1. Oh I am so so so sorry. I have MS too. Haven't had too much damage to my eyes yet from optic neuritis, but always

A fear.

I am so sorry. I’ve found once you have MS, or any other chronic disease, or if you are poor, people treat you like you are so far beneath them and something to be picked on and corrected, the way a troop of monkeys or chimps will do endless harm to their scapegoat.

I always hope people who are like that, experience the other side of it, someday.

You are perfect just the way you are. Sending you hugs.

You’ve got this. It’s hard, but you are doing just fine so far.

On a positive note, I got my cataracts removed last month, you can find my posts about that, and boy am I ever glad I got it done!

Easiest surgery ever, easier than getting a tooth filled, no pain, and it’s shocking to me how much better my vision is now! It turns out a lot of my vision problems were due to bad cataracts and not the optic neuritis.

Wishing the best for you. Please keep taking one breath at a time, and make it until the next day, every day. 💙💙💙
