Actress Angelu de Leon has suffered another Bell’s Palsy attack, a type of facial paralysis resulting from damage in facial nerve that causes muscle weakness on one side of the face.
In an Instagram post on Tuesday, De Leon shared a photo of her wearing a hospital gown with the hashtag #BellsPalsy. “I’d smile but my face is not moving,” she said.
In another post on Wednesday evening, De Leon said she had to wear an eye patch on her left eye as her eyelids were “not properly closing.”
“Something might poke it at ikabulag ko pa. I cannot risk it. May bells palsy na bulag pa. Good night guys! Take care and stay healthy please. Don’t be like me. God bless you,” she said.
In a Facebook comment, the actress said she had to undergo MRI to rule out fears of stroke, which Bell’s Palsy is sometimes being mistaken for.
