Thank you LS

i am feeling alot better but still not 100% and have now found out what is wrong with me

i have a condition called optic neuritis
there is a risk of me developing MS in later years but the way i look at it is i could develop lots of other illnesses later in life so i,m not gonna worry about it and just concentrate on getting myself better

Hopefully in time and with plenty of rest, you'll be back to some sort of normality
