Neuro͎ myelitis optical spectrum

I just got diagnosed with it. I’m scared

  1. It's ok to be scared! I don't think it would be natural not to be. There is still a lot that is being learned about NMO, and I bet until you got the diagnosis, you didn't know anything about right? I didn't wither when I got my diagnosis 2 years ago, and the worse thing that I did was google it, because of some of the possibilities and challenges you may be facing. You have a whole community here of people that can support you and talk you through it. Please reach out if you feel overwhelmed or have questions. -Mo (Neuromyelitis-optica.net moderator)

    1. I’m so sorry to hear that. It can be very scary at the start of diagnosis because you have no idea how it’ll all unfold, it takes time but you get used to it. it helps having this little community we have here, if you ever feel the need to let it out, we’re all here for you💚.
