I am glad you went to the Drs Deni. I have had Bells Palsy as well and it was really scary to begin with as my Mum had a slight stroke a couple of weeks before.

One thing I was recommended to do, was massage the areas that are affected, eg using two fingers massage all around your mouth and your eye, this also helps stimulate the muscles again.

Be careful about your eye not closing tho, as it will not produce enough tears/lubricant for the eyeball, the doctor suggested to me to put an eye patch on overnight, or tape my eye closed with surgical tape to avoid any infections.

Hope this helps
