I was recently diagnosed with MS myself and put on some of the stronger medication from what I understand (Ocrevus) to make sure my future flares will not happen or at least be a less severe.
Was the vision loss from one eye really all that sudden for you? I am noticing my left seems to feel different and act slightly different when I'm tired. For now I am assuming that eventually I might also lose this eye because of the disease.
For me, it was! But honestly, it could have been weird before and I just didn't notice. I was in the shower and realized that I couldn't see my armpit to shave it. It did get better, though: I went to a specialist eye doctor when I started my medicine (gilenya) and he said it healed really well - he really couldn't tell there was ever an issue.
If it makes you feel better, a lot of folks that do get optic neuritis find that the regain at least some of the vision. And realistically, once I got used to everything being blurry in one eye, it was probably something I could live with if I absolutely have to. Definitely bring it up to your neuro, though, just to let them know. If it is a new symptom for you, you might call sooner rather than later.
And they were right about the meds, and I appreciate the approach. Fewer flares and less severe flares mean a better quality of life for us.
I did tell my MS nurse (idk if that is a thing outside of the NL) she did seem to write it off. I do keep bringing it up everytime but it is a lot better than before. I had like a couple of weeks where I could barely look at a monitor without struggling to read anything. I'll just keep mentioning it during every checkup I will have.
I did read about the ON recovery for most so that does bring me some comfort but it still is a spooky thought.
That was the first thing I noticed when I attempted to read my KJV bible and also what eventually led me to stop reading it. The monotonous repetition of lineage. Perhaps I will give it another chance later in life.

Wish you all the best
