I've had double vision for 9 years. For a long time the prism glasses mostly helped except when I overextended myself--and then everything got worse. I've been on various treatments for less than 1 1/2 years.

Prednisone helped some, but then the doctor didn't want me to stay on it long-term. My first IVIG treatment last year (while on prednisone) totally cleared up my vision for only a few short days, then back to seeing double. I am now getting a 2nd IVIG treatment. I had 2 days of IVIG last week that helped immensely with the muscle weakness. I'm scheduled to have 2 more days this week. My neurologist hopes that it'll help my double vision. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I've tried Imuran and wasn't able to tolerate it--my white count dropped down too low. My dr. is talking about starting me on cyclosporine.

Hang in there. Everyone is different in terms of how they respond. Keep us posted on how you're doing.
