Optic Neuritis in Multiple Sclerosis: My Hospital Update
Published 2024-02-12
This video is an update on my hospital appointment for the reoccurring optic neuritis that I experience each year. Last year I put a video out on how I lost vision in one eye with an optic neuritis attack. I saw an eye specialist at the opticians who referred me to the eye hospital to see a doctor there. They advised that they were going to check the back of my eye for any long term damage.
It took a year to get this appointment on the NHS so this is why I am only just updating everyone now. I had a recent attack of optic neuritis in Dec 2023, but I believe that was due to emotional upset from my Granny passing away. I miss her so much and I know that it was and continues to be, a very difficult thing to come to terms with. Emotional upset can cause quite big impacts on MS and I have found this to be true since my diagnosis. I try to continue looking after my health and trying to live as positively as possible.

In January 2023 I put a video out on my optic neuritis attack with vision loss. After waiting a year I got an appointment with the opthalmology doctor at my local hospital. This video is an update on my eye health and to find out if there is any long term damage to my retina.

So glad your eyes are doing well Laura and there is no permanent damage. So sorry you lost your gran. Thinking of you and your family.

Hello Beautiful!!! I'm happy to hear that your peepers are in good shape. I had the same eye test you spoke of when I had optic neuritis a couple of years ago. Besides my left eye feeling like someone was jabbing their finger in my eyeball, the test showed no vision loss, but I did have delayed response for the time it took for my brain to prosses the information that my eyes were sending. After a couple of months, everything went back to normal. I just watched your last video about your back issues. I found that the best thing is, as you know, is a good massage. Unfortunately, I haven't found a technique to give myself a proper back massage.🤨 Nothing compares to a well trained pair of human hands.😊 Anyway, I'm glad you're doing well, and thanks for the update Laura.🙏😘

I only suffered from optic neuritis once causing me to lose vision in my right eye, but I did regain 80% and I'm very greatful that it did come back. I cannot imagine it happening repeatedly like in your case, that was a very traumatic experience to live through.

Hi Laura I hope your keeping well, I can’t find you on my instagram so I thought I would drop you a message and let you know we finally moved last Saturday yay! Another great video by the way and again learnt a lot about optic nerve problems. Lisa 😊

I went permanently blind in my left eye after my first relapse... No test was needed for that.

I'd suggest 21 day water fast if any ebv lingering it will get rid of it

Inflammation and autoimmune is driven by undiagnosed infection
