Hello Everyone,
I was diagnosed with MS when I was 19 about four years ago.
It started with blurry peripheral vision in my left eye that cleared up after steroid treatment of solumedrol for five days. My MRI was clear, no brain lesions, but my spinal fluid showed a low red blood cell count.
My neurologist made the MS diagnostic by these results and started me on Copaxone for the MS, then few months later the same flare up occurred in my left peripheral vision.
again steroid treatment and I was fine again.
I haven’t had a flare up in over two years until now and it’s my left eye again.
My neurologist had retiried, so I’m seeing a new one. He seems to think it’s not MS nor NMO due to the fact it's recurring in the same place in the same eye.
I have no other symptoms, no tingling, numbness, and I have plenty of energy.
Is this NMO, MS, or maybe something else?
