In this episode of the podcast we discuss neuromyelitis optica spectrum disease (NMOSD), a rare autoimmune disease that effects central nervous system function and can result in symptoms such as pain, vision loss, limb weakness and numbness. Joining us are Dr. Maggie Kang and Nell Choi, mother and daughter patient advocates who talk about NMOSD and their experiences since Nell was diagnosed at a young age.
