Pain in the left eye

Monday June 22, 2009 - Well, I have had pain in my left eye since Thursday evening. I chose to try to ignore it. By this morning the pain was worse. I have not had any vision issues but figured I better call the doctor. So I called the ophthalmologist first to schedule an appointment with him. He is in surgery today so I could not get in until tomorrow afternoon. After I called and made that appointment I figured I better check in with the neurologist. I talked to his nurse and told her what was going on. She figures it is optic neuritis, which is what I am thinking as well. So I have an appointment with her tomorrow after the appointment with the ophthalmologist to start IV steroids if it is, in fact, optic neuritis.
