On today’s episode of Patient Podcasts, we are joined with Sumaira Ahmed. In the summer of 2014, Sumaira was diagnosed with sero-negative neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD)/chronic relapsing inflammatory optic neuritis (CRION) after experiencing sudden and severe vision loss and weakness/numbness. Less than two months after her diagnosis, she founded The Sumaira Foundation (TSF) dedicated to generating global awareness of NMOSD and MOG-AD, supporting research to find a cure, patient advocacy, and creating communities of support for NMOSD and MOG-AD. Sumaira has huge plans for the foundation and in this episode we find out more about what drives her.
