Bell's palsy
I got bell';s palsy 6 months ago, 2 days before I delivered my baby, it was due to cold sores (viral herpes). It started with headaches 2 weeks before.I have recovered about 80%, but I developed synkinesis after following electric therapy. I am 35 years old.
Is there any homeopathic medicine or therapy available that could help me recovered?. Thank you.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I am willing to help you out if you can provide me with a lot more detail.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR GIVING YOUR CASE
Go through each problem one at a time giving a full description of what happens, what pains and sensations you get, what makes it worse and what makes it better, the history of the complaint including when it started and what was happening around that time.
Write a separate section for each problem. Cover even the smallest problems you have.
If any of your symptoms occur together, or immediately before or after one another this is important to note as well.
Do not give single word or short sentence descriptions. The more information you give the better I will be able to help.
Do not read up on the remedies and discuss them. Do not attempt to use the Remedy Finder program on this site. Try to keep yourself apart from all the information about remedies on the internet. Such research on your part actually makes it harder to find the right remedy for you not easier.
Whenever you describe a sensation or pain, try to help me to imagine having that same pain. For example, what would have to happen to me to recreate that symptom?
Allow yourself to diverge if you wish. If discussing the problem brings up any emotional or mental issues, then discuss them.
Do not edit your report, except for spelling mistakes. It is important that even if you use the wrong word, you write that. You can correct yourself in the next sentence.
If you have not done this by the time you have covered your problems, discuss the problems you have generally had in your life. What have been the big traumas, the big issues for you? Where have you felt unable to change, where do you get stuck repeating the same behaviours?
Also discuss the issues you might have had in childhood. Talk about your family, your upbringing, your parents. What kind of child were you? What did you fear, what did you aspire to, what do you remember the most?
Lastly talk about the way in which you handle or cope with your problems. What are the patterns that reoccur in your life? How do you find yourself managing your problems, even if it is not successful? To what degree do your problems affect you? How do you think everything will work out in the end for you?
There will almost certainly be more questions from me after this to clarify and to explore further.
General health questions:
1. What foods and drinks do you crave? A craving is not just liking something but a very strong desire that you must fulfill very often.
2. What foods and drinks do you hate?
3. What kinds of weather and temperature are you sensitive to?
4. Is there anything else in the environment you seem more affected by than other people?
5. What times of the day do you feel at your best and your worst?
6. What problems do you have with sleep?
7. What kind of dreams do you have? If you have a reoccurring dream or pattern in your dreams, please describe them.
8. What is your physical energy like? Are particular activities difficult for you?
9. What kinds of medical treatment have you had in the past? Have there been any bad reactions to medicines, including vaccines?

Np Maheeru. Who knows Causticum may come up in a long analysis too.
Imolinar please make sure you answer all the questions I have posed. You have only answered the less important ones at the end. Your answers even for those are a bit short, you need to define your answers fully.
What kind of sweet food do you like?
What kind of spicy food do you hate?
So you are sensitive to nothing, nothing affects you, you can be in any environment, climate, location in the world and feel exactly the same? Nothing bothers you at all, nothing people do, nothing that is in the air or water?
What time in the morning are you best, what time in the afternoon are you worst?
Describe the anxiety, what happens, how you feel, what you think.
If your energy levels are not normal, what are they? When do you notice it is difficult for you?

David,
I crave a lot of chocolate, and in general any dessert, cake, ice cream, etc.
I have never liked spicy food since I am Colombian and we eat very plain food, so I dont even like pepper.
I live in Dubai, very hot weather, with lots of dust in the air, and AC running most of the time.
In the morning I am at the best at around 7 am when I reach work, the worst it is in the afternoon around 6-7 pm.
My anxiety happens due to Bell';s palsy, I am depressed that it has been 6 months and I am still fully recovered. I was hoping to recovered in a few weeks as I read happens with most of people. It makes me upset because I had bell's palsy, then a bad delivery than ended up on a C-session, and lots of problems breastfeeding my baby. Also, things are work are not that great and I had some problems with some investments I did.
I feel I used to be more energetic before I was pregnant, now I dont sleep enough as my baby wakes up at night, and I have to wake up at 5 am to go to work, and also breastfeeding takes a lot of energy.
