Optic neuritis
So I am on day 12 of blurred vision in my right eye, getting an mri next week then probably IV steriods fo 3 days. How long does this blurry/foggy usually last? What were your experiences with iv treatments? I can prob see about 35% out of my right eye, but this is killing me!!!!Please help and suggestions, experiences would be great!!
@bbaughman , if it is Optic Neuritis, then a visual inspection of the back of the eyes should confirm this. IV Steroids do not alter the capability of your body to recover, they just expedite the process. But, it is down to you and your body to manage the recovery, so you need to rest up to allow this to happen. IV Steroids are usually well-tolerated, but there may be an immediate metallic taste in your mouth, A supply of mints would be useful. Your sleep pattern may be impacted for a couple of days too. Stress and worry will only make things worse, so distraction therapy would be useful. Pamper yourself and be kind to yourself.
In your experience how long did the vision loss/blurriness last?
