Good to see you back, Sue! Sorry you're having problems, though.

I have been having visual problems, too. My Neuro didn't put me on steroids because an MRI didn't show an active lesion. I am, however, taking Tecfidera and doing well on it.

Since my DH passed away and my kids are both grown and on their own it hasn't been the kind of problem for me like it is for you.

Visual issues are kind of different in that they affect everything you do. And prevent you from doing things that you could otherwise do with another type of disability. It's still frustrating for me even without a family to care for.

I hope your husband is being supportive and helpful. I know....it's still hard to not be able to do all that you feel you should be able to. I wish I had more helpful solutions for you.

My first episode of visual issues several years ago cleared up on it's own in about 12 weeks. Seemed like much longer, though.

I wish you a speedy recovery and try to be patient with yourself.

I'm sure others will come along with helpful suggestions soon.
