Devic's disease

my mother has been diagnosed with Devic's disease ( a variant of MS) and the doctor says their is no cure, but I am searching for any treatment to slow progression besides IVIG therapy and Azithroprine tablets

Hi there.

Since this condition is rare, there has been no proven specific treatment to slow or prevent the progression in addition to the standard treatment that can be given for the classic types of MS (with the medications you mentioned).  However, with the pace of drug development, I'm quite optimistic that cures can be developed, and I hope that these can eventually be applied in your mother's situation.

Wishing her all the best.  Regards.
