well, I have double vision in one eye. Both eye lids are swollen, and itchy. I feel like someone put their cigarette out in my right eye. When I cover my left, the right splits into two pictures.

I have my steroid drops, and steroid ointment, and I am going to do nothing that strains my eyes past this message board, my email, and a tiny bit of facebook. no TV, no real internet, and rest....just rest.

I am working hard to avoid IVSM as its so toxic and so harmful, but if its still kicked up after we come back from vaca on late thursday I will call on Friday to get it set up.

Its not the worst its ever been, but I certainly dont feel my best either.

Any advice?

I'm sorry Dej . I don't have any suggestions beyond the IVSM. That's what I did in the past for ON. I hope it clears up quickly. It is hellascious.

Just do what you gotta do to save your vision...take care of yourself hon

Sorry this has happened....especially right before vacation time. I remember ON and how painful it was. Resting your eyes is a good thing. I hope it clears up quickly.

Sorry this happened Dejibo. what is ivsm? steroids?

[Dejibo]

IV SM is intra venous solumedrol or steroids at 100x the rate of the pills they can give you. its a massive blow to your system to start such stuff, and I prefer to not do it unless I have to.

I was able to rest my eyes by allowing my DH to drag me around town like a blind woman. its a traffic stopper if you see a man and a blind woman in the cross walk at least.

things are on the mend.
