Default Annnnnnnnd it gets better!!!

I can't see very well so excuse any typing errors. Eyes are still dilated

I went to my opthalmologist, the one who first mentioned MS back in 2004 ( jerk..) and diagnosed the ON.

I haven't seen him since last year. To make a long story short, he did all the torture stuff, lights, dilation, colored flashlights, fingers, look here and there, etc.

Then after it was all over, he sat back and asked what I was on for treatment, I asked him why? He said he couldn't see anything wrong with my optic nerve, a nice healthy pink. He said my jumping eye stuff was gone, my colors are normal, my peripheral vision and all of the stuff that was wrong is completely GONE. He said he couldn't even find evidence of the scotoma that ****** me off for years. He said my eye muscles appear to be under MY control. He said I didn't even need a new scrip, that the one I have from 2003 is still in effect!!

So I told him aaaaaaaaall about Tysabri . He wrote it all down. He said he is sending a report to my neuro so that the neuro understands what he is seeing and that Tysabri IS working! He even made me do the walk up and down the hall and hop on one foot and all that!! And then, he shook his head and said...amazing!!

What a Christmas!!!
