Googling optic nerve swelling is scary as hell, and since yesterday my floaters are getting worse, although, I can't find any connection between floaters and optic nerve swelling.
So, I basically went for one problem to doctor and left with a fear from completely different thing.
Only thing that is a bit comforting is that she said if she thought it was something important she would have immediately referred me to neurologist. As it is, we will follow if symptoms get worse or not.
So far, only floaters are getting worse, but my retina is completely fine so it doesn't have any sense.
I apologize for rambling...this thing messed up with my brain...
