bells palsy and ulcerative colitis

[ef123]

hello in april of 2010 I ended up getting ulcerative colitis and then in jan of this year I just got bells palsy. I was wondering if anybody has the same or had the same thing go on.

I was diagnosed with Ulcerated Colitis on October 26, 2011 and then diagnosed with Bell's Palsy on January 26, 2012. Since BP and UC can have immune system components, there must be a correlation!

@ef123 hi, In september of this year i was diagnosed with crohns . i had a bad flare up during the end of january.  A week later, I got bells palsy. Never get a break here i feel like. I do think they are connected some how, it is just too ironic. How are you doing with yours?
