I am 45 year old male was taking sulfasalazine 500 mg. & methotrexate 7.5 mg. Once in a week with folic acid. Per day since 2010 almost regularly. On march 03 I was attacked by facial palsy and e.n.t. Specialist prescribed me prednisolone 20 mg. X 3 tab b.d. In tapering for one month in the last it was 5 mg. Per day. And previous treatment is stopped by the doctor. Now facial palsy is almost recovered but due to lighten I am can't go to doctor and I feel some symptoms of rheumatic arthritis like joint pain. What can I do?

Hello Harshal. My suggestion is to start homoeopathic medicine. As allopathic treatment will not cure it and will cause many side effects.

You can restart you previous medication with proper consulation. Facial palsy usually recovers with time. U might need to continue the facial muscle exercises. I ver rare occasions ther can reoccur. By the way have done any nerve conduction studies of facial nerve and blink refkex. They sometimes used to predict the prognosis.
