Is it just me or has anyone else with ms had eye problems?

It's a really big mess having ms that's for sure.I started out having double vision and numbness back in 1998. I just inored it untill my double vision came back. I have had it last over a year before. I proberly should cover my left eye with a patch while I am at home.

If you are going to cover an eye, rotate the covering back and forth between your two eyes lest one of them become lazy.

Don't want to go giving the demon MS an opportunity beyond the junk you are enjoying right now.

I am okay standing and sitting up. But if I lay on the floor I am some dizzy.

And kneeling down is a trick too. I have a hard time getting up again and in fact, I can't unless I have something to support myself with.

If everything would just stay as it is right now I'll be fine. But I don't look forward to further progression.

I don't think any of us do thanks for the ideas on using my eye patch. I don't use it to long it makes my face to hot.

If you have a silk scarf, you could tie your head so that it comes down over one eye. The silk doesn't heat up like cotton any polyester do. Might be different rolling it like a bandage though.

I am really beginning to dislike heat. I feel about ready to crawl into the fridge...

I have had friends who keep wanting me to take/buy herbal remedies. They mean well, but I hear it enough to just want to slap them.

If only I could muster up one...

Yeah I hope they come up with a crue myself. Like Mike I hear all the time about herbs that will help. I have tried I still have problems. Even this one woman that works with my mother claimed that some pills she gave me to try would cure ms. Well I hate to tell her I am still having problems.

Yeah having ms causes this to happen during the summer alot.

well see I have multiple sclrosis so it causes me to have double vision. Espically when the weather is hot. The first time I had it I was driving to work.

I am sorry to hear about your friend.

Ok I did a little research and this is what I found

Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms
Multiple sclerosis (MS) can cause a wide range of symptomsmultiple sclerosis symptoms. Some problems occur often, and some are seldom seen. The course of illness is different for each person. Even when there are no symptoms, there is progression of damage to the central nervous system over time. That's why it is important to stay on your multiple sclerosis treatment. Common multiple sclerosis symptoms are:

********Optic neuritis
This multiple sclerosis symptomsis an inflammation of the optic nerve, the nerve that controls the eye. Over a period of days, you may develop blurred vision. Sometimes you may feel pain behind your eye, which increases when you turn your eye. After initial symptoms, there is gradual improvement, sometimes after several weeks. But recovery is not always complete. During periods of stress, fatigue or fever, the blurred vision in the eye may return. This does not necessarily mean that the multiple sclerosis is active again. Rather, it may be the result of permanent disability that has accumulated over time.


So it does have to do with you MS! Ok here is the link I found it at and there is a lot more information

Now you get your but on the phone and call your doctor:)! I mean now!

I have double vision which has happened before. I am trying to wait it out to see if it goes away. All the doctors will do is give me predizone and I hate taking them unless I go numb for awhile. Thanks for your advice though.

I am treated with a interferon or Rebif. I take it 3 times a week. I have had both the pills and in the blood or iv steriods. It's been awhile but I have done it both ways.When I first got diagnosed I was needing to go to the hospital from going numb alot to have iv steriods. It's just predozine is easier instead of spending a night or two at the hospitail.

He knows I went last week to a new nerologist he told me to wait to see if it clears. I have had IV Somedrual more times then I can remember really since I was diagnosed in 2002. If it doesn;t clear soon I will call back or call my primary care doctor to get a predizone pack.Optic Neurtic I had that last summer in my left eye that is the pits anyhow thanks for your concern and your reply.

I know if I am out in the sun I need shades and fast. Migranes I get one at least every 2 weeks.I will try sunshades inside if my eyes go crazy. My double vision is gone for now. Hopefully it will stay away from awhile. It's not as bad as losing eye sight or having blurred vision.
