Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. Please ask about new drugs for optic neuritis and myelitis.Doctor's answer:
It could be a central nervous system inflammatory demyelinating disease that affects the optic nerve and spinal cord. When both the optic nerve and spinal cord are affected, there is no effective treatment available. Damage to the optic nerve can lead to vision loss, while spinal cord damage can result in recurrent collapse. Treatment medications may include corticosteroids, high-dose immunoglobulins, and immunosuppressants such as mitofluorine and mitoxantrone. This condition is quite serious and requires immediate hospitalization for proper diagnosis and treatment.
