I was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt on April 1, 2001. Treatment with antivirals was started right away but the damage spread for the next week. I developed Vertigo and paralysis of half my head similar to Bells Palsy. After 3 weeks the Palsy started to diminish towards my ear. After two months I have very partial paralysis of my face but the Vertigo continues on. I suppose it will take 4 months to 4 years from everything I have read. One thing I learned was to continue my everyday activities and challenge my balance and vertigo as rest will only prolong the recovery.
