Bell’s Palsy is the paralysis of the facial muscles caused by damage or constriction of the facial nerve (the 7th Cranial nerve) resulting in facial palsy to one side of the face (in 1% of cases this can occur on both sides of the face: Bilateral Bell’s Palsy).

Here is a comprehensive list of the most common physical Bell’s Palsy symptoms. This is not an exhaustible list and a Bell’s Palsy sufferer may or may not get some or all of them.

Certainly, when under the stress of getting acquainted with having facial paralysis, just knowing that a symptom is “possible”, that it has happened to others and is therefore nothing to worry about, is, in itself, extremely helpful.

It is most definitely useful for the friends and family of the Bell’s Palsy sufferer to be aware of this list, so that they can more immediately understand what the person with Bell’s Palsy is actually going through and can remind them that the latest “panic” is actually on this list and is therefore something that is “normal”.

The real symptoms of Bell’s Palsy – A comprehensive guide

• Facial muscle paralysis or a weakness of the facial muscles giving an overall lop-sided appearance to facial expression. Bilateral Bell’s Palsy (a rare occurrence in approximately 1% of cases) produces a face with no expression whatsoever.
• The facial skin loses any wrinkling (it is an ironically pleasing experience as they return)
• Difficulty closing the eye on the affected side.
• A extremely dry eye or an excessively watery eye as Bell’s Palsy affects both tear gland and tear duct function.
• A pronounced “open” eye on the affected side due to the inability of the Orbicularis Oculi muscle (the muscle surrounding the eye socket) to keep the lower eyelid in its normal place. This makes the surface of the eye dangerously exposed to likes of dust and debris and this must be protected against.
• “Bell’s Phenomenon” is a common Bell’s Palsy symptom. When attempting to close your eyelids the “eyeball” on the affected side will disappear upwards behind the affected eyelid. This is not really noticeable to the owner of the eye, but is very noticeable to a person watching your affected eye. It is not something to be worried about at all. Although there is no medically scientific reason why this should happen, it is an extremely helpful symptom because it helps protect the affected eye whilst your eyelid cannot. This symptom will go along with the others in the course of time.
• A slight sensitivity to light most probably due to the fact that you cannot close one of your eyes completely.
• Crocodile tears. Tears that appear when eating or when you are about to eat. These are not usually problematic, just “odd”. They are a sign of recovery, but if a person does not get them, they are still recovering.
• Painful teeth (unlike toothache more as if the teeth on the affected side of your face have been frozen into one block. This can pass within a few days and again, is odd, rather than actually painful)
• A runny or blocked nose.
• A noticeable difference in the way the person with Bell’s Palsy speaks, due to the paralysis of the Orbicularis Oris (the facial muscle that surrounds the mouth) in conjunction with various other facial muscles, that allow us to move our lips.
• A noticeable difference in the ease with which the person with Bell’s Palsy can eat and drink (they can eat and drink but it is very different and leads to a great deal of embarrassment and is very upsetting, especially at first) Hyperacusis – A pronounced sensitivity to sound in the ear on the affected side.
• A feeling that the ear on the affected side is intermittently blocked (as if having partial deafness) upon facial movement when facial movement starts to return. Pain around the area of, or in, the ear of the paralysed side of the face.
• A noticeable difficulty (impossible with bilateral Bell’s Palsy) to close the lips properly.
• A drooping bottom lip (especially in Bilateral Palsy)
• A constant thirst or an overactive saliva gland causing dribbling (This is again very embarrassing and can thus affect mood)
• Whistling is an impossibility without manual manipulation to hold the lips in their proper place.
• Facial swelling, or at least the feeling that your face, or parts of it, are swollen.
• The loss of, or reduction in, taste in the anterior (front) 2/3’s of tongue, relating to the perception of saltiness and sweetness.
• Eyebrows cannot be raised together equally, or individually on the paralysed side of the face.
• Major distortions of the face when expressions are attempted, when speaking and when eating.
• Minor (but stressful at the time) feelings of unsteadiness, or hyper- vigilance. These can occur purely due to the stress or fear of this or any scary situation.
• Chronic tiredness as would be associated with having a virus (this will go incrementally with rest)
• As recovery begins, a tingle, mild pain or twitch may be noticed in the area where the facial nerve ending has begun to receive a signal. As a warning, these feelings may appear and then disappear which is extremely upsetting (they usually always return, at which point they are nearly always stronger). A fresh “Twitch” is an extremely encouraging and mood enhancing experience to the Bell’s Palsy recoverer.

