title: On call. Last month I developed severe weakness on the whole left side of my face. My doctor diagnosed Bell's palsy and referred me to a neurologist. I recovered before I got to see her, so I didn't keep the appointment. Although my face is now back to normal, I'd like to know more about the condition. What can you tell me?
