Im having a major flare up. The left side of my face went numb a month ago, and a week ago, I began experiencing Optic neuritis in my left eye. Now I feel like im getting a cold, and 2 days ago I began experiencing Vertigo. I feel super weak and feel like im gonna drop to the floor every 10 min.
My doctor seems too busy to get back to me, he did order an MRI last week and Ive taken 5 days of oral steroids, but things are just getting worse. I want to avoid any permanent damage to my eye. Any advice?
Thanks

I'm definitely not a professional, but if memory serves me correctly, the IV steroids seem to work best for Optic Neuritis (versus oral).
With that said, truth or not, vision is one element you don't want to mess with. You certainly don't want to permanently damage your eye! Things can get worse before they get better on steroids (from my experience), but where the eye's involved, I say it's best to contact your doctor asap for a follow up.
