I had nice pleasant sleep. I fell in sleep around 9.00 PM yesterday on couch. Went to bed around 10.00 PM and woke up around 6.00 AM. I was very refreshed. I woke up bit headachy again. There was mild throbbing pain behind ear in the morning.

No improvement in bells palsy condition. As I said, my eating, raising eyebrow and taking ability is almost perfect so, I will not mention it again. If food is really good and I forget about bells palsy and chew on affected area, I do bite myself once in a while. My smile is almost same as yesterday and it's hard to notice improvements day by day. My mouth is behaving same way when I rinse my mouth. My eye blinking ability is still same.

I was feeling great at work. I have been concentrating without thinking about bells palsy and work as a normal employee. I usually get exhausted after dinner and sometime feeling exhausted with no reason. I am not doing any extra physical activities so, getting exhausted is all because of nerve weakness.

It was day off at work. Woke up late in the morning. Woke up bit headachy again. I had a severe throbbing pain behind my ear. Whenever it happened, I have to massage portions my head. It might be because I wasn't resting whole day. I was out shopping in the morning and afternoon.

I have no idea, when did I fell in sleep in late afternoon. I woke up around 6.00 PM but I was still feeling headaches behind ear. I was exhausted throughout evening and night. Watch nice Indian movie and went to bed around midnight.

Woke up late in the evening with very sharp headaches behind ear, severe neck pain and heavy right side of face and head region. There were no noticeable improvements in bells palsy since last couple days. After bath, I felt very good. Headaches were subsided as morning progressed. Neck pain was gone after early morning.

I lay down on sofa and watched Sunday football games. I been resting myself throughout afternoon and I think its been paid off. I was feeling vibrations on right side of facial muscles around lip in afternoon. I have been feeling muscle movements above the right eye socket. My eye is still same and there are no improvements in blinking. May be muscle movements under right side of eyebrow will bring some eye blinking in coming days. Another strange blinking is behind ear on neck. I am not sure what kind of tingling on neck muscles. Will it relieve neck pain? I will know soon.

It's another week at work. Leave early morning to work so, I can come back early home and take rest incase I get exhausted. In Chicago, weather is getting cooler since we are approaching towards fall. It is 70-degree outside, 10-degree cooler than last week. I like cold whether but I am not sure with RHS. I heard that you could feel vertigo as whether gets cold and you feel like you have hang over when you wake up. Chicago is always cooler than other part of country because of its chilly wind. We are expecting tough winter this time. It is truly windy city and I hope winter will be OK for me.

I do feel headachy and neck pain but it subsides as day progress. Yesterday's rest helped me to gain some strength. Yesterday was my last day of prednisone so, I am now only on the Vitamin-B complex. Lets see whether nerve will still start bothering again or not.

As far as bells palsy, there is one little noticeable improvement. I can blink my eye little bit more. I think it's because of muscle movements in eye socket. My face looks much better.

After dinner, I lay down on sofa and started watching Monday night football game. I started feeling twitching on eyelids. This was totally strange and unusual. I had lots of tingling, vibration and muscle movements in past weeks and its not visible from outside. But, these twitching on eyelids are totally visible. Even Rita noticed those eyelid vibrations. I was very happy to feel these twitching because I wasn't able to blink my eye since bells palsy struck me. Since I am in computer profession, I need it back. Eyelid twitching started around 7.30PM evening and it was keep coming back every 5-10 minutes and last for 10-60 seconds. Yes, I am not kidding. Sometime twitches last for nearly minute. I was keep feeling twitching until game ended around 11.30 PM.

I was still feeling twitches when I went to bed. Since I cover my eye with cotton balls and wrapped it with patch. Here is when problem started. Since eyelid twitching was continuing even after I went to bed, eyelid trying to push cotton balls into corona. After half an hour, I woke up and found out that my eye was very painful and red. I shouldn't have to wrap my eye tonight. I wanted to sleep but eye couldn't let me do it. I couldn't sleep again until 2.30 A.M.

Wake up at regular time. I wasn't feeling headachy or any hang over even I couldn't sleep well last night. I still have neck pain. I have noticed my blinking ability is little bit better. As far as any improvements in bells palsy besides eye blinking ability, I can see more wrinkles on my forehead. It's taking some permanent shape as non-affected side.

Another thing I have noticed that my nose, upper lip and ear canal are itchy. I am not sure whether its part of recovery. I can't help myself but scratch it with my finger since dried blisters inside ear are giving me lot of trouble. I cannot concentrate on anything.

