ABSTRACT
There are a huge amount of physical, mental and financial handicaps to patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) or neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and their family members, although treatment strategies have remarkably progressed recently. Among many important issues, to support them, here we make issues of home hospice care, working support and rehabilitation. We should consider social immaturity and ignorance to resolve the issues, and the key point to contribute useful support is consistent cooperation among medical teams and appropriate understanding of MS/NMO by all the people in our society as well as medical staffs.
