Hi Confused,

A mistake the treating doctor made --- Optic Neuritis should never be treated with oral Prednisone. The correct treatment for ON is IVSM (high dose IV steroids).

If your daughter's Neurologist is the same doctor who prescribed oral prednisone for her Optic Neuritis she needs a new Neurologist.

Before the steroids was her only symptom Optic Neuritis?