Recovery from Bell’s Palsy can take up to 3 months in the majority of cases (50-60%) and within 6 months 80% of people have experienced a complete recovery. Sometimes it can take longer, but healing continues long after the 6 months stage and can even be restarted or boosted many years afterwards with the help of facial exercises, facial retraining or electrical stimulation treatment.

1. Replace all buttons with Velcro.
   

   If your buttons are constantly getting caught on things while you are crawling then you should consider replacing all of your buttons with Velcro. Now you won’t be getting caught up while crawling.

2. Add both elbow and knee padding to your new Ghillie Suit.
   

   If after a long day in your Ghillie Suit you find that your elbows and knees are sore then perhaps you should add padding. One trick I read about online was to sew in mouse pads as they are very flexible and provide enough padding to save your elbows and knees.

3. Add a Camelback to the suit.
   

   How many times have you gotten thirsty when you couldn’t afford to reach for your canteen? Even if you haven’t then you would still benefit from incorporating a Camelback into your Ghillie Suit. After adding one then you won’t even have to move to quench your thirst without giving up your position.

4. Get Dirty.
   

   As strange as it may seem at first, you should get that new suit dirty. Have you ever seen a dirt free outdoors? Me either, so crawl around and get it dirty!

5. Replace the armpits with mosquito netting.
   

   One thing about these suits is they tend to be heavy. If you are out in the humid and hot woods you could easily overheat before even realizing it. Now imagine how much cooler you would stay if you replaced the armpits with netting? What about replacing a small portion of your back and chest with netting? Before long you will have taken the temperature in that suit way down!

6. Add your own vegetation.
   

   The goal of your new Ghillie Suit is to blend in to your surroundings. There is no better way to blend in then to actually wear your surroundings! Don’t be afraid to add some leaves so that you blend in just that much better.

7. Do not wash your Ghillie Suit.
   

   There are a few reasons not to wash your Ghillie Suit. One of which is for a safety. When the suit is washed it removes the fire retardant. You then have to reapply the retardant in order to return to the previous safety level. More so, you would be washing away all the foliage, etc that you have managed to pick up on the suit as you have worn it!

8. Add thumb loops to your sleeves.
   

   Do your arms start moving up as you are crawling? One way to fix that is to sew on thumb loops to the end of your sleeves. This allows you to put your thumbs in to them and will prevent your arms from riding up while you are trying to get into a better position for that perfect shot.

9. Add leg cuffs to your pants.
   

   Another common problem is that the pant legs will start riding up while crawling in prone. With the addition of some leg cuffs you can easily keep those pant legs in place so that the only thing left for you to worry about is that perfect shot.

10. Add more pockets.
    

    I just can’t seem to have enough pockets. Don’t be afraid to add a few more of your own. Just make sure they are well hidden and are easy to reach!

Is it easy to choose the right gift for your Gemini lady? Because Gemini – the twins – is an air sign, the Gemini female is a natural communicator and also full of nervous energy. A Gemini woman will be thirsty for knowledge and new experiences. She is a multi-faceted person, who enjoys knowing a little bit of everything. She might also be an excellent talker or a proficient writer.

Most Gemini women want their guys to be interesting and fun to talk to. Their ideal is to fall desperately in love with their best friend. It is also important to show her that you are mentally very active too. A Gemini girl is not normally a ‘touchy-feely’ person, she is more likely to be someone who can quickly switch from the lover to the analyst, who wants to discuss everything with you.

