Have you seen the ophthalmologist lately, Donna? He should be able to see if you have ON now, shouldn't he?

That's interesting to know Sharon.. thank you...My eyes have been feeling like they are trying to cross lately, but not always, just sometimes and usually a nap will clear it up (makes no sense to me either).. and I had NO clue that was double vision either.. so now I know.. guess the brain MRI that I should be getting this coming Monday will show optic neuritis again as well...Thanks againHUGS|)onnaSharon wrote:>>> I also have double vision, especially when I am having the most > trouble with ms-fatigue.
