Recently Diagnosed With Bell's Palsy

i've been recently diagnosed with Bell's Palsy 2 weeks ago. I may have gotten this from 

a cold/cough,  the Herpes Virus that causes cold sores, or too much stress. The too much stress

could be a big factor. I'm a caregiver for my husband who has been fighting Multiple Myeloma

Cancer for over 1 1/2 years, so I think maybe all the stress that I have been going through may

have triggered the BP...just my opinion. The BP has affected the left side of my face. I have the

drooped mouth, and drooped left eye. I still have a lot of pressure pain around my left eye, and 

cannot close that eye. It has started blinking today, but I still can't close it completely....
