Has anyone here had their first sign of MS with a case of ON? If so, did it happen again and in the same eye?

I had my first sign of MS with ON in dec. 1998. It was only in one eye. I was put on steroids and it cleared up. Then in April 1999, it happened again in the other eye. This is when I was diagnosed and began treatment (Avonex).

Yes. After Essential Tremour came ON. Lasted 2 months, went away and never again.
ON was the big clincher - plus a blatant MRI.

I have been diagnosed with optic nueritis, on MRI.My opthomologist has agreed on examination. I have pain and an itchy feeling in the left eye. Sometimes the vision blurrs, as well as with or without glasses on the vision is all screwy. They tell me there is a lesion behind the left eye...maybe more info than I wanted.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
