Hi there
I went to my optician with pain and pressure in one eye about 10 days ago
She saw a raised optic disc and referred me to the urgent care eye centre at my local hospital
They found a reduction in my red green colour sensitivity and also some loss of vision just under the middle of my field of vision
I was referred for an urgent MRI that day but not one was available so I’m now on a waiting list
I’ve been placed under a neurologist who prescribed 5 days of 500 mg prednisolone which I completed on Saturday and I had a VEP yesterday that the technician who did it said showed some delays, but she’s clearly not allowed to diagnose so couldn’t say more
I feel weak/heavy get super tired from doing almost nothing and have almost continuous headaches blurred vision and can’t concentrate on anything for very long
I’m worried that the VEP will show delay to the nerve signals if there is a growth on there as well as for MS
I feel that an MS diagnosis is the better of the options of growth/aneurysm/MS but I am overwhelmed and feel like I have a ticking bomb in my head
Just needed to share and let of steam, have no idea how to cope with this
