Deflated and worried

Had optic neuritis as some of you know in October and it's a slowwwww recovery but on 21st December at the ophthalmology appointment I could read 20/30 with left eye. Right eye blurriness had gone, still a cloud over left but it seemed to be lifting some. This was very welcome after 11 weeks. On Boxing Day my right eye started going blurry again and has now been blurry for 5 days. That's my good eye so you can imagine how worried I am. Don't know what it is - I had a MRI on the 27th as a routine one To see the which meds they will want to offer me. Haven't been busy over Christmas as only just diagnosed and it's been a bit of a down one to be honest. Waiting for a call back from the MS nurse to see what she thinks. Things were just starting to look a bit brighter.

@mtvesuvio don't worry. Stress is the worst thing for ms. You are going through a sticky patch and you are just on the edge of Limboland. You've been diagnosed, you are waiting to see a ms nurse and you are having problems with your sight, all these add up and you are in the middle of it and it's a bank holiday weekend. Ring your ms nurse on Thursday, tell her what you've been going through, if she's any good she will help and hopefully move things along. Keep your chin up, we're all with you.🥊👂😍

@mtvesuvio , you live in the UK, so you've been busy over the last couple of weeks, if only to avoid the madness that everyone else joins in. But, Christmas aside, you have been dealing with a recent diagnosis, whilst managing the visual damage from an earlier relapse. There's also the forthcoming discussion on Disease Modifying Therapies (DMTs). Understandably, this is possibly a very stressful time for you. And, there's the rub, stress is one of the major antagonists to our MS and is best avoided. You really need to just sit down and rest, as worrying is inherently counter-productive. Try and rest your eyes too. Try listening to music, then you can just keep your eyes closed/relaxed.
