Greetings! I am 7 months pregnant and thought I was coming down with an ear ache - within 24 hours my eye would not close, I could no longer smile and was like most everyone else my first thought was I had a stroke - but I was diagnosed with BP. I am thankful I have seen some improvement in a weeks time - I am now going into my 2nd week and the pain seems to have subsided a bit which has allowed me to return to work - I know different ones in the office try not to stare but I am still very thankful because I know how bad I looked initially and I have improved so I am trying to stay optimistic - they of course can do nothing until my baby is born as far as in medication to assist in recovery. From what I have studied it appears that it will be helpful in my recovery to massage my face daily - I would appreciate any other info - also I am looking for info on what signs to watch for as recovery signs......
