i never had it, but i know what you are dealing with. it's a viral infection right?
be glad you didn't have a stroke because that is what it seems like at first.

My uncle has it. His face gets droopy on one side. It's not cool. I think my mom is developing it. I'm not sre if it's hereditary, because I may come down with it sometime.

Stress and heart irregularities can bring it on.

It happened to me in 2000.

My former supervisor had it for awhile. I think the stress of his mother passing away caused it.

My dad had it a few years back. It was during graduation time so we have many funny pictures of him. It lasted ~3 weeks if I remember correctly.

I've had it and it does suck. Although, it doesn't last very long. Had it for about 2-3 weeks. Was rather funny now that I think back on it. Had a hell of a time eating haha. And smiling was comical at worst, but like I said, after 2-3 weeks it was totally gone.
