Hello, I was an M.D., PhD. when I got a Susac Syndrome, so I perfectly well understand what happened to me and why information is not collected yet.
I’m trying to live the best as I can; for me and my 8years’ daughter.
I would like to collect as much information as I can… Because organization (and statistics) is part of the solution !
Yours,
Quentin
It is something we don’t know simply. At the moment.
The answer will come from the statistics: we have to be organized.

Hello everyone, My sister was diagnosed with Susac about one year ago. he had been having issues for several years but the doctors could not figure out what the problem was. As a family member, I would love to take this from her, but we all know that is not possible. I am hoping that information can also be a key to helping her. She has been on steroids for years, and they started the IVIG about a year ago. She has lost most of the eyesight in one eye, and also all hearing in one ear. She now is in a wheelchair for long walks, and a walker for shorter ones. Her husband and her are no longer together, this disease was his undoing. She has two younger children. She had been treated at Mayo, but her insurance refuses to pay, so only her Neuro is there and they will only pay for four visits a year. She has terrible headaches with the IVIG. Can anyone add any suggestions or maybe just talk?
