Bristol Palin has recently discussed her struggle with facial paralysis. In an Instagram Story on January 29, Palin, 34, explained the initial signs that led her to discover the condition. "I woke up nine days ago with a weird little sensation in my face," she recounted. She noted, "My mouth was pulling this way... it looked a little weird," US Weekly reported.

After a few hours, she realized that the entire left side of her face was "numb and just paralyzed." Palin described the lack of eye movement, saying, "I couldn’t really blink my eye, definitely had no movement." Concerned, she visited a doctor for testing. The doctor performed a CT scan and prescribed steroids and other medications. Though the results were inconclusive, the doctors suspect it is a case of Bell’s palsy. They indicated this condition might stem from stress or insufficient sleep.

Bristol commented on her uncertainty concerning its onset. "I’m not really sure. There’s nothing that I was super stressed out about," she stated, but she thought acute stress could have played a role. The Mayo Clinic defines Bell’s palsy as a temporary condition causing sudden weakness in facial muscles.

Despite the challenges, Palin expressed some relief about the progress in her recovery. "This is such an improvement from what I was looking like," she shared, emphasizing that she is beginning to regain some facial sensation. Although she experienced pain over the past few days, she considers it a positive sign. "It’s a good indication that it’s getting better, so praise the Lord," she noted.

Bristol Palin, the eldest daughter of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, conveyed her gratitude for future recovery. "I will be grateful for a normal functioning face when the paralysis fully goes away," she commented. Additionally, she recommended exploring Eastern medicine for similar symptoms, stating that acupuncture has considerably enhanced her recovery process.

In follow-up videos, she documented her ongoing struggle with facial paralysis. On Day 3, she revealed, "There’s absolutely zero movement on the left side of my face." By the sixth day, her face remained "completely numb." However, she felt optimistic with her condition improving slightly by the eighth day.
