Thanks so much for the very helpful information, Sarah, and the contact info. That spinal sounds so painful! Ouch! My daughter actually had to have one when she was an infant (we couldn't bear to watch and they did it in another room), and it was still very traumatic for all. Thank goodness she won't remember it! I am actually trying to pull information for a family member. He has been diagnosed with optical neuritis & while the doctors are telling him he has less than a 25% chance of getting MS, I can tell he is concerned. He has had an MRI and eye tests done. The MRI showed lesions on his brain, but the doctor says they probably are not related to MS. He goes back to the eye doctor and the neurologist soon, but I feel as though we still don't have all the answers. He is frustrated because he still has pain in his eye and can't see well. I live in the Phoenix area. Even though he has gone to a bunch of doctors, I'd like for him to go to a doctor that may be able to give him better answers than he has received already. If anyone knows of someone he should go see, I'd love to have that info. Thanks.