Stability in the relationship is less important to her, but she will want to know exactly what ‘makes you tick’ and she will ask you all about the things that have made you the person you are. The Gemini woman can be as dependable as a Taurean and as fiery as a Leo. If you like variety, she is the girl for you. Geminis are usually considered to be compatible with the other air signs, Libra and Aquarius, and the fire signs, Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.

To attract your Gemini female, you need to come across as a complex character too. So whatever you do always keep a part of yourself hidden and they will never become bored with you. Play the mysterious magical man in her life, which will suit her temperament, as Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury, so she loves mystery.

Gemini colors are white, green, silver and yellow, which match beautifully with her birthstones of diamond, jade, topaz and aquamarine. The Swarovski crystal Gemini pin reflects these colors and stones, making it a wonderful near-perfect gift for the Gemini girl. Because of the color combination, it can be worn against many background colors and is a very versatile gift.

The most appropriate flowers for this fickle and demanding creature are snapdragons and iris. As spring is the season for the iris, the beautiful tall yellow ones will make a great gift bouquet.

The primary motivation of your Gemini lover is to gather information and arrange it into new and interesting ideas. If you select the Swarovski crystal Gemini pin for her, this will show her a new facet of your character which she has not seen before and please her greatly.

These particular zodiacal gifts are also collected by those who simply appreciate their beauty never mind the star sign connection.

The symptoms of diabetes are similar in children and adults. The symptoms in both often go unnoticed. The different types of Diabetes are Type 1, an autoimmune disease, and Type 2, caused by insulin resistance. Type 1 diabetes usually develops in children and Type 2 in adults. However, the recent rise in obesity in children is making Type 2 a more common problem. Both types of diabetes have the same symptoms even though the cause is different.

The most noticeable symptoms of Diabetes in both children and adults are increased thirst, frequent urination, increased hunger, and fatigue. These symptoms are easily attributed to other causes, which is why people sometimes go undiagnosed. The increase in thirst and urination are caused by excess sugar in the blood stream. To counter the high blood sugar, the body pulls fluid from the tissues, resulting in thirst. Frequent urination results from the diabetic drinking more fluids to counteract the thirst. The increase in hunger is a direct result of the body not having enough insulin available. Muscles and organs do not get enough glucose if there is not enough processed because of insulin levels and then hunger occurs. Fatigue sets in when the body is deprived of the glucose it needs for energy. Other symptoms one should be aware of are blurred vision, decreased healing capability, and patches of darker colored skin.

Type 1 Diabetes will require treatment with insulin and the close supervision of a doctor. Type 2 Diabetes can often be managed, and prevented, with appropriate diet and exercise. People at risk for Diabetes or that develop any of the symptoms at any age, should seek out a medical diagnosis and treatment.

Are you a vessel of honor or dishonor? Are you prepared to be used for every good work? God is looking for those who are ready for the work He has at this time. However, many people are not consciously preparing for it. This article tells you about preparing to be used of God.

But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work – 2 Timothy 2: 20-21 (KJV).

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man – Ecclesiastes 12:13 (KJV).

Many believing Christians give their lives to Jesus Christ and stop there. They do not purge themselves nor prepare themselves for God to use them. They forget that the whole duty of man is to obey the commandments of God.

The Creator of the whole universe works on earth through men; some to honor and some to dishonor. What each one is used for is determined by the state of the individual. For believing Christians, God ordained them as vessels of honor, but each person ultimately decides what he or she is used for by the level of preparation he or she makes.

The kingdom of the Almighty is not meat and drink, but peace, righteousness and joy in the Holy Ghost (Romans 14:17). Some Christians want Christ and the devil in their lives at the same time, this however cannot be; you either serve the Lord or mammon (Matthew 6:24). You need to purge yourself of all carnality and build up yourself in your most holy faith (Jude 20). No one can do it for you!

How to Prepare Yourself

1. Be thirsty for righteousness (Matthew 5: 6)

When you thirst for righteousness, the scripture says you will be filled. Righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to the people (Proverbs 14:34). A thirst for righteousness makes you to do all that is within your power to ensure you get it. It will move you to seek God seriously and to engage in spiritual exercises that will build you up (1 Timothy 4: 7, Acts 24:16).

