11. Bell's Palsy is the pinching of a facial nerve

Thu Sep 11, 2025, 05:59 PM

Sep 2025

usually caused by exposure to extreme cold. It's temporary and can be treated simply by exposure to warmth.

If anything, this could be a TIA: Transient Ischemic Attack, or "mini stroke" in simplified terms. My mom once had one it's cauaed by narrowing of the carotid artery, which can be treated with medication that dissolves the blocking material, or by what I thought of as "Roro Rooter" surgery.

One thing we know for sure: If it comes up, he White House will say, "The president is in excellent health."

If someone close to you has one side of their face droop like this, get them medical attention immediately. mackdaddy Sep 2025 #18
