What’s one time you wanted to give up on your self dealing with NMOSD? How did you get through?
For me it was after I got my 4th rare disease diagnosis. The one thing that got me through was going through my Instagram messages and seeing how many people I have touched.
3 years ago for me. It was when rituximab started giving me GI issues. It was so bad & with the NMO nerve pain, I started to wish the end would come. The simpliest thing got me through it though. There was a red cardinal outside my window that hung around for a week or more. It was so beautiful against the winter snow! It brightened my day & gave me back the strength & positivity I try to have every day....

This just brought tears to my eyes. Someone is definitely watching over you.
before my grandmother passed, she would always say Shes a cardinal. Whenever I am going through something a red cardinal always appears.
