My son is 22 and was diagnosed with MOGAD in October 22. There were several lesions on his brain that caused difficulty with motor skills. He literally woke up with stroke-like symptoms after have a chronic headache. His symptoms were drooping face, slurred speech, unsteady gait, little to no mobility in one arm and dragging of his left leg. Depending on what side the lesion is on, depends on what side of his body is affected. When lesion is on the left side, his right side is affected and vice versa. I would suggest talking to your Neurologist about looking into that possibility. I hope this helps. Stay encouraged. I know it’s challenging.
