Feeling Bad About My NMO Diagnosis

This video is about how I've been feeling recently and another side of how I cope with NMO. Life isn't always about being positive. It's okay to feel down about your diagnosis, symptoms, and illness, and we will get through it. My video is also about how we are all strong individuals.
