Default still no results

I still do not have any antibody results yet. I had my neuro visit. My evoc potential in my right eye was borderline, the brain MRI reading did not mention lesions. The neuro called it optic neuritis and put me on a non-steroid anti-inflamatory meds while waiting on the antibody results. It seems like he is leaning toward MS. I read somewhere that 50% of MS patients are first diagnosed with optic neuritis.

I guess the antibody results will be very delayed now because our area was hit so bad by the hurricane.

I feel I have enterred a deeper layer of limbo and I am not entirely certain I am heading in the right direction. I have my regular GP visit in 2 weeks and I am going to ask for a referral to a neuro-optomologist. Did anyone else go down this route?

thanks,
kathie
