Nervous Disorder, Facial Spasms Causing Difficulty In Laughing, Crying, Lifting Heavy Objects. Taken Acupuncture Treatment. Permanent Cure?

Hi im xxxxxxx.. Im suffering from nervous disorder for the past 8 yrs, i have undergone treatment with many reputed doctors but its of no use.. None of them were able to detect wats my problem..Atlast an yr back i took Accupuntre treatment.. Doctor told im suffering from facial spasms, he encouraged me it can be cured but i was hopless.. to his gurantee my pain on my jaws & cheeks area were reduced to an extent.. But there was continous pulling of nereves & muscles on my cheeks & head.. i couldnt laugh much, lift weight objects & even cry to too.. i had tried attempting sucide too due to this disease & makes my face looks very awkward. i want to know is there any permanent cure treatment for facial spasms.. I havent reached the core level of this disease.. I couldnt laugh & my left eyes will be quite bigger compared to the right one.. this can be easily identified in my photos but not directly.

Hi Saranya,
If your diagnosis of facial spasm is confirmed,then consult a neuro surgeon for a second opinion and management.

Facial spasms can be controlled either by oral medications / Botox injections/ Surgical intervention( if it is due to Facialnerve compression).

Although you have to take regular medications or repeat Botox injections at regular intervals( may be once every 3 mths),under your neurosurgeons guidance it will temporarily relieve your problem .

Surgical intervention will be finalized only by your neurologist/ neurosurgeon after monitoring your response to oral drugs and Botox injections.

Every problem has a solution. So Never Ever give up and have positive thoughts.
Consult a neurosurgeon in your area for confirmation of your diagnosis and early intervention.Take care :-).
