Hello Everyone,

In October 2012, I was 18, and I caught 2 different viruses. The first one made it to where it hurt to be in the light, even soft light. The second was more like the flu. Within 3 weeks of the first virus, I became legally blind. I had 20/20 vision before. In November of 2012, I was diagnosed with bilateral optic neuritis. I couldn't really see for about 3 months, even with the IV steroid and pill treatments. In May of 2013, I was given the thumbs up for being cured of my optic neuritis. I was asked to go back to the ophthalmologist in a year for another MRI and check-up. I am now 20 and I just had my check-up. She said I didn't have any new lesions on my brain scan. She didn't explain what that meant though. She also said there wasn't any MS. But the fact that she said there was still lesions still concerns me. Do I need to think about seeing another doctor or should I just be happy she said I didn't have MS? Someone please help me...

P.S. - I feel also to help you should know that later in May of 2013 I was diagnosed with Major Depression Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I've been on 4 different anti-depressants since then, and still haven't found one that works. I'm constantly tired and sleeping. And I have no motivation to do anything. I dropped out of college, and my life consists of working and sleeping. I work as a janitor. Any answers will help please.
