I used to buy things without taking a sample because I could recall the color to perfection. I now can put two colors side by side and have difficulty making sure they match. lol I notice that some flashing colors, like on TV bother my left eye some and bright lights. I wear sunglasses indoors when I go in a brightly lit building.

I had infusions earlier in the year to help with the pain, vision, etc. It didn't help...finally I was sent to an opthamologist that specializes in MS vision issues. I took several steroid eye drops, antibiotic drops and another drop for over a month. Now, I still have some blurred vision, even with my glasses.

His assistant did tell me that I only needed reading glasses. I've worn prescript glasses for thirty plus years. I'm just thankful for right now...all my testing is done, over, no more. lol The last test was an angiogram which was clear, no vasculitis. yah...

Hope you don't have another ON attack, those are more than painful.lol

I missed you too, my lil SallyC...I think the C stands for curls. Sally with the Curls, that's what I think of when I see your name. lol
My most recent attack was on my 6th cranial nerve...I think it's one of the nerves responsible for specific eye movements.

My neuro didnt even ask if I wanted an MRI, he knows I'm claustrophobic and it's kind of obvious that the CN6 was the culprit, why spend the $$ just to get pictures of something that I can/could already "see"....that there's probable lesion on that nerve.

I spent the money on the out-patient IV steroids and the fine cuisine of the local hospital's kitchen. (they make good garlic bread!)
