My whole life, my eyesight has always been awful. My eyes are photo-sensitive, and had tons of trouble seeing. I was put into a special needs program at my middle school, which basically gave me a special magnetic locker, and the ability to skip PE. Around 6th grade, I began having super intense migraines, and was diagnosed with Cluster Headaches and chronic ocular migraines, as well as deutan colorblindness (I have trouble distinguishing red and green.) I went through middle school using an iPad to help me read and see the boards during my classes. About once every 6th months, I have to go into an Opthalmologist, who would put orange dye into my eyes and look for signs of cornea degeneration or contaminants. Everytime I have a cluster headache, it would be the most intense pain I had ever experienced. I also experience a huge blind spot in my vision, which would make it nearly impossible for me to even function. All of this brings me to last month. I had gone in for an eye appointment, and during it, the doctor informed me that the optic disk in both of my eyes was swollen, and that it needed to be checked out further. I came in about a week later and had blood drawn. I came in a week later and was informed that there was high levels of antibodies around my eyes and spine. The doctor diagnosed me with Optic Neuritis. This means that my body is actively attacking attacking my own eyes and spine. The doctor said that vision loss is expected, although we don't yet know if it will be permanent. I'm just trying to stay positive. I help that by sharing this story, I can help someone going through something similar. I'll try to update soon, still trying to fully comprehend it. Thanks. Edit: holy shit guys, the support here is unreal. I talked to my doctor about possibly getting steroid treatment, and if all goes well, it should be starting relatively soon. The bad news is that even if it is sucessful, it won't get rid of the antibodies, just lessen the damage that they're doing to my spine. I'll update whenever I can. Thanks for the support guys, it really helps. Edit 2: Wow, I honestly have no words. The support that I have received is honestly mindblowing. I can't thank you all enough. I have some updates to share, some good, some bad. After talking with my doctor, he decided that steroid treatment was my best option. This wouldn't help my eyesight, but it would lessen the damage done to my spine. Now, on to the bad news. I've noticed that I've begun to have troubles seeing green. I've also noticed a general... blurriness, for the lack of a better word. My eyes won't focus on anything. I'm trying to stay positive. Honestly, you guys help me a ton. Just to address a couple of things; one of you guys reccomended crowd funding. My family is helping me pay for the expenses. On top of that, the treatment itself isn't that expensive as it's simply a steroid treatment. Thanks for the kind words everyone, I'll try to update if I can, although its getting harder with the whole "out of focus thing." Thanks, flood.
