Bells Palsy

[Guest pandas16]

3rd Stage- Chronic neurological Lyme- This seems to be a typical symptom. Wondering how many peoples children experienced this?

Lyme Mom son had Bell Palsy. I believe he did not have neuropsych symptoms though... hopefully she'll respond.

I don't understand the question. However, I have Bells Palsy. I've had it for 5 years and have not seen a change since starting treatment about 4 months ago. The BP coincides with all of my other neuro problems as far as when this all began for me. And coincidentally it was during my pregnancy with my PANDAS/Lyme DD.

 

Can you expand more on your orig question?

My son was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy back in August of last year. He also is having neuro issues.

This is not bells palsy but I consider it in the same neuritis family so I thought I would mention it. I had brachial neuritis (parsonage turner syndrome) where my arm was paralyzed for two months and then greatly weakened for months. I woke up in horrific pain and then my arm paralyzed last July. It slowly gained mobility and strength. After lyme treatment, it improved a lot and especially after treatment with doxycycline. It is about 90% back now (still weakens quickly upon non-supported use).

My son developed bells palsy in 2008 and it was a blessing because it alerted us to the fact he had Lyme. We realized that he had had Lyme for a while but we didn't know it. He did not have neuropsychiatric symptoms other than being irritable at times like any other lyme patient. He needed a picc line because the oral antibiotics did not seem to be working. He only had the picc for 5 weeks instead of the two months the dr wanted because he accidentally pulled the line out while sleeping. He was very ill and it took two years and 3 months to treat but he has been well for a year now and off treatment. He is on antibiotics again due to a tickbite while we await test results for the tick. He started doxy the day he got the tickbite so this time we r on top of it.
