"My life was flipped upside down on December 10, 2023, when I lost vision in my right eye. I checked myself into the ER in Salt Lake City, where my boyfriend and I lived at the time. We had no family around and were both so scared. I was all alone in a hospital bed with nurses consoling me. I left the hospital a couple days later with a diagnosis that changed my life forever. I am so grateful my life was flipped upside down that day. Little did I know multiple sclerosis would change my life in such a positive and impactful way. ❤️🩹" — Allison T.
In 2022 I was diagnosed with a related disease - MOGAD - which included losing sight (temporarily) in my left eye, among other not to pleasant things. As you point out, this diagnosis has now been surprisingly positive.
I feel your pain. I went through something very similar
