Abstract
- Bell's palsy is a relatively rare neurologic disorder with a limited selection of helpful therapies. This case report describes the author's initial three-month experience living with severe Bell's palsy, including a detailed history and timeline of the initial development of symptoms, treatments pursued, and psychological stress during the disease progression. A particular focus is placed on the emotional burden Bell's palsy can have, exploring possible avenues to improve physician to patient education on mental health and well-being during initial and delayed recovery.<br />Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.<br /> (Copyright © 2021, Cole et al.)
