Facial paralysis treatment

During winter, I suddenly experienced facial paralysis on the right side of my face, so I received treatment by combining neurology and traditional Korean medicine clinics.

As soon as the facial paralysis occurred, I went to neurology for an examination, and the graph showed that the right nerve was dead, which made me feel really heavy-hearted.

The treatment was started immediately, and the first step was administering IV fluids.

They say this IV fluid is important, but they only let me have it twice.

Next is ultrasound therapy.

In one hand, I am holding something thin like metal, and the physical therapist is giving a massage with a machine, while music plays during the treatment.

I had to take a picture, so I had no choice but to keep my eyes open and take it😁

After this ultrasound therapy, it's like an electric shock wave, and electricity tingles and flows.

After this treatment is finished, the director will personally place the electroacupuncture needles. The needles are inserted into the face, and electricity is applied. It feels prickly and tingling, right?

I received neurological treatment, took herbal medicine prescribed at the Korean medicine clinic, and also received acupuncture, all for nearly two months.

The neurology department director says that even if others see it as normal, the discomfort only the patient feels can last for a year, and complete recovery may not be possible, with the possibility of recurrence, so they advise to take good care of your health.

Thinking about that time was terrible, but five months have already passed.

Even now, when I occasionally feel my face becoming numb, I look in the mirror and make leaf-shaped gestures.

Ah~~~, I realize my mouth corners are lifting as I~~~.
