New mom has Bells Palsy after childbirth, a very rare condition. She is unable to blink or close her eye. Her mouth droops down making it very hard to eat. When she smiles or laughs, this is totally lopsided. She cannot raise eye brow. She has been put on quite a heavy dose of steroids and antibiotics with no good help. After about 2 months acupuncture, she recovered 80%. With continued month work, 90% has been achieved with her eye brow can raise symmetrically. Now there is still some facial weakness in the corner of lip and nose side.
