Pembo:
There are a lot of posts about what can we do, can we improve etc. I firmly believe that a good facial therapist can help. There aren't many in the US but let's start a list with contact info of those we know.

Todd Henkelmann, UPMC, Pittsburgh, PA  (412) 648-9670  http://www.upmc.edu/FacialNerve/referrals.htm

When I called, I was connected to Todd directly and he was great on the phone answering all my questions and explaining what he does. I highly recommend him.

Facial Retraining Program
Florida Hospital Center for Rehabilitation & Wellness
Orlando, Florida
Celia Santini, SLP
407-303-7600, ext. 4048

(Hope I'll need it in the near future!)

This page lists several places to get treatment for facial paralysis. I feel like I live in the easiest part of the country to get treatment.  I'm close to Wisconsin and it has four good places to get treatment.  Think that is linked to the fact that Jackie Diehls is in Madison, Wisconsin?

Interesting fact here, Very cold wind can exascerbate the onset of bells and the virus that resides in the nerve root.  So maybe a facial therapist would be well situated in the Northern part of the country.
