'Can't smile on this side of my face': Bieber suffering from Facial Paralysis 'Can't smile on this side of my face': Bieber suffering from Facial Paralysis

Popular singer Justin Bieber revealed to his Instagram followers that he is  suffering from a rare syndrome called Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, which causes facial paralysis.

Justin Bieber put out a video on Friday, June 10, explaining the disorder and captioned it “IMPORTANT PLEASE WATCH. I love you guys and keep me in your prayers”.

According to the Mayo clinic, Ramsay Hunt Syndrome attacks facial nerves and is caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox.

He shows his fans how, due to partial paralysis, he can hardly move the right half of his face in the video.

He said, “As you can see from my face, I have this syndrome called Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, and it is from this virus that attacks the facial nerves in my ear and causes paralysis.”

In the video, he further shows how one of his eyes isn’t blinking. “I can't smile on this side of my face. This nostril will not move. So there's full paralysis on this side of my face,” says Justin in the video.

He further says, “This is pretty serious, as you can see. I wish this wasn't the case, but, obviously, my body's telling me I've got to slow down. I hope you guys understand. I'll be using this time to just rest and relax and get back to a hundred percent so that I can do what I was born to do."

He also stated that he has no idea how long it will take for him to recover. He also stated that he was doing facial exercises to regain his appearance.

The singer, on the other hand, maintains a positive outlook on his situation.

Towards the end of the video, he says, “It will go back to normal. We just don’t know how much time it is going to take. It's going to be okay. I trust God and this is all for a reason. I just don’t know why right now.”

I’ll be using this time to just rest and relax and get back to a hundred percent, so that I can do what I was born to do,” said Justin Beiber.

Justin's 3-minute video garnered a whopping 14 million views in only a few hours. There were also thousands of comments wishing and praying for him to get better.
