Optic Nueritis
I recently dx by nuero optho with ON. Had MRI etc, was told I did not need to treat. No MS, tumor or stroke. I am 48 and male in very good health. was also told too old for MS. I was told to ride it out, it is getting a bit better, but is it normal to not be prescribed meds?
NOT too old for MS! I presented with ON when I was 44. Did not have any typical MS lesions.
Was diagnosed when I was 45 because of a second bout of ON.
Just recently had an LP that showed 14 O bands! Had a definite diagnosis of MS. I am 47 now.
As I look back over the past few years I can now see the subtle signs of RRMS.
Maybe you have MS, maybe you don't. Just don't buy that You are TOO OLD statement.
