On a day-to-day basis Patty's symptoms range from severe facial spasms, synkinesis, migraine headaches, ocular headaches (later diagnosed as occipital neuralgia) and fatigue. Patty and her doctors are constantly working to find new medications that could alleviate her symptoms and ultimately cure her condition, but they have yet to find success. There is also a significant void in research for Bell’s Palsy, which complicates treatment protocols and recovery plans for patients like Patty.
