Re: how long does your typical relapse last?

I have had relapses last anywhere from 2 weeks to 3-4 months. When I say "last" I mean that there is continuous decline for that period of time. The time period in which I'm dealing with the decline, well you could say it has been indefinite. I have had severe relapses where the degenerati...

Re: Eye Pain in Left Eye

I had pain in my eye when I had optic neuritis. First came the blurry vision in that eye and then my eye would hurt whenever I would move it to look upwards. If I was looking straight ahead it did not hurt. But.. Everyone's symptoms are different. And urologist would be able to tell if you do have o...

Re: Optic neuritis - better at night??

Hey LR1234, Yes, ON is crappy.... I felt like I could tolerate my MS symptoms prior to ON and didn't feel like it really affected me all that much until this. I really hope that it recovers for both of us. The blind spot in my left is quite large as well. The ones in my right are smaller but there a...

Re: Optic neuritis - better at night??

Ahha, I was wondering what happens I. The body around that time of night... Hoping it would be something I could supplement or something in the morning. Boo to cortisol! I'm pretty sure cortisol is what got me in the MS mess to begin with! :-) I have been followed by an opthamologist. I have had two...

Optic neuritis - better at night??

Has anyone had this?? I have been battling optic neuritis since March 2009 with improvement and then another worsening. One thing that puzzles me (I have MS.... Who am I kidding??? Everything puzzles me!!!) is that my vision is terrible all day and then from about 8PM until I go to sleep it is nearl...

Supplements, diet, and optic neuritis

Hi there, I'm hoping to get some feedback on my regime. I'm battling optic neuritis (original flare was in March 2012 with improvement but not full recovery and then a worsening in December). I exercise 5x a week for 45 minutes (running, elliptical, biking) plus 2x a week yoga I eat gluten & dai...

Re: Help me, please. I can't take it anymore.

We have all been there; diagnosis limbo is not fun. But the worst thing that you can do is stress intensely about it. Personally, stress is the only trigger that I have for exacerbations or new symptoms. So as someone said... Calm down, take a deep breath and focus on the positive things in your lif...

Re: Self injection FREAK OUT

I know the feeling! I have the exact same difficulty with my avonex injections. Tapering up to the full dose with the syringes was bad. I actually only had the balls to do two myself. The other two I had my sister (who is a nurse) give them to me in the behind (it hurt much less and I didn't suffer ...
