hi, I am XXXX and i am 25 years male. sir i got facial nerve paralysis at the age of 10. i don t remember that what type of treatment i got but after some time i was well. But after some years i realised that i have some problems with my facial nerve like whenever i am confused i feel vibration and twitching on that side where i got nerve problem. whenever i have done something hard like loading some weight , i also feel shaking of my hands . at that time i was not serious about that because i considered it just my feelings and nothing serious. i found these symptoms which occasional i feel, 1- twitching and vibration whenever i am nervous or confused. 2- i can not see towards lens of any camera for more than 10 sec. after that twitching will start. 3-i can not make stay my lips without twitching for some time, i mean whenever i want to keep smile i feel vibrations on these nerves. 4- twitching when i am having laughter for consecutive 2 minutes. 5- sometimes i also get twitching on my forehead . sir now i am very much concerned about my these problems and i am serous about them. can you please suggest me what i have to do, what are precautions and what type of food can make up this deficiency? thank you for your time. sincerely, XXXX

hai dear
first of all it is was a Bell's palsy since both upper and lower part of face affected
it is true that some cases of bells have a remanant neuropraxia that gets stimulated under emotional disturbances or stress.
u could try amitryptiline 10 mg at night on a daily basis for about an year and there r no side effects
u unable to look at a camera - I really don't think it is related to facial nerve mostly anxiety related
take care
