A friend of mine, an amazing fiddle player, had Bell's a couple of years ago. It went away after a few months and some medication. The medication made her a little off form, but other than that, she functioned pretty well.She didn't do much performing while she was recovering, but now she's doing fine and hasn't had any relapses that I know of. And she's playing her fiddle better than ever.
Hope you get better soon.
