According to my records, this will be my 22nd episode of ON in the last nine years.
I'm scheduled to have a Kenelog injection in my right eye this Monday..DRATS...my doc. is out of town until then. He's the only one I trust to do this. I do have another doc. that could do it (even today if I called.)

Did I mention that I'm blind in my left eye? I lost the vision 10 years ago, it was my first SX of MS.

I have the most relentless, visious ON. My body is heck bent on ruining my vision. It will just NOT go away for longer than three months.
I find it ironic that my wife and I make eyeglasses for a living. On the lighter side note, I do have immediate access to the best eye Docs in town.

Out of all my SX's, I find losing my vison the worst, even more so than the pain I feel.

Anywhoo, here comes the needle...it's kinda like outta the twilight zone. It's really creepy to have done, but it's really not that bad.

I'm just REALLY tird of it all.

That sucks, James - and, OUCH!

Twenty-two episodes of ON!?!?!?



Holy carp!

I think I'm only on my third (going to the eye doctor to find out in about a half hour...hopefully it's just eyestrain)

22 eps of ON in 9yrs...that's about 2 1/2 episodes of ON a year. (did the math, it was 2.4 with a long string of "4's" repeating on my calculator)


I'm getting really anxious for the scientists to hurry up and develop the Star Trek healing gizmo thingamajig that will cure MS someday.

Twenty two episodes of ON OMG I feel for you James believe me . I've had only one episode of ON this was my first symptom of MS.

Sorry to hear you're going throught this.

I've had ON about 7 or 8 times.........nowhere near the number of times you've been "hit"and I do understand how precious that right eye is to you. My DH is blind in one eye (from birth) so that one and only seeing eye is rather special to us both.

I'd be terrified of a needle into my eyes, but if it meant saving my vision or not, I'd be having one just like you.

Get well soon Jamesnns.

James,

I am sorry to hear about this....I hope the shot helps you. Sounds awful though....

I have to agree with you about your eyesight....the thought of being blind is scary to me.

I hope all goes well. Let us know.

Sorry, you're going through this. This stuff really sucks

Two hours and counting...

God, I hope this goes well. It alwsys has in the past except for one time when it took my two weeks to recover. The drug disperesd and blinded me for two weeks until the drug disipated.

I can't see diddlly

more later...

Good luck Jamesnns. We'll be thinking of you.

OK, 1 day later. Lots of goppy stuff, which is mormal but overall, MUCH better. The drug did not disperse so that's a relief. I can vevn read the computer screen with my reg. glasses. It's a little hard but OK. I imagine that within 4-5 days I'll be back to 20/20.

Thank God for good Docs.


Yeah!!!, well until next timew that is....LOL

Thanks all for your support, it means a lot to me.
