3 months after the birth of my second daughter (born with multiple birth defects) I got optic neuritis in my left eye. Blurred vision, pain with movement. Never in a million years did I think of MS. I thought my vision was getting bad bc of my constant internet use researching my daughters issues. So off to the eye doctor and was told "it could be nothing, it could be Lymes or MS" WOW!!! Im 25 this cant be happening!!! So onto primary doc then to neurologist. MRI showed only one leision, thats good I guess. Spinal tap gae official diagnosis. Im taking Rebif. Are you on any injections? Have you heard of the Swank MS diet? I am thinking of trying it. Tough and strict diet but seems to have positive effects. The one episode of optic neuritis is all I have experienced and it cleared up completely without steriods.
