Hi Everyone, I just found this site and joined today. I am 34 and was diagnosed with MS when I was 21. I am doing fairly well. I just had a bout of optic neuritis though. I had an operation in Dec and I think the stress of it caused the flare up. I had the solu-medol infusions and then the steroid taper. My vision has improved but its still not back to the way it was before. I am hopeful though and honestly I am just glad it is only in one eye this time. =) . I have had a high white blood cell count for quite some time now and I am wondering if anyone has heard of a correlation between a high WBC count and MS. If so please let me know. Thanks, Jessica
