Hello Everyone
 

Hi, I'm a part-time student in college and I also work part-time (and trying to become full-time to pick up some summer hours.) I'm engaged to a half-wonderful half-frusterating guy.

I've never had any real health concerns, at least until this past February and early March. There was a flickering "strobe light" in my left eye, and my periphral vision was impaired. I was referred to a retinal specialist by my eye doctor. The retinal specialist diagnosed me with optic neuritis. My strobe is gone now, but I never quite recovered all of my periphral vision.

Anyway, I'm having some new concerns, and I don't really know if I should bother to see a doctor about it, so I'm really hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Hello Pippa, and welcome to NeuroTalk.

I see that you've already found your way to our General Health & Rare Disorders Forum, but if there's anything else we can help you with, please let us know.

I'm however wondering if you may need to see a Neurologist after what you've described to us. Has this option been mentioned to you yet? Maybe it's something you could discuss with your GP. It certainly wouldn't hurt.

Hello and welcome to NeuroTalk. Great to see you have come to be with us. You will find a great number of caring, supporting members here willing to help each other as they can.

Again welcome, looking forward to seeing you around.