2. Prayer and Word study (Acts 6: 1-4).

Studying the word of God reveals to you who you are in Christ, your inheritance in Christ (Acts 20:32) and teaches you how to enjoy victory and success in life. It enables you to stand before God without shame, being approved of God (2 Timothy 2:15). Word study and prayers release wisdom, revelation in the knowledge of God and cause your eyes of understanding to be enlightened (Ephesians 1: 17-18). The apostles knew they couldn't do without studying the word and praying if they were to prepare themselves for the master's use, and so delegated the issue of serving tables to others so they could focus on them.

3. Prayer and fasting (Isaiah 58: 6-8)

This builds up your spiritual sensitivity to God and empowers you to flow in righteousness. It subdues your fleshly desires and empowers your spirit man, which is connected with the Holy Spirit (Proverbs 20:27). Also, it enables you to be spiritually minded, thereby making you to speedily pick God's instructions as He speaks to you. This is because your spiritual eyes and ears are opened as a result of prayer and fasting.

In conclusion, so much is to be accomplished by God through His people and He wants to use you as a vessel of honor; However, He will be hindered if you are not prepared. Therefore, prepare yourself with the points given above, purge and make yourself fit to be used by your Master today, and the glory and honor that follow obedience will be yours to enjoy.

Living a healthy life is not difficult. In fact, it is very easy to live a life of health, fitness and vitality. But we have made our life more complicated, jeopardizing our health in the process. Here are 7 simple steps to make your life healthy and happy.

1. Drink water
Am I saying something superfluous? After all, we all drink water, don't we? Yes, we do but many of us are under the misconception that since drinks like coffee, milk, alcohol, juices etc. contain water, drinking some of these will provide the body with enough water. You need to drink a significant amount of water in its pure form! How many glasses of water do you drink everyday? I am not going to suggest any quantity. Just listen to your body. If you feel thirsty, drink water; Don't go for a glass of juice or for a bottle of caffeinated soda!

2. Have a sense of proportion in what you eat at different times of the day
What you eat in the morning should be your heaviest meal and what you eat for the dinner must be the lightest. A heavy breakfast, a medium lunch and a modest dinner will keep you fit, healthy, brisk, active and energetic.

3. Eat more natural foods than processed foods
Eat more of the foods produced by nature than of foods made in the factories. Natural foods will nurture your body while processed foods will weaken your body.

4. Play games.
Keeping yourself physically active by playing games at all ages is the best gift you can give your body. Even if you do exercises, play games too. While doing exercises will make you feel that you are doing them because you have to, playing games will make you joyful relaxed. The fun that is usually missing when you do exercises will be present in its full form when you play games. Playing games does not mean that you have to play professional games. If you are a grand parent, you can play little games like hide and seek or other games of your own innovation with your grand children, making both your grand children and yourself happy.

5. Spend some time with silence
Allocate a few minutes for yourself everyday, during which, just be quiet. You may do some mediation or you may just sit down calmly and observe your thoughts, without trying to control them. You will find that you will cultivate a peaceful mind over a period.

6. Sleep for at least 6 hours a day
Allowing your body to take the rest it needs is one of the most essential requirements for good health. You can have many reasons for not being able to sleep adequately but these reasons are not going to help in mitigating the damage you are doing it to your health. Find some way to ensure that you get at least 6 hours of sleep every day.

7. Walk your way to health
Can you allocate about 30 minutes everyday to go for a walk? If you can, then you will be creating a solid foundation for a life of health and vitality.

The age of heavyweights ruled the world. People from all over the globe traveled to Las Vegas and other popular cities to watch massive, hulking men duke it out in the ring. Now, however, the heavyweight champs are a thing of the past. Few consumers are willing to pay top dollar to watch relatively unknown boxers dance around each other for twelve rounds. This is especially true now that the biggest names in boxing are all lightweights or welterweights.

Surprisingly, however, the thirst for live action has only continued to surge. People may not be watching boxing, but they still appreciate a good cage fight. More viewers are coming to respect the unique challenges of fighters engaging in a mixed, martial arts style. They know that the can see grapplers, boxers, wrestlers and other professionals pit their skills against each other in a challenge that is much strategy and good sense as it is physical strength.

