I have a question doctor please What should a patient do if IV steroids didn’t work ?

[@wearesrna]

Hello, the acute therapies most frequently used to treat an inflammatory attack include: high dose intravenous steroids (methylprednisolone), Plasmapheresis (Plasma Exchange or PLEX), Immunoglobulin Therapy (IVIG), and cyclophosphamide.

What about the people that are steroid responsive? NMO, MS, MOGAD, MOG etc are all negative.

Hello, Youkendeh. Although it is rare, optic neuritis can occur on its own without being a symptom of an underlying condition such as ADEM, NMO, MOGAD, and MS.
