I've had all of the issues you've described - they never lasted long and they came and went. As of right now, they've been gone for a few weeks - yay :) I've also had times when the left side of my face felt freeezzzzing cold - weird.
Neither I nor my family realized that I had Bell's Palsy (obviously, it was very mild). However, I once I repeated at home the cheek-puffing my LLMD had me do in his office, I saw the weakness on the left side of my face.....and I then had an explanation for the post-novacaine-type (numbness) feeling around the left side of my mouth that came and went.
Symptoms coming and going is classic Lyme.
And, you can obviously check for Bell's Palsy by doing what my LLMD had me do and do it in front of a mirror.
