I woke up in June with cloudy vision in my left eye.. This of coarse led me to doctors, MRIs and the positive MS dx in july.
Well I'm still struggling with this eye problem and my right eye has even clouded over some but is not blurry like my left eye, Thank God.
I've been to 2 eye doctors, they say there isn't much I can do. I know some folks have had it worse in which case, they did the steroid treatment, buy my case was so minor, they advised against it... :( So now I"m living this this thing.. and it's annoying.. Sometimes I think it's better, but other times I think it's worse. like right now... *sigh.. What do I do? Get a 3rd opinion? Wait it out? Is this going to go away? My doctor scared me the other day by saying "The damage is done.. just wait it out... Could go away.." And last time I saw him he said the nerve was no longer swollen.. This time he said yes it is swollen... Guh.. So confused. When I talk to doctors I just draw a blank.
Also I have another question which is a horrible one.
Are there any smokers out there with MS? Sad enough, I still smoke some.. You'd think I'd grow up and want to quit. :(

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
kisses and hugs, em

I went though many many series of tests before the doctors decided it was ON.. I hate doctors. I only go once a year. If I get a flare up. I ride it out. They don't know shit.
I guess I have no answers for you but I know how you feel.
