A member asked:

Is it ever possible for someone with devics disease (nmo), to have the kind of geospatial issues which cause them to walk into furniture and straddle lanes when driving (driving with 2 wheels in one lane and 2 wheels in another)? or would this be ms?

Could be anything!!: Geospatial issues can be from any lesion of the temporal-parietal circuitry. Sure it can happen from MS, but can also occur with stroke and brain tumor as well. Sometimes NMO and MS have overlapping features and you need a good neurologist to examine you and look at your MRIs to get a sense of which one might be the case.
