I was diagnosed a little less than two years ago, I have recovered almost 100% from transverse myelitis, I feel optimistic and trust in the treatment of this disease, greetings from Mexico

[@Jokent16dec63]

I am so glad to have found this. This wonderful disease came into my life in January 2019. I am happy to say, I can walk and I have a wonderful doctor. God bless who have this and maybe can't do all the things they did before.

My brother's 2.5 yrs child suffering this desease last 10 days how can we do?

[@dylanzuniga2284]

Well explained video. Unfortunately an old friend of mine has this disease and I came here for better understanding... I hope science can manage to discover the solution.

[@vijin.p.chandran]

What is the condition of your friend Now..? Any progress? Actually my relative has diagnosed the same last week please reply.

[@sontung5661]

thank you very much, very well explained video and beautiful animation

[@bradatfema]

Diagnosed 2019. NMOSD ended my career, and left me with 50% of my prior strength, and debilitating fatigue. I was 52 when diagnosed and not ready to stop doing everything I loved. Miserable disease!

@Roche would you please upload the management update on NMOSD?

[@sh.shaini]

Can someone write me who has this sickness please?!

[@Albanian_traveller]

I don't have it but my husband got diagnosed with it only yesterday.

[@vijin.p.chandran]

@@Albanian_traveller Mrs Leila. What the doctors said about this. Actually my relative has diagnosed the same day before. Please reply.

[@Jokent16dec63]

@@Albanian_traveller how is he doing? I have this and that is why I am asking. I don't know how it effects men, it killed my sex drive. I can no longer go swimming like before. Meaning, an indoor pool, I wear a wet suit. From waist down, my body just do feel the same. It's hard for me to get into a swimming pool if it isn't as warm as bath water. I take lots of meds now, lots of vitamins , watch the foods I eat due to the inflammation they can and do cause. I now receive 2 infusions a year. Find you a great / neurologist and also a support group/ system. I don't know what all he is dealing with, but I find myself really depressed and I think mostly frustrated with it at times. I also deal with Fibromyalgia , DDD ( spinal issues ) and that makes it hard for them to make me pain free , I'm not. I live with chronic pain. I hope he has good doctors.

[@briancatt3648]

My wife passed away with it in 2018
