Dear Friends, I enjoyed your respones to why you think you have BEB.Many different theories.I wonder why I have HFS.I am told it is caused by an artery in my brain, above my ear putting pressure on the 7 th facial nerve.Why did it wait until I was 65 years old to start?I cannot come up with an answer. I am now 2 weeks past my last botox, and doing very well.Yes I know there is an operation for me, but I do not wish to go through it at the present time.Edith in Fl. where is was 80 today.
