@thatmsdoc: We have known about the antibodies to diagnose NMOSD (neuromyelitis, optica) and MOGAD (myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody associated disease) for less than two decades! They also cause spots in the spinal cord, brain, and optic nerves - if you are being evaluated for MS, these tests are most likely sent. However, patterns of clinical symptoms and patterns on MRI can help differentiate between these disorders!

My dad was diagnosed with MS but in the last couple years it’s been changed to MOG. Is MOG and MOGAD the same? Trying to grasp a better understanding

Going on 5 years and 3 different doctors and still don’t have a “official” diagnosis. I “mimic” both mog and MS. Super confusing and hope one day I will be able to be diagnosed officially.

This is so interesting! I have MS so seeing these similarities and differences are incredibly helpful! I know it’s common to have more than one autoimmune diseases when you have one. Thank you!! 🧡

do you have to be in the midst of an attack for the blood markets to show up? meaning do your levels fluctuate where they appear "within range" of being normal when not under attack?

MOG is a challenge for sure. I was diagnosed with MS for 6 tests before the MOG test came out!

icyyyyy (comms open) :
it's incredible seeing the community of people diagnosed with MOGAD in the comments, when I was diagnosed in 2019 there was virtually nobody and nothing about it, every doctor was stunned even the-1/2

My gf was diagnosed with ms for about 8 days before it was switched to mogad. Very very faintly positive for mogad. After leaving the hospital she was still having problems so we went to a diffrent er and they were extremely confident both diagnosis were wrong and she had nmosd. It’s weird she presented just like nmo, as far as lesions and initial symptoms but she tested negative for it twice and positive for mogad twice now.
