Dr. Levy is my new favorite lecturer. I have multiple autoimmune diseases and am in the midst of a work-up with an amazing neuroimmunologist to differentiate if I have NMO, MS, or neuro-Behcet's. Lectures like this are so helpful for those who are in the process. Thank you so much!

Precisely spot on l was hospitalized at age 51 & diagnosed NMO 7 months ago, 2 lesions with half blindness & paralysis, fatigue, cognitive etc.. Treated with plasma👌🏽 & steriods, ongoing retuximab infusions I have recovered well🙏🏼 After months of heavy tight pulling numbness in trunk has finally gone, l do have constant cold electric burn in legs ñ feet (neuropathic pain) from nerve damage & pain in spinal lesion, IF that is healing Hallelujah!! Now my hands are affected, Relapse is a huge worry.!. 🙏🏼 p.s~ I did wonder IF there was any correlation with hormones/menopause!!..

child diagnosed to have nmo at the age of 3 and half yrs..aquphorin anti bodies positive ,relapsing form . parents are worried about the next pregnancy ,what are the chances of next pregnancy having nmo.

I would like to talk with someone...I am an unusual case....I try to search and search for someone who's case is like mine but I can't find it.....I have had NMO for at least 22 years....if you were to see me at the store you would never know anything was wrong with me....Not to say I do not have symptoms because I sure do but not typical symtoms......I do have alot of pain in body....fatigue...some optic nerves have died but vision is still pretty good in both eyes.....I have full function of my body.....I have made the choice to not take the meds for this conditon and I seem to be doing better than anyone I read about.....Again not to say I don't have symptoms because I sure do but just completely not typical.... I did test positive......and I have the two lessions you speak about...... I'm happy I'm doing as well as I am 22 years into it but also still so scared of the future....I can't find enough info to know what I can expect..... If anyone would like to talk with me I would be grateful...... Thank you in advance :)
