Hi everyone;
I am a little more that 4 years since I got facial paralysis from my AN surgery. I have had a lot of dreams where I have seem my smile back. When my husband and I were dating he used to tell me that my beautiful smile made him fall in love with me at first sight. Well, he only enjoyed my beautiful smile a little time, because I had the AN surgery 6 months after we got married. He still tells me that I am beautiful but I would like to be able to show him a pretty smile. He says that I critic to much about myself, but no matter how hard he tries to make me feel better, the truth is that I have an ugly smile, ugly enough to depress me everytime I look at my face in the mirror. Probably that is the reason why I have had a lot of dreams where I see myself smiling like before the AN trip. The other night after having one of those dreams (which seemed so real) I got up from bed and went running to the mirror to look at my face... sadly, it was just a dream...
I have had a lot ot accupunture treatments. I started with three treatments/week and ended up having treatments every day, six days/week, but it seemed that I was not improving, so I got tired of being a pin cushion
and I gave up.
After searching a lot and almost have read all your comments about Jackie Diels, I am considering having an appointment with her. If you have had teraphy with Jackie, could you please tell me how much did you recover? I just want to have a decent smile where is not too obvious that I have facial paralysis, it is fine if I have a bit crooked smile like those beautiful asymmetrical faces of celebrities (just daydraming).
I have read about a lady who keeps visiting Jackie Diels for about 9 years or so. Does it mean that I have to do follow up appointments with her for the rest of my life? That would be hard for me considering that I live in California. Also, I have read that the treatments take about 2 and 1/2 days, how many hours/day? I saw Debbi's pictures (before/after), she looks awesome!. Have anyone else had great results? Maybe pictures.?
Thanks in advance for your comments,
All best,
Gloria
