My fifth day with Bell'sPalsy!

I am new to this whole issue. 5 days now. Taking the meds and hoping for the best. I have lots of twitching on the affected side which I hope is a good thing. I went back to work for one day and found it so stressful that I have now taken a week off. I had to cancel a music gig too! I work face to face with the public all day long. This can't go on indefinitely, so I need to find a way to cope! My boss is less than sympathetic. Tells me to " deal with it!" Ha! It's not happening to her...
This can be a life changer, I'm thinking. Hoping for a fast recovery. I sit and feel the twitches and it seems my life revolves around that hope right now! I have read some inspiring posts. I have been taking excellent care of myself. What else can I do?
My heart goes out to all of you experiencing this. I have only heard about it in the past. I don't think I've ever even seen anyone with this condition before. 
I am determined to turn this into a positive somehow. What else can I do? It is a process. I know I am stronger than I sound right now. Ranting...Need to get a grip on this.
