DON'T do oral steroids, definitely.

ON will clear up on it's own, but it takes time. I have had symptoms of ON for several months at a time.

My Neuro-Opthalogist only recommeneds IV steroids if "all else fails", including letting nature take it's course.

The most important factor right now is treating the infection, Kelly. It might be too late though, as you need antibiotics for that ... cold and sinuse OTC meds don't cut it.

I have a Neuro appointment Monday afternoon. I've had it for a while - long before I got the ON - but I'll let him update my records with it. I'm sure he'll recommend the IVSM but even if I had the insurance to do it I wouldn't. It's just too hard on the bones. I'll save it for an emergency situation that hopefully will never happen.

I did call him Thursday and he called back and said that it surely did sound like ON and the only thing to speed up the healing is IVSM.

That is the one time I will agree to IVSM, when my eyes are in the mix. I am not messing with my vision. For a dragging leg, or a wobbly body, I will suck it up. I wish you had insurance. I really do.

Oh Kelly, I'm so sorry about all of it! I just now saw this thread . I hope it clears up quickly for you. I hope your neuro will prescribe antibiotics for you if he thinks you have ON and a sinus infection. You definitely don't need to pay for two doctor visits.

Let us know what he says after your appointment .
