When to go to ER ?
Hi my name is Ashtyn this is all very new to me I was diagnosed in 2012 with Lupus fast forward to Nov 2025 when I lost my vision completely.. I had many prior uveitus episodes so I went to eye dr vs Er they spent 2 months trying to get my vision back .. lol they were scheduling a cornea transplant when my neighbor insisted I go to Er .. while there I found out it was not lupus I had been dealing with but MS !! I knew nothing about this disease but 2 days into steroid infusion at hospital I had all my vision back.. I had been wearing a I’ve vest for well over 13-years thinking it was my lupus extreme fatigue everyone told me was due to me losing my son to murder. And my other son being in a coma with a extremely severe TBI .. I had so many symptoms from ms that I spent so long thinking were lupus ..
I have been told Ocrevus is my best choice from Neurologist but they rescheduled for later this month. I’m experiencing new things like not being able to drink from a straw ?? Not finding words I’m trying to say . And now the vision in my left eye is becoming blurry.. My insurance doesn’t cover the neuro I met from hospital stay which was 39 days so I am waiting to see my new one .. any advice?
Sounds like you need steroids to calm your eyes down, but that’s a medical decision, and I am not a doctor. When in doubt, get a doctor to look at things, whatever that means for you, if it’s ER? Then go to the ER. Vision is nothing to play around with, as you already understand.
Thank you.. I agree
