Hey all,
from a month i woke up finding a big blind spot in my right eye without any pain or headache or any other symptoms, i went to the ophthalmologist and he told me that everything's fine with my eye there's nothing wrong and he told me that's "probably" an Optic Neuritis so transferred me to a neurologist who requested a MRI+C which was normal too, then he said also that's "Probably” ON but he wasn't sure because he didn't see the Inflammation through the MRI and i started to take steroid pills (40 mg) per day but i wasn't so convinced that it's an ON because i didnt find myself suffering from its symptoms specially the pain and headache parts, so i went to another ophthalmologist who requested an "OCT" and he told me if there is any inflammation it will appear in it, i made it and found nothing also, the OCT was normal then he told me maybe there was a very Simple inflammation and it's gone but it takes up to 6 months to recover and to improve the sight and he advised me to continue on the steroid pills, now i am on steroid pills since 3 weeks and i didnt find any improvement, the blind spot is the same (20% of my right eye) but from reading about it i knew that in 85% i won't recover my sight again but i kept hoping that maybe i am from the 15% that do recover their sight after an ON
what really terrifying me now, what i read about the relation between ON and Multiple Sclerosis specially if you took Steroid pills (oral) as a treatment
specially i do suffer from problems in my immune system (Psoriasis) already, i really can't sleep from thinking about that and MS specially i read about many topics and many people suffered from MS after an ON and also many people suffered from ON many times again after treated from it!
i cant stop googling and reading and thinking about it, and how my future gonna be!
is there anyway to reduce the risk?
Thanks A lot in advance
