Symptom narrative

Within 24 hours after getting the COVID vaccine I experienced tingling in my lips and tongue. Then the left side of my face quit moving. I went to my primary care facility and was diagnosed with Bells Palsy and started the anti viral medication. Over the next month I was seen again by my primary and also with ENT and my eye doctor. All monitored the progress of my Bells Palsy. I continue today (10/31/2025) with facial paralysis from this event along with pain. I have to see a specialist and physical therapy.

Lab data

I was sent to the ER 03/15/2025 who confirmed bell's palsy and to continue with treatment from my primary doctor. I was also sent to an ENT who still continues to monitor my progress today. I was considered "healed" because my eye will close but still have facial paralysis.
