The inflammation has gone down and she thinks what the films are showing should go away in the next MRI.

I wish that EVERYONE could have a doctor like this. It's amazing that she called me, just to say I'm on track. If anyone ever needs a good neuro-op in NYC, let me know!
Is your vision better now? If it is, how long did it take for things to improve?

I had ON in my left eye hit me in August of 2006. It took me the better part of a year to see improvement (10 months) and then a month or two after I hit the one year mark, was when my vision suddenly started to improve a lot more, and a lot faster.

I did get a second case of ON in the right eye, probably right about the time my left eye started to improve at the 10month mark. But that ON never gave me the big blind spots...just pain and some vision fuzziness, and some double vision when I look to the right without turning my head.
