Stay Positive: 9-1-03

The biggest problem the first time you get Bells is staying positive. Really, the Doctors tell you to take the meds and wait for it to get better. There is nothing else they can do, period.

That kind of news can make anyone depressed especially if you are a good looking man or woman. I gotten emails from many people who rely on their looks for a one reason or another and they are devastated. The good news it should be temporary, in my case it was the first time.

The second time you get Bells is a different story. The Doctor told me the same thing to take the meds and wait. This time it didn't come back right away in fact it has taken me over a year to regain 85% but staying positive has helped tremendously.

Workout, take care of yourself, eat right and work on your mental health. I've been going to acupuncture and my one hour a day twice a week has helped me relax and put Bells into perspective.

In my case, my recovery has pretty much run it's course. I'm not considering surgery so 85% is my 100%. You on the other hand can reach 100% in three months or so!

You will get better, time will heal the nerves in your face. Believe it, will it to happened.

Now don't get me wrong I am practicing what I preach, I still drink green tea, take my B12, massage my face and believe.

Take care and get Well
