my mum recently got diagnosed with this condition and im trying to find all the information i can.

Any advice out there from any one else suffering from this ?

Has your mum been prescribed steroids? The main thing in the early stages is eye care. Here's links to some info:

It is normal to take some weeks to recover so your mum shouldn't be alarmed by slow progress. If she has not made a good recovery by 8-12 weeks then she should seek referral to a specialist facial therapist.
