The two questions on my list that I've collected from the forum so far are this and also the other one concerning any value of doing steroids for ON other than to hasten recovery.

Okay, back to Joelle.
My ophthalmologist told me that sometimes you can have a really serious and obvious case of optic neuritis that might not show up on an MRI. He told me that it was obvious at the time that I had ON because of all the symptoms (pain in the eye when moving the eye, color blindness, ginormous blind spot in the eye that they mapped out with the blinky light "game".)
