Bell's Palsy Update

Emma will be 10 months old on Monday, so we are entering into month 10 of my Bell's Palsy recovery. My face continues to look normal when it's at rest, so that's good news. The bad news is that the nerve seems to have "cross wired" itself as it has healed. This has led to my left eye closing when I pucker and the corner of my mouth lifting when I raise my eyebrows. There are a few other "quirks" that aren't exactly right, but those are the two of the biggies. The other "issue" is the fact that the muscles in my cheek will clinch and stay that way for a long time creating a very sore face.
After finally having enough of that, I decided to look into more and/or differnent therapies. I went to a chiropractor/alternative medicine doctor last Tuesday for an evaluation. He claimed to have experience treating Bell's Palsy. I went on Friday to hear the treatment plan and have the first treatment. I was a little concerned when I wasn't getting a whole lot of straight answers to questions, but I thought maybe I was just being a little dense in understanding the holistic and homeopathic methods. Then we reached the end of our session and I was asking about anticipated results. The doctor then admitted that his best results came from treating people in the early stages of Bell's recovery (meaning his treatments aren't proven because many Bell's cases resolve by themselves in 3 to 6 months). When I repeated to him that my main concern wasn't appearance, but the cross wiring he asked me to show him the pucker. When I did, he laughed and told me it was cute. He then told me that the lift of my mouth when I raise my eyebrows wasn't noticeable.
I decided to not continue seeing this guy. If he is going to dismiss the things I am most concerned about, then he isn't the person I need helping me.
I found a list of exercises for long time recoveries on a Bell's Palsy website, so I am going to try that for now. If that doesn't help, then I may look into finding an occupational therapist or doctor who can help me learn the exercises needed to teach my facial muscles to do the things they should and not the incorrect movements.
