...can mimic plan ol M.S.... Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO)... I tested negative, .. (still have Multiple Sclerosis) but no meds were working for me so he thought maybe it could be NMO since the spinal tap was positive for oligodendrites (sp.)...thought I would spread the word because I guess there is a different treatment for NMO. I am not a Doctor so I don't know much, just passing it along...

NMO aka devics disease is very very similar to MS.

Seems like its the same but it attacks the spine and eyes more. Where MS attacks the brain, spine, and eyes.
