I agree with Bearygood, whew! on your response about the steroids!

Did you call your opthalmologist today? I really hope you did and that you got it checked out.

I actually just got home from dinner, but just before I went to dinner with my parents, I was back at my opthalmologist's office. My right eye had bad headache pain behind it this morning, and it felt just like my left eye did the first time I had ON...only it was nowhere near the level of pain I had the first time.

Since it was friday, and since things were following almost the same course as the first time. (pain, fuzzy vision, blurred vision, and more intense pain) I decided to go get checked out again.

My optho said that he thinks I'm at the peak of the current ON, and that it might have some more blurred vision and pain over the weekend, but that I should start improving within the next couple of weeks. No blind spots, just pain and blurry/fuzzed up vision. (whew! I felt better after seeing the optho)

Can you call your opthalmologist over the weekend if you didnt today? My optho will actually open up his office over the weekend for one patient if there's an emergency. He and his techs told me this a few times during the three visits I had with them this week.

I had to cancel a physical therapy session for my knee so that I could go to the eye doctor. I figured my eyes are more important than my knees. I can always get a knee replaced, but I cant replace my eyes. I ignored my eye pain the first time I got ON. (I had no clue I had MS at the time) I'm trying to not ever ignore any problems with my eyes ever again. They're too important to me.

As soon as you can, call your opthalmologist.
