9. Recognising a relapse (Dr. Lesley-Ann Hall)
Show notes
Many patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder may experience relapses, but not everyone will experience them in the same way. Our host, Debbie Leticq talks to neurologist Dr. Lesley-Ann Hall to help understand the nature of relapse and recovery in NMOSD.
Neurologist Dr. Lesley-Ann Hall discusses the importance of early recognition, confirming that it is a true relapse with your GP or neurologist early in order to help limit long-term damage.
Dr. Hall explains what is meant by a multidisciplinary team approach, which looks not only at treating the inflammation which occurs with NMOSD, but also at treating the person as a whole; for example, when managing coexisting complications.
