Sending Kim good vibes for a successful recovery. I've heard it may take some time for medications to work, but it should go away. Imagine it's more annoying for her. Don't know if she is experiencing pain or problems with speech, but she looks fine. Kim has a strong work ethnic and will work through this without any problem.

I do hope she realizes she needs to get plenty of deep sleep each night to keep her body healthy.

She's making it more obvious by holding up the clothing item in front of her face when she talks.

I love to watch Kim, she is such a hoot. I noticed her lip was not moving properly and wondered if she had been diagnosed with Bell's Palsy? I had gotten Bell's Palsy 5 years ago. It never has completely gone away. I still struggle with the lip and eye not moving the way that it is supposed to. It is an awful thing to go through when you loose the smile you once had. She looks great though and I wish her a full recovery. They say stress brings it on....I hope she takes it easy this year and does not sweat the small things. Keep your life as stress free as possible!!! You're beautiful Kim, just keep being you!!!

Bells Palsy is an off shoot from autoimmune disease. As with everything, inflammation will trigger and it can produce palsy in face or hands and feet in which may appear like a stroke. It can be healed from 3 to 6 months, however there is no cure. They prescribe steroids, and anti inflammatories. Also with AD, stress is a BIG factor along with inflammation in the body.

I work daily on these very issues. Requires a lifestyle change 

I have only come to know Kim in the past year they QVC, but she seems highly stressed.

That's nerves. Kim is obviously self-conscience about her appearance for the first time back on air. Most of us would feel that same way. She's doing the best she can under the circumstances. Don't judge, please.

Beautiful, thoughtful comment!  I only mentioned the need for deep sleep each night. Thanks for mentioning the effects of stress, which is huge! And, yes, I'm sure most of the many men/women regularly selling/showing items on QVC are under a lot of stress. Their constant goals, quotas, unusual hours, traveling, etc., must be stress-inducing on a daily basis. It's a job few people could endure for so many reasons (i.e. hours, spouse, family, friends, privacy, planned weekly meetings or University classes or bridge groups or exercise classes or volunteering, etc.)

I've always wanted more in life than work with a life around it! Life needs to be the priority IMO . . . not work.

Not to make light of anyone struggling with an illness, and I really enjoy her, and hope she continues a good recovery... But how weird a coincidence is it that she got "Belle's " Palsy??

@Skyegirl21   I was thinking the same thing.  Even though the spelling is different.

Years ago I had a mild case of Bell's Palsy.  Took prednisone for awhile I think.  It eventually went away with no ill effects.

Thank you for sharing your story @kaydee50.

Am happy that you recovered and will pray the same for Kim.

Skyegirl21:   I'm sure Kim would like that word similarity.......If she thinks of it, shemight even make a humorous comment out of it.   She's a very positive, humorous person.
