[@roche]

Dear Sheri Baswi, thanks for your comment. There is not a cure for NMOSD, but several companies, including Roche, are studying the potential of therapies to reduce relapses and improve care. Please find more information about NMOSD and our efforts here: go.roche.com/nmosd

I thought I could help by sharing my experience. I was diagnosed with nmo in 2006, after having sensory symptoms like numbness and pin and needles on my legs. I mostly prevented new attacks taking imuran, while steroids helped when I had a full attacks that left me numb waist down. Fortunately, the symptoms would go away after steroids and I never had anything permanent. However, around 2011 -2012, imuran stopped working to prevent new attacks. In 2012, my neurologist switched my treatment to rituximab, which I have been getting every 4 months and will have to do for the last of my life. This treatment is a monoclonal antibody (against cd20) that kills all the B cells in your body, so you no longer can produce antibodies. So new attacks are prevented but you are also more vulnerable to other diseases, since you become immunocompromised. I still think it is better to be immunocompromised than living with nmo at risk of new attacks. I hope someone reading this can find comfort and help with my experience.

[@tabbathaSanchez]

@@prisiesser hi! What doctor treated you? And where is it?

[@ElefanteGuerreroPsiq.Ancestral]

@@prisiesser hey, who was the doctor that helped you? we are in search for a doctor that has treated NMO

[@monstrevanilla5846]

I have one of the most severe NMOS, my first year I had 8 severe attacks even steroids could not completely stop it only revert for 20 days. I spent almost the whole year in the hospital due to all these attacks when they found nmo game me Rituximab, attacks stopped and now I only have the remaining sytoms I lost one of my eyes and I have issues with memory, or walk correctly and convulsions, but the attacks stopped which is the most important. doctors told me they have never seen such an agressive nmo in such a young person so I can asure you that even if it is progressive if you use rituximab or any effective treatment you will keep going, since I had my first rituximab treatment I did not have any attack again I have almost two years with this treatment and I am relieved, I exercise and have almost normal life. stay safe my friend.

Hi friends ,my sister is facing NMO currently.. blindness is her problem(last 1 week).she is zero negative NMO. (NMO anitbody result is negative )..is there any condition like this.. not getting any positive response from anyone... ongoing treatment is plasmapheresis..what we have to do next..pls reply

[@justinj4827]

I was just diagnosed in June of 2022, with MOG-AD. Originally doctors thought it was NMO. I tested negative for NMO & positive for.MOG. They are similar. I had a crazy attack this year and was in ICU for a few months. I went blind, paralyzed. I was on a ventilator, and had a trach in my throat. they started treating me with steroids, then 7 days of plasmapheresis & then a infusion of Rituximab. My eyesight came back for the most part, not 100% yet, and had to relearn how to walk again through physical therapy. Hope this helped.
