This site is coming at a great time. Help!! I am having pain in my eye. Never happened before. It feels almost like a pulled muscle when I move my eyeball. On day two of it. Anyone ever have this?

Yeppers.. look up Optic Neuritis... very common MS symptoms. I get them more often then I like mostly behind my right eye. Unfortunately I know when I get one and its just not a normal headache when it lasts for few weeks.. yes weeks !!! My longest bout was about 8 weeks. After a while it just comes the "norm" until you realize one day pressure is gone.. Read up on it. Im not saying its what you have but sounds very much like what I experience. Let me know

Just make sure you see your neuro if you start to lose any vision in that eye. I completely lost vision and burnt my optic nerve resulting in nearly zero vision in the right eye. I still get pain and a flare of optic neuritis from time to time, but don't worry about it as long as my sight isn't affected.

Yes, I have had the eye pain. First symptom was was vision loss in my right eye. That was a long time ago.The pain can be when i am very tired. Trying to read these MS notes can be rough. i have to put
a wet washcloth over my eyes. when I lay down. This has happened many times.
Yes, we must take life one day at a time. Don't forget to pray to Jesus. He Loves you very much !!

Yes that is what led to my Dx. of MS -- not so much pain but a heightened sensitivity in it for a few days that led to visions clouded by a light grey fog - to total blindness in left eye -- IV tx helped clear up problem
