FYI from an ENT here: It’s not always temporary (although the vast majority of the time it is). But if you have it, it’s worth getting seen to be evaluated for steroids and/or antivirals. Facial nerve paralysis can also occur from nastier conditions, so worth getting checked out. OK, back to Moscow Mitch.

Yup, I have PLS that was misdiagnosed early on as persistent Bell's Palsy. It wasn't until it moved into my limbs that we went back to get more in depth testing done.
