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 HAD IT SEVERAL TIMES BUT ONLY IN THE EYE THE I ALREADY HAVE MACULAR DEGENERATION, HAVE HAD 7 LASER SURGERIES IN, SO I THOUGHT IT WAS RELATED TO THE LASER TREATMENTS AND EVEN WENT THE MY EYE DOC FOR THE PAIN. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOTHING RELATED TO THE LASER BUT I DIDN'T

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'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...
