She Was Told Her Face Would Never Recover, Acupuncture Proved the Doctors Wrong | @keepingitrealjenngodfrey
Keeping It RealShow Notes
At 2AM, @RealJennGodfrey walked into a bathroom and half her face was paralyzed. She collapsed on the floor. They code redded her, shut the floor down, and rushed her to the ICU all in the middle of an already traumatic week-long hospital stay for delivery. Neurology's verdict: her Bell's palsy was so severe her face would probably never fully come back. @the_fertility_expert's response: get the needles in immediately. Within three to four months her face started moving again. In this episode of Keeping It Real, @RealJennGodfrey and @the_fertility_expert walk through one of the most extreme Bell's palsy cases @the_fertility_expert had ever seen and explain why the speed of your first decision is the single most important factor in any Bell's palsy recovery. Acupuncture has centuries of documented history treating facial paralysis. What it does not have is time to waste. If you or someone you know is facing a Bell's palsy diagnosis or has ever been told recovery is uncertain this episode is essential listening. Follow the show so you never miss an episode.
