Ocular neuritis

2 weeks ago, I got the stomach flu at work. Retching in the garbage cans in the office was *shudder* gross. The next day my right eye hurt when I looked around. Went to the neurologist and she said it was oculars neuritis and gave me steroids to speed up the healing process. It did...sorta. The pain in my eye was gone but, my vision was terrible. I couldn't read out of that eye. It was like an old TV with bad reception and the screen has all that static snow, but you can sort see the pictures. Plus, the steroids turned me into the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
Neurologist said that was not normal and scheduled and emergency Opthalmologist appointment.

Update:
It's normal optic neuritis.  Now just waiting for it to fully heal... hopefully.
