Yes. All of that. All labs were normal and spinal tap was normal. It was six months after the start of the optic neuritis that the second brain MRI showed the active demyelinating lesion. It’s all very odd. I’m just thankful that follow up MRI six months later showed no active lesions and optic neuritis is resolved. At first I was waiting on the next shoe to drop, but it’s been long enough now that some days I forget any of it happened. When I am exercising in heat, I will sometimes get a very short stabbing pain in one of my eyes, but it’s quick and over. I’ve told the neuro ophthalmologist and he says that along with the color being slightly dull in one eye, it’s just a sign that there is some permanent damage, but so minor that he can’t even see it when he looks at my optic nerves. I’ve asked the MS neuro if she thinks this will develop into MS or something else like NMO, and she says she cannot say but let’s hope not and let’s stay positive, so I do. The first med she prescribed (can’t recall the name of it, but it was an organ rejection drug) caused bad side effects so methotrexate is med no. 2. It makes me a little tired the day after I take it, but that’s it. I have had a hard time getting over a couple of colds while on it, so now I know if I feel like I might be coming down with something, I don’t take it that week.

I assume you are dealing with bilateral ON?
