Video 1 - Transcription

After I went to the emergency room, I actually had to go see a nerve doctor. He's the one that prescribed me the steroids. And I try to do exercises, and I try to do it in the mirror. I just kind of looked really funny. You just try to move your face, and the thing is, you can't move it. That's what it comes down to. But I know people try to do massages. People try to massage your face. People try to eat healthier. The point is, you want your body to be as healthy as it can be so that it has a higher chance of healing itself. And so you just try to move your face. You try to blink your eyes. Try to move your forehead. Just try to move your lips around like that. Those are kind of some of the exercises you can do. And just kind of like massaging your head like that. Just moving the muscles and moving the blood in your face around. But they don't really know if that helps or not. You just do it to comfort yourself.
