I didn't have any pain with the O.N. It started with the feeling that my pupil wasn't expanding when I went outside into the light one morning when I got out of work, I went to sleep thinking it would get better and that I was just tired.
When I woke up that afternoon the whole right eye vision was just a gray mist, no details at all. I called my opthalmologist immediately and he had me in first thing the next morning. I had a bunch of tests and then he sent me for an MRI.
The report was back to his office before I could get there from across the street. He told me I was going back to the hospital for IVSM and I asked what he thought was wrong ( I was sure it was a brain tumor!) and he told me I think you might have MS.
He set up an appt. with a neuro immediately. It was all downhill from there. The ON did finally get better, but it was S-L-O-O-O-W...
