Bitterness and Bell's Palsy, Jan 24 2000
By Suzanne Stacy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Surviving Bells Palsy: A Parent's Guide to Facial Paralysis Management (Paperback)
The author of this book has suffered the consequences of Bell's Palsy twice. I have only had it once, which is enough for anyone. I can't help but believe that such a negative, bitter attitude as in this book is not going to help anyone. I bought it, read it and destroyed it. A vitamin/antioxidant regime is what appears to have brought about my 98% recovery. Once I got my body and mind on the right track it came swiftly. While I remained negative and self-pitying, I stayed ill. I had Polio and this is worse in my opinion. It is a miserable illness and when ill you need positive support and a positive outlook. This book provided neither.

Worse than useless, Aug 9 2002
By Glenda G W North - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Surviving Bells Palsy: A Parent's Guide to Facial Paralysis Management (Paperback)
When my daughter was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy, I went out on the net looking for information, and I ordered this book immediately, hoping to have something helpful to give her. When it arrived, I read it in 20 min (that's how little it has in it) and was appalled at the very negative and one-sided view it gave. 80% of BP victims recover completely in 3 weeks to 3 months, yet the 3 case histories he gave were all among the worst of the remaining 20%. There's nothing good here that you can't get from one click on the net, and there is a tremendous amount of discouragement contained in these few pages.I did NOT give this book to my daughter. I like her too much for that. It would have caused her added trauma with no compensating benefit. Keep this AWAY from BP sufferers. It has no redeeming value.

Excellent book allowing reader to understand sufferer's pain, May 1 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Surviving Bells Palsy: A Parent's Guide to Facial Paralysis Management (Paperback)
This book gave me a much better understanding about what is occurring with a Bell's Palsy sufferer. Being informed about important issues such as eye care and emotional distress were key! The author took the time to explain his episodes and his intense feelings that arose. Seeing that BP can affect your self-esteem and even your career means that family and friends must provide support! Learning the alternative treatment methods presented allows one to know more about the medical options available. I would highly recommend this book to family, friends,and physicians so that they too can have a more realistic take on Bell's Palsy! Good Reading.
