How likely is nmo to be fatal now days? will medicines like copaxone (glatiramer) help?

NMO: In the old days, we thought that nmo was a variant of ms. Now we realize that it is very different, although may present the same way. Because it is so rare, there will never be enough people in an fda trial to approve a drug therapy. I have had success with rituxan (rituximab). Two men in this country are the leading experts on the topic, dean wingerchuck at mayo clinic and ben greenberg at utsw.
