For many of us optic neuritis is one of the first symptoms that present for multiple sclerosis.  You may be interested in a previous blog we ran where many of our readers told their optic neuritis story.  You can read them here https://patienttalk.org/?p=312.

That being said their are a number of other conditions which can also lead to optic neuritis.  These include syphilis, Lyme disease, herpes zoster, lupus, neurosarcoidosis, inflammatory bowel disease, vasculitis, and diabetes.

Today we would like to explore in more detail the treatments people have received for optic neuritis.

It would be great if you could take our poll below to share your experiences.
