On December 19th, a women named Sarah shared her story about how she developed Bell's Palsy shortly after receiving the H1N1 swine flu vaccine and how this has ruined her Christmas: "The exact same thing has happened to me! Please think twice about getting this shot. I am a healthy 28 year old and never get sick. I had my shot five days ago and now I have Bells Palsy. So far I am only talking out of the right side of my mouth. ( But my doctor told me to prepare for the worst) My head hurt all week and my speech was slurred the night after I got my shot. I just thought I was tired and then had PMS . I know things could be worse but this could cause permanent effects. I had such a bad headache I throw up and ruptured blood vessels all over my face and chin. I went to a Urgent Care center and was prescribed steroids but this slows down the healing time of broken blood vessels but helps reduce nerve swelling. I am terrified of waking up to my face being distorted and not being able to close my eye. I just hope everything heals. What a awful Christmas!"
