Here i go. I was diagnosed w N in Jan. Been through med and lifestyle changes.. I learned my limits. I have been "stable" for 6 months or so. Yeah i had a bad day here and there but grateful because i was going through my daily motions again. Last thurs i woke up and thought i scratched my eye. As the day went on my vision get bad fast.. 20/50 or so by the time i left work. 2 eye dr at my work thought it was optic neuritis--- a sign of MS. I saw 2 dif ophthalmologists the next 2 day and got 2 dif opinions.. Sat i started getting twitching in my right eye.. then my left.. the vision in my right eye improved and left worsened.. By sat evening i had serious numness and tingling in my face.. followed my my arms and legs.. The vision and face was new but not arms and legs... I have had a CT, MRI, A slew of new labs. My MD ruled out MS and well everything else. He feels it is just a bad relapse. I am scheduled to see the only sleep specialist to try and stop my dreams and night mares.. hopefully improving my sleep. I am on ritilan and it seems to be a miracle for me.. as much as someone w N could have. I am just really scared because of the new symptoms .. could it all be N?? and just a relapse??
