Devics Disease (NMO)...

Everyday living

Hi All,

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but I can’t find anything posted using the search function and I know someone mentioned this recently.

I’m dx’d but have been referred for a spinal MRI (to identify what type of MS I have) and also a blood test for Devics. I don’t know if this is common as I’d never heard of Decics until I looked up the test.

Any help would be gratefully received, I’ve been unwell for some time (9 years now) so didn’t find my dx too much of a problem but now I’m starting to get a bit concerned, particularly as it looks like it could be some time before I get my LP.

Love n hugs,

Mags xx

I have been tested for Devic’s just to rule it out, I got the impression from my neuro that he routinely tests for it as the symptoms can be similar but the treatment is very different

I am un Dx at mo, but have just has an NMO antibody Devic test. Think it’s common to be tested for it when things are not clear cut. Good luck with everything.

Thanks Floopy and Apple, yes, I’m getting the impression now that it is fairly routine. One less thing to ruminate on now (yay!), so thank you for your replies.
