Not sure how to go about this and recently stumbled upon this site. But here it goes.
My name is dan and I'm 26 years old. I was diagnosed with ms when i was 21. I had two flares of optics neuritis at 18 and 19
and the doctors said it was just a strange occurrence. At 21 I ended up in emergency because i lost all feeling in my body and vision in both eyes. I was there for the longest 10 days of my life. I was diagnosed finally during my stay.
After this I became depressed bu got out of it quickly. 10 months later I was back for the vision loss. At that point I went off the deep end. I pushed everyone away from me and went into a very dark place that very few knew about. Cut to last year I had an attack again in my right eye. I had been good for four years and came to terms with everything .
Sadly I didn't seek help and couldn't afford another stint in the hospital. I tried to get to a doctor but I had a wait every where and they said go to emergency but I didn't. I just went to eye doctors today for new contacts finally and found out how much damage i had done to my eye by not seeking help. They want me to get on meds again and go to a new specialist. It's stressful when my insurance covers barely anything.
I'm hoping to learn a lot from everyone here and any helpful hints. Again I'm not the best with this kind of thing and it's just scary but I just know I need to talk with others with this condition. Thanks for reading.
