Default Optic Neuritis. Argh...

I think I have it again. This time in the right eye. (left eye was the "bad" one for the longest time)

My right eye has kind of hurt for awhile when I move it side to side. Doesnt really hurt now, but it's blurry and when I try to read I get the double image of text below what I'm trying to read.

I think the eye pain started right after I had that annoying pain in and in front of my ear and down the side of my cheek. It moved from there to the eye. I was thinking it wasnt an optic nerve problem, but maybe a mild TN problem, but now I'm wondering if it went from the TN to the optic nerve. (geeze, I really HATE MS)

I had an appointment for LAST monday to go see the eye doctor, but we were having a little blizzard at the time and I didnt want to make my dad drive me in all the ice and snow.

Oh, and I'm back to drunk walking again, not as bad as last month, but it was mostly gone until today. Legs are numb again, and I have spasticity going around my ribcage tonight that's a bit uncomfortable.

Those oral steroids didnt last long. (finished them on Dec 23rd) If I wasnt afraid of screwing up my bones, I'd ask for more. (but now that I think I have ON, I better not take any more oral pred)

Why does MS have to be so annoying. It's something new about every 8weeks!! Someone tell the MS to stop picking on me!


I've been feeling kind of sick for the last couple of days, like a low grade stomach problem. (no puking, but problems in another area) and up until about an hour ago, I thought that was cured, but now I'm starting to feel really sick again. Just dont feel good. Cant wait till monday, calling the neuro AND the eye doctor.
