Justin Beiber was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome and has had to cancel his shows because half his face isn't working and he's obviously got some ataxia too, impaired speech. His blinking is asynchronous which looks derpy.

First of all, I want to say I'm not cheering or dancing on his grave or anything by posting this speculation. I am not a fan of Justin Beiber, but I also have no reason to wish him anything other than a fast recovery.

Shingles is no joke, my dudes. I have had shingles, also on my face, on my temple and on my upper and lower eyelids and its incredibly painful and takes clearly over a month to recover (post herpetic neuralgia and/or trigeminal neuralgia and/or herpetic opthalmia). Luckily, I was able to care for it much better than a millionaire (knowledge > power), and recovered very quickly. I may have discovered a novel treatment for it which I'll say in the comments should you be interested.

Ramsay Hunt syndrome is from shingles affecting the facial nerve near the ear, and it's basically an infection and nerve damage to the ear and face.

Shingles is caused by chickenpox which we all have, but it's an HERV an human endogenous retrovirus that stays with you your whole life. Like HIV or Genital Herpes, it writes itself into your DNA and its there forever.

It manifests when your immune system is weak. Shingles doesn't usually attack people until they are over 50 yrs old. Beiber is much younger than that. Why is he getting it, and why now?

I think he got the vaccine and I think the vaccine is weakening his immune system. And i think also that is why there is an epidemic of shingles in the news; because people have developed VAIDS and are starting to have HERVs manifest. Also I think that reexposure to shingles re-activates shingles. My stepmother got shingles just before I did. She's had the jabs, and I haven't.
