Justin Bieber revealed that he was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome.
The condition has led Justin to cancel his shows. From the video, Justin said,
As you can probably see by my face… I have this syndrome called Ramsay Hunt Syndrome…and it is from this virus that attacks the nerve in my ear and my facial nerves and has caused this side of my face to have paralysis.
As you can see my eye is not blinking, I can’t smile on this side of my face. This nostril will not move.
Ramsay Hunt Syndrome Type 2
Ramsay Hunt Type 2 is a reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus in the geniculate ganglion.
The geniculate ganglion is where the facial nerve originates and supplies the muscles that move the facial muscles for facial expression, the tongue (taste), and the salivary glands.
Shingles of the geniculate ganglion can lead to difficulty moving the facial muscles for singing, drinking, and closing the eyes. And since the salivary glands are affected, it may also lead to a dry mouth. (Hard to talk or sing with a dry mouth)
The geniculate ganglion also supplies the muscles of the palate and pharynx needed for singing and the stapedius muscles necessary for hearing. (Can’t coordinate with the band.)
Ramsay Hunt Type 2 can also cause deafness (which Justin mentioned) and vertigo (spinning sensation).
Shingles
Shingles is a reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus that causes chickenpox. After a chickenpox infection, the virus lies dormant in nerve tissue in the body. During that time, the varicella-zoster virus prevents the immune system from getting rid of it.
In times of decreased immunity, the viruses start to replicate and cause an infection of the nerve where it was lying dormant. Once it reactivates, it affects that nerve function and can cause pain.
If the nerve affected supplies the skin, it manifests as the typical shingles rash.
If the nerve does not supply a part of the skin, no rash may be seen; however, the function of that nerve or ganglion (cluster of nerve cell bodies) will be affected.
Shingles should be treated right away with antivirals and steroids. The outcome is generally good, and hopefully, Justin will be able to resume his career after a few months of rest. (I don’t know any JB songs.)
Sidenote: Monkeypox is caused by a Poxvirus and is NOT related to chickenpox.
Is it from the COVID vaccine?
It is hard to say for sure, but Ramsay Hunt Syndrome after the COVID shot was reported in the British Medical Journal and Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica from Spain.
A letter to the editor in response to the article in the Spanish journal proposed that autoimmunity and hyperviscosity of the blood might explain the RHS after COVID vaccination.
Can shingles happen after the COVID shots?
As of June 3, 2022, there are 13,997 shingles reported after COVID-19 “vaccinations” on OpenVAERS.com.
