    That was a informative article, here are a few more tips for a treatment for multiple sclerosis
    Get plenty of rest
    Exercising, yoga, tai chi, meditation, deep breathing, hypnosis,
    Use green juice, wheatgrass, fruit and veg - organic are best flaxseed oil, evening primrose oil etc.
    Some things to avoid if you have multiple sclerosis are alcohol, chocolate, dairy products, eggs, hydrogenated oils, margarine, milk, red meats, commercial salt, sugar, aspartame.

    I started noticing something with one of my eyes recently. With the right one open, the colors seem normal(like how it always looked). With my left eye open, the colors seem really off. It's almost a dull, grayish color.
    This all happened a few days ago, and I still have it. Looking up causes for that all seem to mostly point to ms. Who knows, though! Just have to wait it out, I guess.
    If it does end up being that, I'll leave another comment here.

    First episode of optic neuritis I lost 80% of my vision and had pain when looking to the left or right before I went to the doctor. That was on day 3. Because of my job I thought I just had some minor irritation. On day 3 when I woke up and closed my good eye...that's when I realized I was almost blind in my right eye. The eye doctor sent me straight to the hospital and I had a few days of IV steroids and my vision returned to normal. I was so thrilled. Came home from hospital and after 2 weeks the same thing happened again. I took no medication and it did clear after a week or so. Now I'm just waiting to see if it happens again.

    I am currently in my first full on optic neuritis attack. The doc does a bunch of test. Hands in the air? My experience this past few weeks was steroid drops, then nothing. MS doc doesn’t seemed to care or believe as I had it hit both eyes but not simultaneously, one followed the other by a week 1/2 difference. Now blurry, double vision and flat out fear. What does it amount to…well? …..nothing and they’ve once again leave me wanting and distrustful; only now someone a bit fatter with cash, and I’m just more mistrustful and possibly mistrusted but definitely mistreated. Apologies for my negativity. This whole experience with the medical world has been awful. Took 27 years to get diagnosed with MS , then the two past years being put through the gauntlet of meds they then snatched away due to paperwork, then Tysabri rebound syndrome, which then left me worst than when I started. I hate it, dislike the doctors and regret surviving long enough to be put through this after having a fleeting hope that I could arrest this. Far from the outcome I was told was possible. Just what has happened to me. I guess as they say, your mileage may vary?