This involves intense, whole body conditioning in a full-time fashion. You’ll only be given days off to let your muscles repair and get ready for the next, vigorous session.

It is usually best to have a background in some form of free hand fighting such as muay thai, judo, jujitsu or karate. These things involve the intense mental and physical conditioning that you will need to face off with tough competitors. Your new trainer will simply build upon what you’ve already learned by teaching you new elements and showing you how to fight at different elevations.

To get started, spend some time watching mixed martial arts fights to see if these are right for you. All fighters invariably take a beating at some point in time. There is no single fighter that is guaranteed to never meet his match. There are countless, talented individuals out there and they are all thirsty to reach the top.

You will find that this is a lot more full-contact than boxing ever was. While there are still rules, the ring environment is a bit more savage than most are used to seeing for boxing competitors. Hands, kicks, feet and headbutts are used to viciously incapacitate opponents. You cannot be afraid to experience pain. In fact, you almost have to like it a little bit, even if you only enjoy inflicting it on yourself in the gym.

The next and most important step is to find a good coach. Not only should this person have in-ring experience, but he should also have the connections for helping you line up fights when you’re finally ready.

What is your heart telling you during that passionate kiss? Scripture points out to us that even when we look at another person with lust (desire) we have committed adultery in our heart. If I think about being thirsty, I will want to drink some water. And the more I dwell on how thirsty I am, the thirstier I will become. In the same way, if I think about being lonely and unhappy in my marriage, I may want to go outside the bounds of my marriage for attention and happiness.

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery,’ but I tell you anyone who looks at another woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” (Matthew 5:27-28 NIV)

When a married man or woman even looks at another person with thoughts of sex or with thoughts of desiring him or her, it is adultery of the mind. The more we think about desiring another person and the more we look with thoughts of longing, the chances are physical adultery will occur. What is produced in our mind eventually comes out in our actions. So knowing this then, what do you think a passionate kiss will produce?

What causes emotional infidelity is when a husband or wife does not feel that their needs are getting met – something is missing from the relationship, or they don’t feel loved. So what happens is usually by accident, the seemingly deprived spouse finds someone online that is apparently and genuinely interested in them. Ironically all of the missing elements within that person have been discovered and fulfilled since meeting this new online friend.

Sometimes these relationships are not just online, but from someone you know and talk to every single day, such as where you work. Pretty soon, you are feeling so euphoric with all of the new attention this person is giving you that you end up in a passionate and absorbing kiss. The more this other person fills you up with attention, the more your mind will tell you to have sex with them.

What causes physical adultery is looking and desiring and then thinking about having sex with someone in your mind. God wants us to only desire the person we married. If you feel that something is missing in your marriage, or you just do not feel loved by your spouse, it means it is time to get more intimate and bring romance back into the marriage!

When we ask God for guidance and we stop thinking and desiring someone other than who we married, we find the person we married pleasing to us and we realize we don’t desire strangers any more. You see the switch in thinking? That switch of thoughts comes from the Power of Christ within you. This happens because of prayer and the faith we have that God WILL do what He says He will do. The more we think of doing what is right we will desire our spouse even more! If we don’t care about what is right or wrong, we will inevitably fall into lustful thinking and desires.

So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. (Galatians 5:16-17 NIV)

As believers we are not alone in our sufferings – we have God’s words in our heart and Christ’s teachings in our minds. We must ask God to keep us from lustful thoughts so we may not even “think” or “desire” another person in a sexual or lustful way.

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly possessions, and to live self controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age. (Titus 2:11 -12 NIV)

Where can a passionate kiss lead? It can lead to disrespect of oneself, spouse and to God. Adultery brings ruin to many homes – in the end when all is said and done, was it worth losing your marriage over? In a healthy marriage, where Christ has been given priority over everything else, married people reserve themselves for each other.

For everything in the world – the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does – comes not from the Father but from the world. (1 John 2:16 NIV)
