what?

Said Bells Palsy has all the syptoms of a stroke. And the team said if he hadn't recovered by the start of the season he wouldn't be allowed to play.

Bell's palsy affects one facial nerve, it's not life-threatening.

Bell's Palsy Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell's_palsy)

Bell's palsy (or facial palsy) is characterised by facial drooping on the affected half, due to malfunction of the facial nerve (VII cranial nerve), which controls the muscles of the face. Named after Scottish anatomist Charles Bell, who first described it, Bell's palsy is the most common acute mononeuropathy (disease involving only one nerve), and is the most common cause of acute facial nerve paralysis. The paralysis is of the infranuclear/lower motor neuron type. Bell’s palsy affects about 40,000 people in the United States every year. It affects approximately 1 person in 65 during a lifetime. Until recently, its cause was unknown in most cases, but it has now been related to both Lyme disease and Herpes Zoster.

I saw it on FOX as well a few min ago, he was told that he had no white blood cells and said if he cut himself he could bleed to death and he started to cry and thought his life was in danger, well they got it wrong at the dr's and it was someone else's blood. So he did have issues with Bells Palsy but never was in "real" danger due to a medical office error on the blood.

White blood cells (besides being a great White Stripes record) are responsible for fighting off disease. Platelets are responsible for blood clotting. People that have a shortage of platelets are afflicted with hemophilia.

I figured the white blood cells just moved to the suburbs.

Thanks, i knew about the disease thing but that is how they phrased it on FOX via Glazer and said he'd need some sort of blood transfusion as well.

Either way, I learned something new :)

i had a teacher in middle school who had it for like a year. she came to class one day and halv of her face was drooped, she only talked out of the side of her mouth, and she couldnt blink one eye. it was pretty cool for us middle school boys to see that. but sad for her she seemed to take it pretty hard.

Hopefully not too much and we come out with a victory! Sad that we worry about beating the Texans. :shake:

I had it for about 2 weeks a couple years ago. It was frustrating as hell. The worst part was not knowing if it would stay like that forever. I was so glad when I woke up one day and both sides of my face worked again.

I wish you hadn't posted this hamas. I get a huge kick out of the planet medical assumption/advice threads.

I had it when I was like 25. Right side of my face was paralyzed for a few weeks. Had to zap it with this electrode thing that made my mouth taste like aluminum but everything went back to normal eventually and I've never had any problems with it since.

It was annoying, but not life-threatening.

Its not a life threatening disease.

I had it in HS. In can last 8 days, it can last 8 months, or even for the rest of your life.

Jim Ross from WWE has is permanently. I only had it for 3 weeks.
