Justin Bieber updates fans on his health status after revealing face paralysis

Justin Bieber said he has "gotten better" since being diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, and is leaning on his faith to navigate the "horrific storm." 

"I wanted to share a little bit of how I've been feeling," the pop star, 28, wrote in an Instagram post on Monday, three days after revealing he had a partially paralyzed face. 

"Every day has gotten better," he explained, "and through all the discomfort I have found comfort in the one who designed me and knows me. I remember that he knows everything about me. He knows the darkest parts of me that I don't want anyone to know and constantly welcomes me into his loving arms."

Bieber said his faith-filled "perspective" on the situation has given him "peace during this horrible storm [he] faces." 

"I know this storm will pass, but in the meantime, JESUS IS WITH ME," he reminded himself.

"At this point in my life I realize that storms come and go. Jesus keeps reminding me that he is with me in the midst of the storm,” the singer added.

Bieber announced his diagnosis with the rare neurological disorder on Instagram on Friday, shocking the music industry and beyond.

Ramsay Hunt syndrome is characterized by a painful rash around the ear, on the face or in the mouth, according to Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. It occurs when the varicella-zoster virus infects a nerve in the head and can sometimes cause paralysis. 

"As you can see, this eye is not blinking. I can't smile on this side of my face. This nostril won't move," the Grammy winner explained in a video, pointing to the motionless right side of his face 

"I'm going to get better, and I'm doing all these facial exercises to get my face back to normal, and it will get back to normal," he assured his fans. "It's just time, and we don't know how long it will be, but everything will be fine. I have hope, and I trust in God, and I trust that this is all for a reason.
