I agree, however, my care is not that great. I was told about this NMO (devics) that my nero drs have suspected that for some time. Apparently the little info I have about it is....something lke a sister to MS. Similar symptoms and issues. demylenization of my optic nerve and other nerves. optic neuritis and nerupoathy have been thrown around. I am losing feeling in my right arm and leg and now sometimes I cannot feel temps in that leg. I do not know much about it yet. However, it makes sense. I hope it is not NMO or Devics but it fits all my external symptoms. I am also having loss of reflexes in that leg and weakened strength.
From what I know Devics used to hit hard and cause almost instant parylisis, mine seems to be a relapsing and remitting type. I do still believe that somehere at some point there was or is infection that cld have triggered it. I do not know much about it. I am new to these forums. What is the best way to find out from people w/ Devics and NMO? Is it all about how you ask the ? and phrase it?
I do trust this neurologist who finally told me they have been thinking that it is NMO and I do not know where to go from there. My EEG test was not preformed properly and have started having back pains recently. Very bad and uncomfortable, I attended a MS conference when they began discussing MS diagnosis, which I met a pt who had suspected optic neurtitis and went 5 yrs thinking she was ok. She has no lesions on her brain or upper cervical MRI, it was not until they did a MRI of her entire spine that they found lesions, and was diagnosed. I have started to better my nurtition and just do not know where to go next with this.
My Dr. basically I'm am not able to say definetly wheteher it is or not due to incloclusive EEg tests and other things
....Thank You for your response no matter how short or long it helps! I do pray I get better care . I am fighting for the right to still be seen as a patient period along with many others.

Sickntired,

I'm sorry to be short since you gave us so much information. However, if the doctors say no MS, then you have to trust there is good cause for that statement.  Much of what you gave us here would be all the more reason why it's something else.

Wishing you well with your journey and hope you have thorough doctors who work on getting you well again. You deserve good care and I hope you find it.
