I had a sore throat and a quick lasting runny nose over Xmas, it went away quicker than it came if you know what I mean.
About a week to ten days after that, I started to feel as tired and lethargic and felt as if I was coming down with another cold, but nothing materialised.
The only thing that did was an awful boring type pain half way across my eyebrow, went to my Gp (in UK) and told it could be sinus, anyway this has what has happened since then. I have been on three courses of anti-biotics.
The eyebrow bone itself was very tender.
The pink blob in the corner of my eye swelled, nothing went red however, it also felt as if the tissues arouns my eye swelled. The skin around the eye went dark brown, and the skin from the top of the eyeball up the eyebrow hair went blood red. (My GP has no idea what has caused this "not his field).
My other eye is lazy, but this is all happening in my right eye, the worrying thing is the vision itself, its really hard to explain, its not working as well as it was before all this happened.
I'm getting a pressure type feeling especially in the morning or middle of th enight (I'm only sleeping two hours per night). in the corner of the eye where the bone goes round into the eyebrow bone. If lay on the left hand side, I get a pain in the corner of the eye.
I have had my eyes tested twice, and the last test back in Jan, well the glasses don't seem strong enough now.
If I go out the vision seems to switch off (so I've stayed in for over three weeks now too scared to go out).
could this be ON, and if so does it ever get better as that is the eye I want to work as I'm practially blind in the other.

Doesnt sound like ON at all to me- but im not a doctor. You need to see a opthamologist quickly- in case this is some sort of an infection. A good opthamologist will be able to tell if you need to see an Neuro-Opthamologist, if in fact the optic nerve is causing the problem.
GOod luck, feel better soon and try to find a good opthamologist immediately.
