I had an appt today with my new neuro and he ordered the blood test for Devic's. I was diagnosed with MS 6 years ago, however I have had symptoms for many years prior to the actual diagnosis.
I understand the difference between the two illnesses but I am confused. Devic's seems to come out of the blue, at least that is what I am getting from the internet. I have had many years of symptoms and flairs.
However, ON followed by entire body numbness is what finally led to my diagnosis. I have very large lesions on my spinal cord and very few small lesions on my brain.
I am looking for any information you can share with me. It will take about 3 weeks for my bloodwork to come back from the Mayo Clinic. This is driving me crazy and the information I am finding out there is somewhat terrifying. I was more at peace with the MS diagnosis.
