All of my "medical madness" (thats what I call all of this :P ) started with Optic Neuritis. 3 weeks after giving birth to my second son I started getting pain when I would look up, down, left, right. And within 3 days I was completely blind in both of my eyes. I'm not sure if it's just the area I live in or if I was just a rare case, but none of the doctors I saw could figure out what was wrong with me. They first treated me for pseudo tumor, realized it wasn't that, then FINALLY after 2 months of complete blindness I was referred to a MS specialist who started me on IV solu-medrol. I got 3, 5 day courses of it and they told me the damage to my optic nerves were so bad that I would most likely not be able to see very well again. But after the third course had fully taken effect my vision had gotten fully restored. I believe the solu-medrol is the BEST thing that could be given for the optic neuritis, if it weren't for me getting those 3, 5 day courses I wouldn't be able to see my kids and everything else!