At last, eye started giving me trouble around lunchtime because of yesterday's problem. I washed both eyes with eye wash solution from the first Aid Kit at work. Put ointment and leave it open. That helped relieving redness and itchiness rest of afternoon.

At work around late afternoon, I was feeling some constant vibrations on the cheek muscles lower side of lip. That might help my smile getting better in coming days. These are other unusual tingling. It started around 2.00 PM and keep coming back every 5-10 minutes and last for 5-10 seconds until 4.00 PM.

Came back home and watched Indian movie for 3 hours. After I get home, normally I try to watch movie or football/baseball game so; I can lie down on sofa for longer period of time and rest myself until I go to bed.

At bedtime, my wife and me noticed some more improvement in bells palsy. I am able to close my eye fully. I think yesterday's eyelid vibration is finally paid off. Since I can close my eye fully, I just put ointment in eye and sleep without any patch.

Wake up little early. There was throbbing pain when I woke up. I neck pain is very much same. I was feeling much better and I can see my eye is getting better too. I noticed that I could blink little more. I think my next recovery goal is to get eye blinking back as usual.

Another strange thing I found out throughout on my face. There are very small acnes on my face. It's not only on face but all over head too. It's not itchy but very painful. My guess is it might be one more side effect of prednisone.

About bells palsy, I can notice that I can rinse my mouth almost 75% better and I can hold water in the mouth. Same thing, I can pluck my lips together and it doesn't look bad. I believe its because of yesterday's constant tingling and vibration on cheek muscles.

As I said earlier, my eating, drinking, speaking, raising eyebrows is almost perfect. There is still some room for improvement but its not visible from outside. No bitter taste in mouth and I can taste almost every food perfect. There is no facial swelling and my affected side facial muscles are responding well when I move non-affected side. Sneezing and sniffing ability is almost perfect. As far as smile and grimace look, I believe its 80-85% recovered. There is still throbbing pain behind ear and neck ache in the morning when I wake up but it goes away as morning progressed. I am still very sensitive to light. Good thing was I never loose my hearing ability. I won't say I am still very sensitive to noise but if its really loud then it is still unbearable. I do feel vertigo sometimes when I sniff or do some excessive physical activities.

I don't remember BP all the time except when I look into mirror and do eye care. Once I get eye blinking back, I will be pretty much normal and start wearing contact lenses again. I do wash my eye twice a day with eye solution to keep it healthy. I am still doing facial exercises twice a day. Around 10.00 A.M., I had lots of twitches on eyelid for an hour. It was pretty much same as day before yesterday, which are more frequent last for 5-10 seconds each time.

This is first time in last couple weeks, I felt good after dinner. I wasn't exhausted and work on computer without resting my head on couch. I know its not good idea since RHS can strike back but it was pleasant change in my personality.

Wow! I am sleeping well. I went to bed around 10.00 PM yesterday and woke up at 7.30 this morning without any midnight restroom calls. Once again, woke up bit headachy. I have always headache and neck ache when I wake up in morning and goes away after I take bath or driving to work.

I have noticed my pucker lips ability is getting better. I am able to keep compress lips together and my mouth not pulling up and outward towards non-affected area. I can blow my mouth without any loosing air. Same thing, I can rinse my mouth without loosing water. Even there were lots of twitches on eyelid; I haven't seen any noticeable improvement in blinking. I think I am one of unlucky one whose eye will recover last. It's really hard to take care of eye. You have to make sure you keep enough moisture in eye and its not itchy.

I am eating at least three serving of fruits like apple, banana, watermelon, cantaloupe, oranges and grapes to boost my immune system. I am also taking Vitamin B Complex and I will keep taking it for next couple months to speed up complete recovery.

Around 10.00 A.M., I had lots of twitching and tingling on cheek muscles around lips. These twitches are very frequent and continue until 12.00-12.30 PM. Whenever I feel twitches, it last for 10-20 seconds. Around 1.00 PM, I had lots of tingling and muscle movement on center of forehead, right above nose. This was again occurs frequently every 2-3 minutes, last for 5-10 seconds and continue until 2.00 -2.30 PM. These twitches were weird. It was more like throbbing movement like bubbles. Muscle movements on forehead spreads vibration not only on my forehead but on eyebrows, eye sockets and directly hinder my concentration on any kind of work. I am not sure what's going on my face but I always welcome any kind of muscle movements, tingling, twitches or vibration.
