However, for me the time gap was too long, or I would have sought medical help.<br />I can't comment on alternative medicines, though I know of many people who have benefited from proper use of acupuncture and other forms of alternative medicine.<br />For me, the time gap is too great, not days or weeks, but years.<br />Recently I've been reading and hearing reports of ticks in the urban environment, places like public parks being a classic, and I guess we could also include golf courses.<br />Why golf courses, the same with public parks, mammals will travel across the grass. Mammals will include foxes, badgers and a whole host more....<br />It's scary, but we need to be alert to ticks, and other parasitic life forms that can harm us, our pets and other animals.<br />Interestingly, a bad flu bout can also be triggered by Weil's disease, which is caught from rats!<br />Bells Palsy its self is primarily caused be trauma to the nerve in the seventh cranial canal, which could be the result of Lymes Disease, or even Weil's disease, or other infection, being the initial infection causing the trauma to the nerve.Peak Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645316221553542322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823921419241429099.post-64584452894441110262014-05-09T09:56:25.460-07:002014-05-09T09:56:25.460-07:00You're welcome, thank you for taking the time ...You're welcome, thank you for taking the time to read and comment.<br /><br />PRPeak Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645316221553542322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823921419241429099.post-16143489307772092372014-05-09T03:05:33.202-07:002014-05-09T03:05:33.202-07:00My son also developed a Bells Palsy at the age of ...My son also developed a Bells Palsy at the age of 12 and a flu like illness a couple of weeks earlier. We went straight to hospital as the Bells Palsy was developing and he was treated immediately with anti-virals and antibotics to cover all bases that the Palsy could have been due to either a viral infection or Lyme disease. We then took him for intensive Chinese accupuncture sessions- acupuncture being the Chinese Drs treatment of choice for Bells Palsy. After a couple of days, the muscles on the paralysed side of his face started to move again, 2 weeks later the Palsy was gone. Several months later, we found out his NHS Lyme test was positive. He hadn't been walking in Highlands, camping in the New Forest or picnicking in Richmond park but simply walking to school across a golf course and playing in our garden, where we later discovered an abundance of ticks. So, a cautionary tale of Lyme disease being caught in the most urban of places, not necessarily whilst just rambling in the countryside.
