Hello, new here and would appreciate any advice -
a few years ago I get a symptoms diagnosed as optic neuritis in my right eye (I went frst to hospital who didn’t ‘catch’ it, then went to my GP who referred me to Moorfields). A went back there a year later and was given the choice to keep coming back or not, so I chose not to. I also did not have a scan to detect MS or otherwise. I was told than I should go straight back if the ‘over-exposed’ (as I described it to them) eye returned and dischaged. The letter to my GP from Moorfields described a problem I cannot recall the name of now but I think is basically the light/‘star(s)’ that appear when you get over-heated - with me when out of breath or for some in the shower. I put fast fading lights appearing down to this and have not been back the GP despite the nuisance these caused intermittently over the past few years. However, last week I was walking quickly and basically that eye’s vision went white. Today I felt hungry, and the same. I also have numbness in my extremities. These I guess are symptoms of MS but I do not really know if they are or not. I do not want to waste GP time nor go through a scan if I don’t have to. I see that there are many threads on stress and one where the poster talks about being kept awake at night. My ‘first time’ came after I was kept awake (again) by troublemakers, and spent the night basically on the computer - I even thought this was the cause. So I am stuck. I have contacted the society and they said I should probably go back my GP (seeing that I am probably delaying…) but any adivce based on this would as I said be appreciated.
Thanks.
