Hello, I'm a female, 36, had optic neuritis diagnosis two months ago. I lost 90% of my left eye vision, then after the first pulse therapy with solumedrol (five days in a row), the pain faded and the vision got a little better. Then I was treated with a neurologist and exams pointed to MS diagnosis. She also suggested another pulse therapy session, because the vision was around 50%. The vision gets better every day, but very slowly. Now, after 2 months, she said I should go on another pulse therapy session (the third one), even without inflammation of my optic nerve. The vision is 20/70 but just yesterday I began to see red lights that I didn't see before.
According to ONTT, the pulse therapy won't affect my final visual outcome. But she said it accelerates it and also it's good for the disease overall. I'm very afraid of abusing pulse therapies, as I didn't read anywhere that optic neuritis should undergo more than one pulse therapy with corticosteroids.
What do you think about this? I appreciate for your kind patience here.
