About this episode

When Sumaira was 24, what seemed like a routine wisdom teeth extraction quickly set off a series of unexpected health issues. Soon after, her vision in her right eye began to fade—a small nuisance she tried to ignore. But as her eyesight continued deteriorating, it became clear this wasn’t a passing problem. Eventually, doctors uncovered a deeper issue, revealing a diagnosis that would change everything she thought she knew about her health. *  *  *  *  *  * ****** SPOILER ALERT BELOW ****** To find out more about NMOSD and Sumaira’s amazing advocacy and foundation at SumairaFoundation.org.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
