Feedback

For the past two days, both of my eyes have been red. I’m not sure whether this is because of MS or if it is some kind of infection. When I was first diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, my eyes also became red at that time, and the vision in one eye decreased due to optic neuritis.

I would love some feedback from people who have had RRMS and have progressed to SPMS. I was recently rediagnosed. I know MS is different for each individual but I’m wondering what I might expect the future to be like for me.

Hi I'm new here and I'm wondering if anybody's experienced eye issues this is the first for me. I've been diagnosed since 2007. Most of my lesions are in my brain and my spinal cord on the top. And I didn't have any eye pain but I had like lights sparkle flashing I had a blackout in my right eye for about 30 minutes the first day the second day it was only a few minutes and then the third day my eye was swollen shut. I went to the hospital for 3 days they put me on steroids ruled out a stroke. There was only a visiting neurologist because I was out of state and they had no answers so just curious if anybody can give me any feedback on that thank you..❤️
