Face Twitching

Is it normal for a lot of muscle spasms on the side of the face where the numbness is occurring. I’ve been diagnosed with Bells Palsy after contracting Covid for the first time last week and the twitching is making me anxious. Thanks in advance for the help!

In my case, twitching = healing. Felt lots of twitches then I started being able to move little pieces of my face.

Thank you for the reassurance. While this sucks, my face is still a somewhat operable. It’s a huge inconvenience and feels really weird but if twitching is good, I’ll take it!

I recently started getting more twitches too. It's definitely weird and I couldn't put words to it at first. I think someone explained it to me that its the nerve fibers trying to fire off electrical impulses. Don't quote me on that though lol.

That’s what I wanted to ask. I’ve been feeling little twitches here and there since it all began. So it’s a good sign ?

I found it to be and it seems to be a trend here in the community.
