Apparently, the same situation happened to her back in 2009.</p><p>“My bad din kasi I don&#x27;t take vitamins every day tapos di ba hectic nung sched namin sa Euro trip tapos beach. Yung change of weather with low immune system made me vulnerable again,” she said.</p><p>De Leon is currently undergoing therapy every day to restore her muscle movement.</p><p>According to the <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/bells-palsy/basics/definition/con-20020529">Mayo Clinic website</a>, Bell&#x27;s Palsy is caused by a swollen or inflamed facial nerve controlling the muscles.</p><p> The symptoms include facial droop, one-sided smile, pain around the jaw or in and behind the ear, and an eye that resists closing.</p><p>Anyone can have it, but it usually affects people aged 15 to 60. It added that a virus, usually herpes simplex, commonly causes Bell&#x27;s Palsy.</p><p>The website added that symptoms improve in a few weeks, and recovery usually takes three to six months.</p><p>As symptoms mimic those of a stroke, people should seek medical attention as soon as possible.</p>
