Hi everyone. I’ve been dealing with Optic Neuritis in my right eye since 2017, due to vision changes I’ve seen my Optometrist, 2 Opthamologists, a Retina Specialist and a Neuro-Opthamologist. All came to same conclusion that my changes in vision is not a problem with my eyes but that Optic Neuritis was the culprit. However 4 MRIs of my brain and cervical spine have showed no lesions only white matter hyperintensities on my last brain MRI.
Hello I am a 25 year old female and four weeks ago I was diagnosed with optic neuritis, I was admitted to the hospital for 5 days of IV solumedrol therapy (1000 mg a day). After the treatment my vision mostly came back and the eye pain was completely gone. At the same time I also had a burning arm pain in my right arm with numbness and tingling into my fingers. During my hospital stay I had an MRI of my head, which was normal.
Hi. I have been very confused about symptoms that I have been having on and off over the last eight years. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I was very healthy up until age 20 when I was working out at the gym i noticed my vision was becoming blurry. By the next morning I noticed a big bling spot in my left eye. After a couple of opthamologists I finally saw a neuro-opthamologist who wasn't sure whether it was anterior ischemic optic neuropathy or optic neuritis.
I do think you can get support from others with their own experiences with optic neuritis. My vision took probably a year to improve and it has been so gradual. I no longer see double. I do get blurry vision still when I'm overheated or tired. I do have a permament black spot in my field of vision, but it's not big. I will have washed-out color issues in my eye when I'm too warm.
IV Solumedrol gives you the best chance for quick resolution of vision issues that can be experienced as part of an optic neuritis MS flare. Unfortunately, recovery from optic neuritis can still be very slow and take weeks to months to reach it's full recovery potential.
Many people recover to the point they feel they can see as well as before the attack. Others find out each flare takes a piece of their vision that is never fully returned.
Every person and every flare is different.

I presented with symptoms left side weakness, spasticity, etc. starting Dec 08, then had optic neuritis in my left eye in Feb 09, and optic neuritis in my right eye in Aug 09. With many different symptoms in between.
I have 6 brain lesions - 4 periventricular, 1 infratentorial, & the other I'm not sure where.
Then I also have 3 T1 hypointense lesions (blackholes), 1 lesion between C4-C6, and another between T9-T10.
hi. i am a 32 year old female. this is the 3rd time that i have had optic neuritis in 8 months. i also have numbness in legs and terrible joint pain. i stay so tired i can barely move. i have been on solumedrol 4 times but all of my scans are negative. my spinal showed some inflammation but not the bands for ms. my neuro thinks its time to aggressively start treatment before the ON flares up worse next time. The first 2 times it was in my left eye and now is in both?
