I have MS and am going thru a relapse. Are there any home treatments for Optic Neuritis? I ve already done a course of IV steroids and Oral prednisone. Is there anything homeopathic I can try? Or any changes to my diet that might help the vision come back sooner?
**1. since you are suffering from MS, thus pathology related to Eye is: ADON [acute demyelinating optic neuritis].2. since there is/are visual disturbances in this condition thus prior to starting any Alternate system of medicine, Full ophthalmological examination along with testing of visual acuity, contrast and colour vision, visual field testing is required.PS.  Further management regarding the risk/progression of MS usually requires neurological opinion.3. Avoid hot environments and take cool drinks, since symptoms are reversible thus reassurance  is mainstay of treatment, since the disease is autoimmune in reaction thus Rasayan [Immunomulators] Chikitsa is recommended.PS. Diet rich in Vitamin B, soy milk and barley water are believed to be beneficial in the optic neuritis prevention as well as treatment, gluten/dairy free diet, fresh fruits and vegetables.
