My husband recently suffered with this , his face has returned to normal but 3 months on he is still suffering with dizziness when walking , does anyone else have any experience of this and how long it takes to recover from this ?

No experience or advice UP but I do thank you for spelling out the illness you're discussing instead of using initials and expecting everyone to understand.
I'm sure there will posters along to help.

Thanks for that message it’s good to know the dizziness went away eventually, luckily my husbands face returned to normal fairly quickly .
