A mother has told how a bout of severe shingles left her face paralysed - giving her a 'permanent resting grumpy bitch face'. 'I look like a miserable cow with a permanent resting bitch face even when I'm trying to smile. The virus becomes reactivated after laying dormant for years and causes inflammation and irritation on the facial nerves. Doctors told her the facial nerves would recover at a rate of 1mm per day and she was off work sick for eight months. She can now close her right eye but has to remember to blink when it gets dry because she can't feel it.
