New Diagnosed

Overwhelmed, in a panic, or don’t know where to start?
We know firsthand how difficult being diagnosed with a rare, immune-mediated demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord, and optic nerve) can be. We know how frightening and isolating it be can when given a diagnosis of a rare neuroimmune disorder — acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, acute flaccid myelitis, MOG antibody disease, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder, optic neuritis, or transverse myelitis.

If you haven’t done so already, please take a few minutes to become a member of the Siegel Rare Neuroimmune Association. There is no cost to do so and we will keep you informed of the latest information on treatments, research and management of rare neuroimmune disorders as well as our programs.

Being newly diagnosed with a rare neuroimmune disorder is hard, but please know that we are here for you. You are not alone. We are here to help. We are here to guide you through it all and to support you.

Transverse myelitis is an inflammation of both sides of one section of the spinal cord. This neurological disorder often damages the insulating material covering nerve cell fibers (myelin). Transverse myelitis interrupts the messages that the spinal cord nerves send throughout the body.

The symptoms of transverse myelitis can include:
muscle weakness in the legs, and sometimes the arms.
mobility problems.
unusual sensations and numbness.
bladder problems.
bowel problems.
sexual problems.
pain.

Although some people recover from transverse myelitis with minor or no residual problems, the healing process may take months to years. Most people with transverse myelitis have at least partial recovery, with most recovery taking place within the first 3 months after the attack.
