Devic’s Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO) is a rare autoimmune inflammatory disorder which affects the optic nerve and spinal cord and is often confused with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Compared with MS, Devic’s brain lesions affect different parts of the nerve cell, spinal lesions are larger, and relapses occur in a different pattern. Imagine knowing what treatments work for people just like you — and having the ability to easily connect with those people. That’s what makes PatientsLikeMe different. By sharing your symptoms, treatments and more, you can gain insight into what affects your condition while helping others learn from your experiences. Together, we can achieve more.
