No not really. For 6 months my left side of my face was completed paralyzed, including my tear ducts. In essence I was blind out of 1 eye during that time as I continually had to put ointment on the eye in order to prevent it from shrivelling up (due to no tears). Some people believe early administratin of steroid treatment (non-AAS of course) can help. In my case it did not. I even went to a pain clinic a few times to have multiple accupunture needles hooked up to electricity in the affected area. Hurt like a bitch but didn't help much. At the end of the day time is the main healer. The 7th cranial nerve located behind your ear pretty much has to re-grow. I would say I have 70% functionaly of my left side of my face and to this day cannot completely blink.
