ealth problems have never been an issue of concern for Sarah Poquette, daughter of Richard and Colleen "Cleen" Poquette. But recently Poquette has been diagnosed with a somewhat rare neurological condition called Bell's Palsy named after a Scottish surgeon of the same name who studied the condition.
The condition leaves it's victims with one side of the face paralyzed but is not life threatening, it's existence is known to all who have contact with the victim as the face is "droopy" on the affected side. The good news is that it is not permanent, and Sarah could
be free of the symptoms in a few weeks or months. Rarely do the symptoms last more than a year, and the condition is not contagious.
Local religious leaders are calling this development "a message from God, for Sarah to denounce her dark beliefs and return to her faith" but Poquette has not responded to their outcry. Sarah is ignoring the local religious factions and instead she has stocked up on items such as eye of knute and dog bane from her favorite ebay wiccan store to make a poultice.
Bells Palsy is caused by trauma to the 7th cranial nerve and one out of about 5,000 people have this condition at some time during their life. It usually affects older people but children, and wiccan's are not immune. Little or no treatment is necessary for the condition to leave the body nor is there any known cure. Those who have experienced the condition are not guaranteed immunity from having the neurological condition strike again, in fact their chances are higher than those who have never had it.
