I was diagnosed with optic neuritis about a year and a half ago. I did have some other symptoms that made me think I had MS but my doc and neuro thought it was caused by the strong steroids I was on. Symptoms were weak legs, numb hands, taking a bath was difficult as I could not get out.....felt like a fawn with broken legs. Well after weaning me off the steroids faster the symptoms did all disappear. All test are showing no MS. I have had MRIs with and without contrast of head and spine lumbar puncture and many tests that the neuro ophthalmologist did. Optic neuritis did improve but not totally. My question is has anybody else either had this happen to them or know somebody who has. I am very thankful that I am ok now and can do anything I want after being so scared and depressed about the possibility of living a life with MS. I am trying to live life to the fullest but in the back of my mind is the unknown of what could happen down the road. I am not letting it ruin my life but just want to know if this has happened to anyone else out there.
