HI there,
I am waiting to see my GP to get a referral for a neurologist, I have all kinds of symptoms that are pointing to an auntoimmune condition, like MS...I have been having eye pain in my left eye for a month or so..its a dull aching pain behind the eyeball, but it also feels weird in the corner of my eye(and sometimes across the bridge of my nose). I went and saw an eye doctor at a hospital, and he ruled out Glaucoma, and said my vision was fine. He told me to see a neurologist, so I am waiting to do so..
.The pain is still there, and now somethings change, i have some difficulty focusing a bit, and find my eye is tearing alot, and then drying in the corner. It hurts a bit to move my eye, and the pain seems to be midly in my right aswell. My question is this, I have another eye appointment on August 12....IF this is something related to MS or if this is optical neuritis or something like that, how and when do you know to push to see a doctor sooner rather than later. My worry is that I will damage my vision, or it will be a situation of"you should have come in sooner". I have these two appointments set up, and then again what can an emergancy room do for me?
what should I do?
If the eye doctor I saw at the hospital didn't see anything but my eyes still hurt..will waiting until the 12th be ok? I just don't know what to do anymore.
Please help
