I won't rehash my whole story, it's on a thread a few down from this one, but in a nutshell I had my first optic neuritis experience on July 9th of this year, complete with IVSM and all of that.
My vision during that week got worse, then got a little better, and according to the neuro-opthamalogist, my field vision test, OCT scan and a bunch of other stuff I was tested on showed improvement.
Anyhoo, it never did get all that much better to me. I still had a giant smudge on my vision that made things really hard to see (out of that eye). Unless letters and numbers were huge, in black and on a white background, I wasn't reading 'em, etc etc. I was trying to remain patient, while watching the calendar tick by of course (3 months as of yesterday). Now, over the past week or so, my vision is again worsening. The blur is definitely worse, with what I see more "whitewashed" than before (like a frosted haze). If I had to see out of both eyes this way, I would be screwed.
So, has anyone been waiting for recovery, only to have things get worse during that time? I should note too that my eye is somewhat "sore" -- not awful pain, but that eye just feels sore compared to the other, and yes, I notice it more when I look around or press on my eye. Could I be having ON again?
