I found this as part of a NMSS brochure on vision. I was looking to see if ice would be helpful with the pain you are experiencing. It's a PDF file so I can't cut and paste the article. But here is a link to the NMSS search of ON. http://nationalmssociety.org/search-...start=0&num=20

And this is part of the brochure titled "Vision Problems - The Basic Facts"

"There is little information on the effectiveness of complementary therapies for vision problems, but some people report relief from vitamin B-12 shots during an optic neuritis episode. “We know optic nerve function depends on vitamin B-12 and folate,” said Dr. Thomas R. Hedges, III , professor of Ophthalmology and Neurology at Tufts University School of Medicine and
the director of Neuroophthalmology at the New England Medical Center. “I encourage people to take multivitamins."

I thought this was interesting and worth posting. Do you take vitamin B-12? A multivitamin?
