Thanks everyone. It's got a bit worse over the last few days, chewing food is difficult so certain foods I'm getting out the blender (blended steak and pasta, mmmm.) I now can't close my eye at all (it stays shut though if I press my eyelid down with my finger) ... but I've taken only a second dose of the steroids so I'm hoping i'll start to see some improvement soon! It's certainly made me take things easy.. i'm not particularly interested in doing work around the house or going out socialising, talking becomes tiring (especially words beginning with B !!)
Just got to keep reminding myself this is just a temporary inconvenience and something i'll just have to deal with if it's still around when bub comes!
