I went to see my Neurologist yesterday (Dr. Bruce Lipsius of Cherry Hill, NJ).
It was a check up, and to also get the results of my nerve test I had done a month prior. However, I told him about my eye, and how I have been having vision problems. My right eye... it seems like I've been starring into the sun, and the white light won't go away. It also hurts, as if it were strained.
He let me know he was worried about losing vision, and said I was coming down with a case of "optic neuritis".
I asked if there was any possible way that it could go away on its own.
Instead, he tells me he wants me to get an IV steroid as soon as possible. Having a nurse come to my home for the next three days, I will be lugging around an IV-stand like a sick inpatient. After the three days, I will have to take oral steroids for five more.
Good news!?!? I'm in remission!!!!!!
UPDATE: I could have gone to the hospital because I'm alone with the IV... but I'm safe enough to stay home. Medicine is now dripping, two more days to go...
