I know of two people who have it and have heard of one who suddenly for no known reason had it go ~~. When I was a child there was a saying if you pulled a sour face it could be frozen in place this was related to bells palsy.

I just got it about three months ago. The muscles on the right side of my face had tightened up and my face sagged downward. I thought I was having an allergic reaction to something I ate or drank and my family thought I was having a stroke due to my being overweight.
I was taken to the Emergency Room and was told it could be one of three things causing it. Diabetes,stroke,or stress.
After a CAT scan and some blood tests,the first two were ruled out. It was the stress.
It's a pain because you have no control over your facial muscles and my right eye won't close all the way. I have to tape it shut and constantly use artificial tears to keep it moist and clean.
I've got to where eating or drinking in public is out of the question due to everyone staring at me like as if I was a little kid dropping food or my drink on my shirt.
Even at home,I'd rather just go into my bedroom and eat alone. But it's going away with medication and therapy and hopefully I'll be back to normal. Except all the women in my family got together and decided I need to join a gym,lol.

Not sure hooow that's a question, but if it's a "What is..." then it's a condition where the facial nerveon one side of the face becomes paralysed due to infection or stroke.
