There’s a difference between "can" and "will". As a doctor, I've seen very mild cases that don't affect speech. And yes, there was facial dropping in those cases.

Oga, facial dropping will always affect speech. The question will now be to the degree to which speech is affected.

If you understand the anatomy of the muscles of the face and the muscles involved in speech production, then you will know that there is no way a patient who has facial dropping (for whatever cause) will have a normal speech.

It varies in degree from patient to patient, depending on which muscle groups are involved. If the muscles of speech aren't involved, speech remains normal, but facial drooping persists-- and that's a constant sign. Even the facial deformity varies in severity -- from just a slight drooping of the eyelids on the affected side to a complete deformity of the mouth and cheeks.
Great to hear I am disputing your input into this. God bless you, shalom

You people think every disease is a result of lifestyle?
Maybe you'll blame cancer patients & glaucoma patients for causing their condition with their 20s lifestyle. E never touch you and that's why you can act perfect instead of sympathetic
so a young man that takes loud and tramadol heavily in his twenties may be fit and fiddle in his fifties because of good genes?

Just another reason why my colleagues don't argue with those who know nothing about clinical practice. I know better now.

I see your motive is to "win the argument" and not to be enlightened. Well, let me make you happy: You have won.

But if you want to learn, ask any consultant neurologist or any other doctor who knows his onions: Do all cases of Bell's palsy present with speech affectation?

The point is you make it sound like every disease is a result of conscious lifestyle choices, which can lead to bad stereotypes. People can eat healthy, exercise, avoid drugs and processed food, smile all the time and still go down with anything from a mental health condition to cancer.

One important thing I've learnt in life is that,what ever lifestyle you live in your twenties and early thirties will affect your general health much later in life, sure banker

Baba are you stylishly saying that Chidi Mokeme lived a fast lane kind of life with his affairs with older women and other things? shocked

No wonder. I noticed since that his head always seemed tilted to a side while his eyes and cheeks twitched periodically. I thought it was all part of the tough guy swag he adopted on screen.

Speedy recovery to the Ultimate man.
I do noticed this too. I never knew he had a condition

Forget physiotherapist, my friend has a similar issue, though his own is mild, he couldn't raise one eyebrow, and he's been going for physio for almost a year now, and nothing has changed.

Some resolve, some don't, at least you should try. I've seen two people resolve, and that's enough reason to try
