Eye balls hurt - Optic Neuritis?

[LilyLabVA]

Since Tuesday my eyes have been very achy. They feel almost bruised and it’s mildly painful to move them from side to side up or down. I’ve stopped eye make up, contacts and wearing glasses with lots of eyedrops. I’m so freaked out that this is the start of optic neuritis. I have a big weekend ahead for my son and I need to be present but I’m picturing myself starting to loose vision , get the diagnosis then head in for an MRI and thus not there for my family.
Please has anyone had achy eyes that hurt to move and it be nothing? It seemed to get better yesterday only to start up again today. I don’t have a cold or sinus issues.
I’m really upset.

I’ve had it, had it last a good long while. I never talked to anyone about it professionally so I can’t advise any further but I don’t believe it to be uncommon or necessarily sinister by default.

I always find I fixated on things and get more easily anxious when I have things coming up. Try and ground yourself in the moment and not think further ahead than the hear and now to limit some of the overwhelmed feelings you may have. Worrying about the future does nothing to impact it whatsoever but it does impact this moment right now.

Positive vibes,
