Patient's question:
Lately, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. Is optic neuritis hereditary?Doctor's answer:
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease, not a hereditary one, so it will never be passed down through generations. Don't worry too much. This disease is primarily caused by autoimmune antibodies attacking both the spinal cord and optic nerve simultaneously, with symptoms in the optic nerve appearing first. This can lead to blurred vision and pain in the spinal cord area if these symptoms occur.
