I've contracted Bell's Palsy, which is caused by an impairment of some facial nerves caused by swelling and pressure on the nerves. The effect is like having an injection of novocaine from the dentist.
I cannot play with half my mouth, not immobilized, but with a total loss of muscle tone allowing air to just blow out one side of my lips.
This is a relatively benign affliction and typically disappears in 3-6 weeks.
Does anyone have any suggestions for exercises or methods to try to preserve muscle strength in the oris and cheek musculature. When this goes away, I want to regain my playing as quickly as I can.
Thanks to all,
John
