Well, there is no optical neuritis! But my doctor told me he has a few patients with MS that have no optical neuritis either. He wants me back in 1 year, to keep things updated. He said just because I have healthy eyes doesn't mean I don't have MS, he went over the symptoms with me and recorded them, and told me to make sure to follow through with a neuro, because the symptoms pretty much told the story. It really made me feel good, and I have a little hope of an answer, kinda funny since it was just my eye doctor! But then I wonder if maybe I should be looking at another avenue? I don't know, it's still confusing. Needless to say, I'm just getting older and need a stronger prescription!!! However, my day was pretty good, I've had some good energy and accomplished alot! Still got the cold, but I can handle anything! I keep trying to change the emoticon to "feeling good" but it just keeps going back to "okay". But just to let you all know, I really am feeling good! Thanx for all the hugs and thoughts!

I just wanted to say thanks for the support and it looks like we are in the same boat..I started all this is Aug of 2006. I started falling down.then I got lightheaded.. then the tingles, then I went down at work and was told not to come back until Dr released me.. that never happened.. then I had to go off cymbalta (for depression) and was on celebrex for pain for arthrits.. got shocks like electrical shocks up my spine to my head.. and they were contintues... I was ready to shoot myself.. I went off for a test called an ENG by the time i took the test I was walking with a cane..went back on meds and felt better.. the shocks have stoped..thank goodness..I have some break thrus on the drugs I take, by that I mean short bouts of systoms.. I too went to an eye specialist.. told to live with the white streak that goes thru it at times..well most of the time.. but the brain works thru it and I don\'t see it very much any more.. once I had wavy lines and colors,, I now know where Picaso got his painting ideas from...lol...anyway you aren\'t that old........my the creator bless you.. I hope we can become friends... I am here........
