At first, I didn\u2019t take it seriously, but my concerns grew after returning from Kilifi. I started experiencing fever, body weakness, and what seemed like a pimple on my lips, which I initially dismissed as a flu. I tried self-medication but eventually sought medical attention when the pain became unbearable,\u201d<\/em> she said.<\/p>\n<p>Annitah says she went to a hospital where she was prescribed a cream that triggered adverse side effects.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAt the hospital, I was given a cream, which, unfortunately, triggered a reaction that resulted in numerous blisters resembling burn wounds. The excruciating pain led to a spike in my blood pressure, which ultimately caused Bell\u2019s Palsy, which affected the nerves on the right side of my face. It\u2019s worth noting that Bell\u2019s Palsy can have various causes, and in my case, it was primarily due to the elevated blood pressure, which in turn placed pressure on my facial nerves,\u201d<\/em> she explained.<\/p>\n<p>Annitah also opened up about the most challenging moments she faced during her battle with the neurological disorder that usually resolves on its own within six months.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe day I posted a photo, I started receiving \u201cRest in peace\u201d messages in my DMs. That\u2019s when it hit me hard that I was truly unwell. I got so upset that I was unable to feed properly,\u201d<\/em> she said.<\/p>\n<p>Adding: <em>\u201cI experienced a profound sense of disconnection from my own identity to the point where I shaved my hair. Initially, it was so hard to even face the camera. I wasn\u2019t confident enough to even look at myself. I used to conceal my appearance with a cap, but gradually, I began to accept my new appearance. Some said I had cancer and I was bombarded with numerous theories.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>She also mentioned that the condition changed her relationship with God.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThis illness has forced me to view my relationship with God in a new light. It was a period of introspection, silence, and learning. I voluntarily took a hiatus from social media to avoid external influences. I chose to speak about my experience when I felt emotionally prepared to handle people\u2019s reactions and comments.\u201d<\/em> Said Annitah.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After months of grappling with Bell\u2019s Palsy, a condition that temporarily paralyzed one side of her face, media personality Annitah Akiru Raey has fully recovered.
