Carnie Wilson Bell's Palsy |
'Just wanted you all 2 know that I have Bell’s Palsy on lf side of face right now. Scary, unfortunate, but it goes away. A challenge!' the singer announced on her Twitter page according to Radar Online.
'Ps Who believes in Acupuncture? I’m treating my Bell’s Palsy with it. IT’S WORKING,' she added later.
Bell’s Palsy is a condition that causes paralysis of the muscles on one side of the face.
It results from a dysfunction of the cranial nerve VII (the facial nerve) causing an inability to control facial muscles on the affected side.
It's connected to viruses but a common cause can be plain old stress.
The Hold On favourite and her band are lined up to appear in Oklahoma on March 29, so hopefully she'll feel better by then.
