00:00 So, Kim, do you believe that a simple smile can have a big effect on other people?
00:04 Oh, you know what?
00:06 It's easier to smile than to frown.
00:09 Yes, usually.
00:10 We only need a little muscle when we smile.
00:12 But when you frown, you need a lot.
00:14 We need a lot of muscle.
00:15 So, Kim, usually, we just receive a simple smile.
00:18 Our mood changes, right?
00:20 Susan, there are also times when you want to smile,
00:23 but you can't do it for others.
00:24 It's because of the feeling you're bringing.
00:26 That's my story, "Dapat Alamo."

00:32 Different facial expressions are key to a good selfie.
00:35 Pouty lips?
00:37 Happy?
00:38 Sad?
00:39 Or even wacky?
00:41 But what if one day, your face seems to be motionless
00:44 and you're about to go home with a cramp?
00:46 I'm excited to go home and then my nose hurts.
00:49 It can occur in any body, especially when the immune system is down.
00:54 [music]
00:58 Hazel doesn't seem to have any problems going home
01:01 because of Bell's Palsy last year.
01:03 It's not easy because I talk to people every day,
01:08 different people.
01:09 So, I feel like I'm conscious.
01:12 First, I had anxiety.
01:15 I thought it would be okay because I'm used to anxiety.
01:19 But the next day, it started to numb and then my nose hurts.
01:26 Hazel's chance of getting her face back to normal is only 30%.
01:31 After one week, it didn't get better because they gave me medicine.
01:38 They need to consider my lab test
01:40 which is I might get a stroke.
01:44 It's not really Bell's Palsy.
01:45 It's not clear what the result or suspicion is.
01:51 Bell's Palsy is a condition where a part of the face is paralyzed
01:55 according to neurologist Dr. Rosie Duco.
01:57 Bell's Palsy is a neurological disorder.
02:01 You can't close your eyes, raise your eyebrows, or smile.
02:08 Because it's related to the reactivation of the Herpes Simplex Virus
02:12 which is like sleeping or hidden in our body.
02:15 If a person's resistance weakens, the virus can reactivate
02:21 and cause Bell's Palsy.
02:24 Hazel says the cause of Bell's Palsy is stress.
02:27 I'm always stressed because when I have a problem,
02:30 I think about it a lot.
02:33 I work at night, so I'm a night shift.
02:35 I'm a call center.
02:37 Maybe my body is weak because of what I do.
02:40 I don't take care of it.
02:43 During stress, our immunity weakens.
02:48 If our immunity weakens, any viral infection can enter our body
02:53 or our system and we can have Bell's Palsy.
02:57 Aside from taking medication, Hazel also tried acupuncture.
03:00 I have a friend who has an auntie who has Bell's Palsy.
03:04 That's what she did.
03:06 I tried it. After 3 weeks, I was really okay.
03:11 You can't do too much because if you do too much,
03:14 it can also cause muscle fiber injury and Bell's Palsy can't be cured.
03:19 After 10 days, Hazel's condition improved.
03:23 In 80 to 85% of cases, patients have a full recovery.
03:30 So in 15 to 20% of cases, there can be damage
03:35 or permanent disability in the face.
03:38 Bell's Palsy does not have a fixed age.
03:41 Even if it's a young or old person, they can experience it.
03:44 It develops suddenly.
03:46 Usually, within 3 days or 7 days, that's the maximum facial weakness
03:52 that we can see.
03:54 Any age group can be affected with Bell's Palsy.
03:57 It can also be seen in children, adolescents, or young adulthood.
04:02 That's why the body and mind should be taken care of to avoid any disease.
04:08 If we have problems, we should not stop.
04:12 We should give ourselves time to deep breath.
04:15 We should not snore in the room.
04:18 We also need sunlight.
04:20 We have to strengthen our immunity, adequate rest or adequate sleep,
04:26 nutrition, diet and exercise, drink lots of water.
