After the fact, I went back and did what you suggested. Turns out absolutely NOTHING about her was different, aside from the facial paralysis. Hmmm.

Well, I got panicked and went ahead and gave her the Causticum.....30X was all I had on hand and she had a couple of doses of that. Then I was able to get hold of some 30C (highest potency I could find on short notice) and she had one dose of that.

The paralysis was complete within 12 hours (usually takes 2-3 days). And within 24 hours, there was barely perceptible improvement (usually takes about a week).

So I think maybe that even treating her in a half-buttocked way with Causticum may have done the trick. Amazing.
