of left side of my face and showed the signs to my family members they were shocked more than me.🙂 I can totally saw the worries in my fathers eyes as he is very emotional or perhaps my mom is emotionally stronger than my daddy😃
Day 4
The very next day went to CMC and met the neurologist Dr.Ajit shrestha in OPD  after asking for mine sign and symptoms, he diagnosed me with "left bell's palsy" boom🔥and explained very well to my brother about the causes,further consequences,treatment modalities and recovery including medicines,physiotherapy etc
I noticed my brother was shocked a bit when Dr. told paralysis then after when Dr. further added this will be fine and will not be affecting the others body parts;he explained so well about the 12 pairs of cranial nerves and in my case it was 7th i.e. facial nerve. Then my brother relaxed a bit ..Now here, let me add something about bells palsy as it makes u a little clear on it😊.

Bells palsy is actually the paralysis or weakness of 7th cranial nerve that controls the facial muscles on the side of the face .Now you must be thinking,why bells palsy?😁 It actually named after the Charles Bell,who was well known for his studies on nervous system and the brain. He was the first person to discover that lesions on the 7th cranial nerve which caused facial paralysis in the 19th century. Bells palsy also termed as idiopathic facial paralysis(IFP) because its exact cause is still unknown and gradually resolves over time.

I managed myself  through that situation because I already have consoled myself the very first day when I recognized my symptoms. I would also say that the novel "priya suphee"of subin Bhattarai  had helped me a lot emotionally going through this because i had read that book before being diagnosed.
I did physiotherapy(electrical stimulations,facial exercises)took prescribed medicines Tab.Gebapentine 100mg for 2weeks, Tab.Deflazacort 6mg 2weeks with minimizing dosages.
I really had a plans for my vacation including mine studies,my vacation homeworks, funs,presentations and all, and the turning point is what i do now everything is so strange :)


At last what i would like to say is,everything happens for a reason and  it make us even stronger than before and better than yesterday learn to deal with the situation. Never say "why me",say "try me!" whenever you face any obstacle in your life , so did I .
What i came to know is,experiences are what that makes us better each day.
The things that really matter is the level of your confidence,your inner peace with beautiful heart and the humanity ❤️
I am all fine now. It was in year 2075, Ashwin  and took nearly about 2months to resolve completely. Just felt like sharing an experience with you guys and that's all.
#Blessedwiththeexperience❤️
