I was very frustrated about my situation also. I was so scared that I would not be getting my eye sight back. That is why I chose the steriods. I really can relate to you. Like I said before the...

It could be MS, but you should talk to your doctor and get a MRI done and blood work done. If it is MS the doctor should see that you have lesions on your brain. The blood work is just to rule out...
