Neuromyelitis Optica – Symptoms & Causes

Numbness

In the earliest stage, neuromyelitis optica can affect some parts of the spinal cord. As a result, people with this condition might experience tingling or numbness in many body parts. These include legs, arms, and face. The intensity would range from mild to severe. If you feel one of these signs, make sure to take a rest and avoid any situations that would lead to an accident. Seeking urgent medical attention is important to prevent further complications and other possible causes of this condition. [3]
