That is so wonderful, I hope he gets your eye problems figured out quickly and that something can still be done about it this far along.

Both of my parents had one of those tests when they needed to get cataracts removed. I got to watch my mom get hers. It was kind of interesting to watch.

Nope, just numbness, occasional wacky vision crap and occasionally some MS hug and spasticity.

Two lesions on the spine.

Symptoms of ON - pain on movement, afferent pupillary defect, giant blind spots that showed up on my visual field test.

Time and space, I had numbness in my hips and legs in April of that year, then I got the ON in august of that year, and then my feet both went numb and were burning, freezing cold and felt like I was wearing boots full of thumbtacks all at the same time. That was when I got the spinal MRI's and they found the two spinal lesions then.

I also think that the day that the neuro diagnosed me, he did a neuro check before he did the diagnosis, and there must have been some neurological weirdness going on in my body that day. Plus, I developed l'hermittes sign that week and it was bugging me that day.

So, do you know if is he still leaning towards a dx of optic neuropathy rather then optic neuritis?:

Actually I have never heard of an ultra sound of the eye. That would be a little scary! I would rather go for the MRI of the eye orbits....nothing touching my eye that way...

Hope I am not sounding short in my posts. I just had my first injection of Avonex today and am not feeling 100% myself. I feel bad for Julie. I know how difficult it was for me waiting.

He said in the office he thought it was optic neuritis or retrobulbar and than his wife (the other Dr in the office that I saw) also said she thought it was optic neuritis.

Have you ever had an opthalmologist test the pressures in your eyes? It's similar to that.

Glad you got the appt. But just wanted to add, that when my DH needed his follow up with a Neuro Ophl. from his brain rgery we thought there were no Neuro Ophl in my insurance. We had just switched to my insurance. Turns out there was, but they DID approve his seeing the doc he initally saw because it was a f/u appt. BUT only that one time.

I see a neuro ophl too. So its worth a try to ask permission BEFORE the appt so that your insurance WILL cover this appt. Make sure ok?

Good luck

Will be following how you are doing

Yes. Everytime I go to the eye doctor, which has been a lot this year. There is glacoma in my family. My mom actually. Oh yes..... and I hate that numb feeling.
