Anybody with Optic Neuritis?

Do you have optic neuritis? Do I? When I get tired, or stressed or sometimes neither. When I move my eyes I'll "hear" the movement. It's sounds like a whooshing noise.

Has anybody ever experienced Optic neuritis? If so what helped also extreme fatigue and weakness. What helped with that as well. I’ve been diagnosed with RRMS in 2022 l. This is my first bad flare up.

Yes I know about optic neuritis but I was interested in what an eye specialist can see when they examine the retina.

Optic neuritis MRI

Can anyone tell me how long after a bout of optic neuritis it would show up on an MRI? Is it only when you're in the middle of an episode with active lesions?
