I agree. If it hurts that bad go to the ER. When I had ON in august 2006, the night before I developed the blind spots in my eye, I had such horrible pain in my eye, I probably should have gone to the ER, but it was such a bad pain, I couldnt even get up off the bed to go ask my dad to drive me to the ER.

When I got the blind spots, I had to close my left eye to be able to read anything.

I agree with all that has been posted. You NEED to get some treatment and that may include you specifically asking for an IV pulse of steroids. At this point it sure can't hurt you.

With these numerous and observable symptoms I don't know why your neuro isn't asking for more testing to be done. Seems like the reasonable path to me.

#7 here! If the pain is that bad you need to be seen today. February 14th is a long ways away when you are in pain. If you can't get in to the neuro-ophthalmologist then certainly go to the ER.

Let us know how things are going for you.

Default update
Still hanging the same. Thank you for all the information and confirmation of symptoms. I kind of like Cherei's (terible speller) idea. I am a conservative type of person and do not want IV steroids, but get really nervous when the vision is affected. That is a wonderful website with good research.
I am not having severe pain in the eye other wise I would have been parked in the dr office without an appointment or in the ER.
