Wilson said she was treating the palsy with acupuncture, and that she had dealt with the condition before, on the right side of her face.

"Remember I go public because its gonna help someone else with same thing," she wrote.

On Tuesday, 12 days after the diagnosis, Wilson said her smile was "70 percent back!" and that her kids were keeping her laughing.

The singer, daughter of Beach Boys star Brian Wilson, has often been public about her health issues, including a struggle with her weight.
