Hi, my name is Kayla and I want to share my story.
One year and five months ago, I was diagnosed with Bell’s palsy, and at that moment I had no idea what it was. I was very scared. I cried every night thinking I was going to die, and I didn’t want to leave my daughters alone.
I would wake up every morning hoping my face had returned to normal, but without success. I went to specialists, but here in the United States facial paralysis is not taken very seriously. They denied me physical therapy.
One day, I decided to take matters into my own hands and start learning about the condition myself. It has been very interesting everything I’ve learned along the way. I am still recovering, and I celebrate every achievement with great joy.
Now I help other people who are going through the same thing with the knowledge I’ve gained, and it makes me very happy to see that people can improve thanks to what I’ve learned.
