How do you know if it is an exacerbation? This may sound like a stupid question, and I am sorry about that. I am really new to this condition (6 wks diagnosed)
I started with Optic Neuritis at 50 yrs old, never being symptomatic until now. My feet are numb, and I have gait issues (intoxicated look while walking). Had some of those symptoms before, but willfully and happily ignored them. Thought they would just go away. I am happy in my denial.
Can I assume those are just symptoms to live with, as long as ON does not come back, all is good? Would I expect that there will be vision issues the next time this rears its ugly lil head? I asked my neuro after the solumedrol how I would know, and he said I will just know. So, I was in some serious denial before losing my vision. Am I safe in my denial now?
Wish I knew what was going on. Thank you for answering a newbies questions.
