Former Alaska Governor and John McCain’s 2008 running mate Sarah Palin’s daughter, Bristol, has revealed she experienced temporary facial paralysis due to Bell’s palsy. The condition left her with numbness and loss of movement on one side of her face.
Bristol posted about her symptoms on Instagram, stating that she discovered a lopsided mouth in the mirror and lost sensation and movement in her entire left side. She visited her doctor, who performed a CT scan and prescribed steroids and other medications. Doctors attributed her condition to “stress or lack of sleep.”
In recent days, Bristol has noticed improvement, crediting acupuncture as a key factor in speeding up her recovery. She suggests that others suffering from Bell’s palsy may benefit from Eastern medicine approaches like acupuncture.
