Neuro-immunology nurse specialist, Dr. Therese Burke discusses the importance of understanding your symptoms so that you know where to go and what to do to get support in order to find different ways of managing your NMOSD.

Dr. Burke describes the different types of pain, including primary pain, known as neurogenic pain which is caused directly by the nerve damage from NMOSD and pain that comes from a secondary cause, known as nociceptive pain.

Dr. Burke discusses the importance of understanding these two functions in order to be able to get to the root cause of what might be causing symptoms. She discusses how pain specialists can be life changing because they can look holistically at what might be causing pain.
