Woke up Sunday morning with my face frozen and a bit droopy on the right side, also
couldn't close my right eye fully. After some tests at the Hospital turns out I got Bell's Focing Palsy. What a pain in the arse, well face I suppose,
I work in Saudi so have been looking forward all year to getting out and about on my Fazer 1000. I don't know if I will be able to ride for a while as I
can't close my right eye, so can't blink to clear it. I have to do it manually with a finger which is a bit impractical whilst riding a bike. Got shit
loads of meds so am hoping for a little improvement ASAP. Just bummed out as its the highlight of my summer holiday
getting out on the bike and I had a Bike Safe course booked for the 26-27 July.
Chris Walker had it a few years back, I wonder if it will make me as fast as he is?

deefer also had this a few years ago, and it can be bought on by a draught coming in through your helmet - it will clear up
 for a speedy recovery

Yeah, I had it a few years ago. My doc said it is very common amongst motorcyclist (something to do with a constant draft onto one of the facial nerves). Like
you I was given a shit load of meds and it did clear up after a few weeks.

Doc thought I had this also. In fact I had a large abcess in my ear..eww. Not nice! Sometimes it can take a while to recover, but hopefully yours isn't
that severe! Good luck and get well! x

Well clearing in a few weeks is good to hear, hopefully mine clears quickly. Its the eye that bothers me the most as I can't see how I could ride with it
watering all the time and not being able to clear it. Might just tape it shut and ride one eyed, lol
The talking ike you have just had dental work is a bit of a pain too, plus eating is a laugh a minuet experience. |

Yes bottled beer also fun...lol
Did yours clear up overnight, or did it get better over a few days / a week? My dads pal had it and it came on overnight, a week later he woke one morning and it was all fine. Kev |

Yeah, i had it too, pretty miserable time. Was ok again in about 6 weeks. I bought some bike goggles to wear under my lid, which did the trick.

I had bell-end palsy once...same droopiness as bell's palsy, but a different part of your anatomy is affected...
