Just wondering whether someone with MS and fatigue (not taking any medication) would be considered in the "underlying health condition" risk category for corona virus?
Last August I started getting pain behind my eye, I'd lose a bit of red vision and it seemed dimmer, like a cloudy day vs a sunny day. The weird thing is that these symptoms switch between eyes.
My GP sent me to my optician: everything seemed fine except for having developed slight long-sightedness. I'd been used to perfect vision my whole life. I also get slight nystagmus (a brief side-to side eye wobble occassionally). I had one episode of vertically split vision after surgery.
My Neuro sent me for a Visual Evoked Potentials test and I'm waiting for results.
I just wanted to know if anyone has had vision related symptoms that move between eyes? I can't find anything about it.
Hi,
In your experience, does optic neuritis always result in some degree of sight loss or can it just be pain around the eye, bruise feeling to touch and pain when moving the eye?
Thanks,
Katie
Have you been reading the News items on this site? I am so glad that at last a rational, logical theory about the development of ms is being proposed. It makes sense to me that there is a viral explanation. I await with some anticipation the findings of the Inspire trial (part of the Charcot project). Hats off to Profs Gold, Pender, the 'mousedoctor' and their teams who have been able to think outside the box. So many have fallen by the wayside into paternalism, quackery or moneymaking, but not them!
Hi all,
About a month or so ago and after a scan they told me I have as the title says :(
To be honest I guess I am trying to ignore it, especially as one consultant said I should focus..no pun intended..on things that are ok and that I can do rather than dwell on what is wrong.
With mine its a greyness or fading in my right eye which is there most of the day, gets worse with exercise or when I get hot, and gets better when cold, laying down, or drinking beer believe it or not!
The first consultant said there is nothing I can really do and it wasnt bad enough to have steroids and that is usually lasts a few months and then either goes away for good, hopefully, or if not I may have it like that forever :(
Only thing im taking is 1000 units of Vitamin D every day which she did say could help.
Is there anything else that I can take or can do to help that you guys may know about? as I obviously want this to get better :/
Many thanks in advance, and if this is in the wrong section please feel free to move :)
