Symptom #10: Bell’s Palsy
Another form of neuropathy is known as cranial neuropathy. The cranial nerves originate from the brain or brainstem and affect important areas such as the face and eyes. When cranial neuropathies occur, one of the conditions that can result is Bell’s palsy.
In Bell’s palsy, there is temporary weakness of the facial muscles causing one side of the face to droop. This also means that any emotions that you express will only be reflected on one side. Bell’s palsy occurs when the facial nerve (seventh cranial nerve) becomes affected.
