In this episode, we continue with the symptoms of multiple sclerosis. This time, the focus is on vision problems. How is vision affected? What is important now? When do visual disturbances occur? And how can you prevent future vision problems?

Visual disturbances are a common symptom of MS, but can sometimes also be an indication of a disease from the neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD).

Food for thought

If you had a visual disorder and it has now subsided, if possible without permanent restrictions, then enjoy nature in all its splendor and beauty all the more consciously. The bright colors in autumn. The stark contrast in winter, when white snow lies on dark tree trunks, and the sun shines in the blue sky. Or when the green bursts forth in spring and tries to conquer the world anew. And in summer, the splendor of flowers and delicious fruits ripen. The world is beautiful, enjoy it.

And if your sight is reduced, use your other senses. Hear the buzzing of bees and happy laughter of children playing with water. Taste the juicy strawberries and cherries. Hear the changes in autumn, when the leaves rustle, the wind suddenly whistles or there is complete silence. Breathe in the smell of mulled wine and baked apples in winter. And sniff your way through the splendor of flowers that spring brings forth in so many ways.
