Neurologist Dr. Dalia Rotstein discusses the most common types of attacks we see in NMOSD, such as optic neuritis, spinal cord attacks, bladder or bowel dysfunction and nerve pain such as burning or pins and needles.

Dr. Dalia Rotstein also explains some of the less common types of attacks, how to recognise the early warning signs of an NMO attack and how you can advocate for yourself when seeking care during a relapse.

Dr. Rotstein focuses on the importance of seeking urgent medical attention for any new symptom, or for any symptom which is significantly more severe than it is normally and which persists for more than a few hours.
