I seldom get sick. At the age of 30, I met the first major health event in my life-facial paralysis.

As a woman who loves beauty, I take care of my face every day, but I didn't expect that the short board of health would appear on my face without exposure!

It was a weekend, and I woke up to find that my right side of my face was on strike. Want to laugh, but only the left corner can draw a little upward arc, and the right corner is completely irregular; You can only chew with the obedient left side of your face when eating. When you drink soup, you will accidentally spill soup from the other person's mouth. I tried again and again, but I still can't drink through a straw, because only half a lip can make me energetic; I am afraid that others will stare at me, because my left and right faces are asymmetrical, one side is high and the other is low. The most obvious thing is that my eyebrows are not on a horizontal line. I carefully thrush, one trying to draw up and the other trying to draw down. My right eye is sunken, and I feel particularly hard when I see things. That kind of discomfort is indescribable. I also feel flustered and short of breath. I have diarrhea every day for several days, and the whole person is very weak and embarrassed.

At first, I didn't take my "mistakes" too seriously.

To be honest, when these symptoms first appeared, I didn't care too much. I think my eyes are always a little hard to open because I use them too much. What white-collar workers don't work in front of the screen every day? I told myself that as long as I bid farewell to the computer for a while and do eye exercises well, I would be relieved. But on Monday morning, my eyes were still very uncomfortable, accompanied by something wrong with me. I'm thinking about whether to ask for leave, but every Monday morning is the regular meeting time, and everyone has to take part in arranging the work for a week. If I don't go, the screws on my assembly line will probably affect the progress of the whole team. So, although it was hard, I managed to go to the company.

In the office, my smile caused my colleagues to scream.

After the meeting, I was still busy dealing with all kinds of odds and ends in the afternoon. A colleague told a joke, and everyone in the office laughed, and I was happy. At this moment, my colleague sitting opposite me shouted in surprise, "Helen, why are you crooked!" " "The voice is sharp enough, for an instant, everyone looked at me.

I froze. Really? I quickly took out my cosmetic mirror and looked at it carefully. Only then did I realize the real reason why I felt so miserable for a day and a half: my right side of my face was completely frozen. Colleagues asked, "Don't you feel bad? Why don't you ask for leave? " I asked myself the same question, and then laughed at myself for being a little obsessive-compulsive at work. "Go to the hospital!" The leader urged me with concern.

It's confirmed. I have facial paralysis.

What subjects are you reading? I'm at a loss. After consultation, he was introduced to the facial neurology department. The doctor gave me an examination, such as raising eyebrows (the right eyebrow can't move at all), closing eyes (the right eye can't be closed completely, and there is still a gap after closing eyes), bulging cheeks (the right cheek doesn't listen to my command at all), smiling, etc. And quickly came to the conclusion that I had peripheral facial paralysis, commonly known as facial paralysis. There are many causes, such as ear herpes zoster, meningitis, mumps, scarlet fever, malaria, multiple cranial neuritis and local infections, such as otitis media, mastoiditis and purulent inflammation of temporal bone. In addition, trauma may also lead to facial paralysis, such as skull base fracture and facial trauma. And alcoholism, diabetes, vitamin deficiency? Wait, anyway, the reason is quite complicated.

And my cause is probably caused by fatigue and inattention to keep warm. The doctor told me that the incidence of facial paralysis among young people is quite high now.

After prescribing some hormone drugs and injecting vitamins, the doctor told me that the treatment effect of this disease is not so fast, and sometimes it may not be restored in half a year. "What shall we do?" I cried, "How can I go out with an asymmetrical face?" The doctor comforted me: "girl, first of all, you need to have a good rest." If the treatment effect of western medicine is not good, you can consider acupuncture treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. "

It was a sunny day, and the sun shone warmly on me. I am wearing a bright orange down jacket, but I feel gloomy. I carefully hid my face behind a big white mask, but I still felt my face was so cold. Thinking of the face in the mirror just now, I feel strange like a different person.

I thought I was King Kong Barbie! It turned out to be a poor paper girl

Our work is a radish and a pit, so it is difficult to have a thorough rest. One morning during the treatment, I went to the studio to supervise the shooting of a group of films. When I got out of the subway station, I wanted to replenish my energy and bought a cup of hot soybean milk with a straw. Even after a few words, I actually don't have the simple ability to smoke. I felt extremely depressed that day.

Watching the computer has also become torture. The heavy right eye makes me feel that staring at the display screen almost takes all my strength. After a while, I was tired and impatient, and I couldn't stand every minute. I changed my MSN signature to: I thought I was King Kong Barbie, but I turned out to be a poor paper girl!

China's acupuncture therapy saved me.

For the next week, I went to the hospital for vitamin injections every day. The doctor said that this can make the inflamed facial nerves get more nutrition and help them recover. But after seven days, there is still no improvement. After another week, I couldn't help it and decided to try my luck in Chinese medicine hospital. It is said by many people that acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine has a good effect on facial paralysis. I want to give myself one more choice.

Chinese medicine hospitals are overcrowded. After a long wait of several hours, I finally lay on the acupuncture treatment bed. The eight beds in the treatment room are full of patients, almost all of whom are old people. Compared with them, my illness is probably nothing.

Acupuncture doctors are very professional. Assembly line operation, brushing more than a dozen needles, half of the face is full of small silver needles. Thigh, wrist and foot are also fitted with several stitches. Fortunately, there is almost no obvious pain, and the whole treatment process ends in about 20 minutes. After acupuncture, the doctor bled at several key points and gave me a prescription of traditional Chinese medicine to go home and coordinate with the conditioning.

This is almost a miracle. After a week of acupuncture treatment, my face has completely recovered. Stiffness disappeared, facial expressions became smart again, and I became the girl who loves to laugh again.

The doctor's advice made me warm and moved.

During the follow-up visit, the old doctor of Chinese medicine hospital told me meaningfully: "Girl, you must keep warm in the future and don't let yourself catch cold." Besides, don't work too hard. People who are overworked will get sick. "I nodded silently, full of emotion. When I walked out of the hospital, I tied the cashmere scarf around my neck and felt as if I had matured a lot. I think: those strong people in the workplace who are full of expectations, those girls who prefer to freeze people in the cold wind for beauty, maybe my story can give you a little warning? Success and beauty are important, but without health, everything is meaningless.

Ask an expert for you.

Why do young people also have facial paralysis? Is there any explanation between Chinese medicine and western medicine?

One kind of western medicine thinks that facial paralysis is a temporary sexual dysfunction caused by facial neuritis, while Chinese medicine thinks that the body is eroded by cold. Modern young white-collar workers are generally under great pressure in life and workplace, and with the habit of gluttony and not paying attention to keeping warm, facial paralysis is easy to occur. There are not many very effective methods to treat facial paralysis by western medicine, and some of them need half a year to fully recover. Acupuncture treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is the most effective method at present.

What should I do to prevent facial paralysis?

A Winter and spring are the seasons with the highest incidence of facial paralysis. Because this time is the most vulnerable to cold stimulation, especially in the neck area, there are many important acupuncture points. If you are cold, you are more prone to facial paralysis. Don't show your neck in winter and spring. Wearing a scarf with beautiful color is not only a good decoration, but also a good health.

Once facial paralysis, is it possible to relapse?

Answer yes. If you don't pay attention to keep warm, working and living too hard will reduce your immunity, and facial paralysis is likely to happen again. Therefore, professional women who love their work should also do what they can. Never trade health for success.
