I posted a question about bell's palsy on 12/11/09. Now about 6 days later, my diagnosis turns into Ramsay Hunt Syndrome which causes bell's palsy.
My current treatment is prednisone taper down from 60 mg over 13 days, currently on my 6th day. I was able to start the corticosteroid immediately when I first found out about bell's palsy. Today, the physician just started me on Valtrex (antiviral) due to new symptoms of my ear relating to Ramsay Hunt Syndrome. I felt that it was a bit late. We should've started both drug therapies together, but there were no signs for the need of antivirals at the start so we didn't start it until now.
I hope everything turns out well.
Does anyone have any medical advice or information regarding Ramsay Hunt syndrome? Any previous experiences? Treatments? Any recovery at all? How did you turn out? Please share any stories you have, with as much details as possible so we can all learn a bit more from each other. Feel free to contact me by email if you have questions for me.
