My mom has contracted this virus 2 times and both times she spent some time at the wellness Center in Orange County California. I can show you before and after pictures and you would be amazed! She is not the same as before she had the virus, but her improvement is remarkable. And the way she feels internally after the time spent at the wellness center is well worth the money!!

I have had Ramsey Hunt Syndrome for over 4 years now. I have been very lucky because the QVH in East Grinstead have been wonderful. To date l have had 13 operations to help with my facial disfigurement. They have made a huge improvement and l can now face the World. My biggest problem is that people think because my looks have improved, l am better, I still suffer from fatigue and vertigo and muscle loss. Because little is known about it people shrug the illness off. I have now joined many local clubs in my Village and this does help. l know it's for life, so my answer is to put a half big smile on it and do what you can when you can.

The day my life changed forever is exactly 2 years ago. I hate the way I look and dread looking like this for another 20 years. I do try to get on with life, but lots of days are still a hurdle. Have had acupuncture, and do facial exercises daily and every 3 months get a couple of little Botox shots. However no improvement over the last year. The general feeling I get is that it's not painful or life threatening, so get on with it. Would do anything to be able to smile, talk and eat properly again.
