A member asked:

Is myokymia (little and non-stop contractions of the muscles around the eye and eyelid) considered normal during the bell's palsy recovery (1 month)?

Myokymia: As you recover, the nerve function is sensitive, and fasciculatory activity would be expected. Would not worry about the activity around your eye, as is most likely part of recovery.

I am suffering from Bells Palsy. My eye on that side is not focusing properly and interferes a bit with what my other eye can see. If I put a patch on the bad eye, will that delay my recovery? I am thinking not because it is really a nerve issue..?
