      Anastasia- My son has active NMO and has been accepted into a clinical stem cell transplant study at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. We are in Chicago now for the harvesting of his stem cells. The transplant is next month. We are very hopeful for good results. Check out this link! I hope you see my reply soon! Praying for you. This trial has given mant patients with autoimmune diseases a chance at a better life.

    Hey
    I am an NMO sufferer in the UK and have been living with NMO now for nearly 9 years.
    I am really interested in customized anti-inflammatory diet for using the MRT test the LEAP and would like to know how I am able to do this in the UK or who I may need to speak too.
    I am quite health conscious already and have tried many different things over the years, so this would be another great thing to try and see if it works for me.
    Thank you so much for your help in advance
    Belle

    Hi Amenah, my daughter was diagnosed with NMO in August this year. She has also Ceoliac disease too and diet is super important for her. She has lost sight in one eye and gotten through 3 other episodes this year.

    Are the MRT and enzyme urinalysis tests expensive? And would I just have to see a dietician about them? I have NMO and have had bowels issues for as long as I can remember….and I’m only 35. I just fear that if I don’t get on top of this that I’ll be in big trouble later in life. I am also without health insurance.
