I have had double vision now for almost a week. My left eye is turned towards the right. I am not telling my nerologist he will say there is nothing I can do. I might call my regular doctor. it seems like when it is hot wheater this happens to me more then any other time of the year. Last year I lost eye site in tmy left eye for a month. Sometimes you just have to laugh about it all to keep it from getting the best of you :)

I would tell my neurologist. You might need an IV treatment. I have had a bout with Optic Neuritis a couple of times and it isn't something that I would wish on anyone. Hot weather seems to bring on my eye problems, also. Were you ever treated with the IV Somedrual (spelling?) before, for this? I, pesonally would take an IV treatment over a spell with the Optic Neuritis.

He knows I went last week to a new nerologist he told me to wait to see if it clears. I have had IV Somedrual more times then I can remember really since I was diagnosed in 2002. If it doesn;t clear soon I will call back or call my primary care doctor to get a predizone pack.Optic Neurtic I had that last summer in my left eye that is the pits anyhow thanks for your concern and your reply.

How are you now my friend? I hope all is already well. I may be late in responding to your discussions but I still wish you all the best of health. More power to you!

Are you being treated with interferone for your MS? Or Tysabri?
I hate taking Predizone during an attack as well it makes me really sick. My neurologist has promised that when I'm next having an attack they'll give it to me in the blood in stead of as pills. She says there are less side effects that way.
Don't know if you've tried talking to your neurologist about that but perhaps you should?
I'm not sure it's such a good idea to cover your eyes too much. When the normal route of visual communication inside your brain is destroyed your neurological system has to learn a new one and that will not happen unless you force it.
I hope your vision will get back to normal soon!

I am treated with a interferon or Rebif. I take it 3 times a week. I have had both the pills and in the blood or iv steriods. It's been awhile but I have done it both ways.When I first got diagnosed I was needing to go to the hospital from going numb alot to have iv steriods. It's just predozine is easier instead of spending a night or two at the hospitail.

Yeah I hope they come up with a crue myself. Like Mike I hear all the time about herbs that will help. I have tried I still have problems. Even this one woman that works with my mother claimed that some pills she gave me to try would cure ms. Well I hate to tell her I am still having problems.
