I checked out the website you sent me,I went to see a opthalmic opticion,she say I have inflammation in my eye,she is going to send my doctor the details he should receive them early next week,could you tell me what I should expect my doctor to do,will he refer me to a neurologist? or put me on medication?.I dont have a lot of faith in my doctor and I am worried about my eyesight.
I posted a similar email onto the messageboard yesterday,but I haven't had any replies I'm a bit disappointed or perhaps maybe i'm just frightened.

Kathy,
I don't have an answer for you but don't be discouraged by the lack of replies. Sometimes it takes quite a while and sometimes no one ever answers. Don’t take it personally.
One thing, if you don't have faith in your Dr. and you even think you might have MS, find a new Dr that you do trust. If it turns out you don't have MS you have a good Doc. if you do have it then you will be seeing a lot of this Dr. and need to feel secure in he/she.
Also, don't worry too much stress always makes symptoms of anything seem worse. Fear pumps up the adrenaline, which can be over stimulating. From everything I have read most people with vision trouble from MS don't lose their sight entirely and most regain at least part of what they lose.
Blessings,
Kathy
