In this episode, host Debbie Leticq speaks to neurologist Dr. Lesley-Ann Hall about her own journey to diagnosis, living with an invisible illness and why it’s important to get an accurate diagnosis as soon as possible.

Dr. Lesley-Ann Hall explains how the International Consensus Diagnostic Criteria for Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders, published in 2015, has really helped clinicians solidify certainty around an NMOSD diagnosis.

Dr. Hall also discusses the importance of supporting people to manage the day-to-day symptoms that they experience by giving them the knowledge and knowhow to be able to manage their NMOSD.
