2001 Optic neuritis. Go blind suddenly - and fortunately temporarily - in one eye. Ophthalmologist sends me to neurologist. The neurologist tells me in a jovial tone to say that I have had optic neuropathy to insurers - if I say optic neuritis they’d put me down as having MS. MRI done. No follow up...

Hi im new to all this, i got diagnosed with MS last year and have just tried my best to carry on. I have had many of the symptoms for years and a rather big relapse but didn't seem understood back then lots of different tests. In the end just carried on dealing with it all, then i got optic neuritis...

Hello! I think I need advice from someone a bit more experienced than me. Does any of you have both glaucoma and MS? How do you get it diagnosed? After my recent optic neuritis (in march) my optician suggested a week ago that I might have glaucoma, but that she is not certain, as it damages nerves i...

Hello people I am a little new at this posting questions. But I thought I’d give it a go. Who better to ask than the ma community.

I was diagnosed with RRMS mid May 2020 at the age of 28. All rather shocking because the only symptom I've experienced is optic neuritis. It has been said that I need to start on Tecfidera next week. I'm feeling pretty anxious about this. More so because all my neurologist seems to say is 'No-one ha...

Does anyone else get this.... I am seeing double but only in my right eye pain under and to the back of my eye. Been of phone with the ms nurse she said it doesn’t sound optic neuritis or classic symptoms of. Please I Just want to know if I’m going mad or not

Sorry long post!! Finally got a diagnosis in March this year. Been a long haul from 2013. In the last 4 days I've had excruciating pain in my face and a banging headache. Back in 2013 it was optic neuritis I was diagnosed with but I ended up with more symptoms and everything got worse over the years...
