Dear Wife went through it. Hers lasted about 5 weeks. The first 2 weeks were the worst. She had to wear an eye patch since she couldn't blink in one eye.

@DoubleRings Yeah it can be a bit rough. Dear Wife wanted to just stay in bed or lay on the couch. No energy. The daughter's old Siamese cat was her constant companion.

@DoubleRings Yes she has no lingering effects. Funnily enough Dear Wife's cousin was recently diagnosed with Bells Palsy too.
