I recently enjoyed speaking with the incredible Dr. Summer about her remarkable story. I’ve been following her journey on TikTok, and I was eager to dive into her experiences with neuromyelitis optica (NMO), a condition that was initially misdiagnosed as multiple sclerosis (MS). Summer's resilience and determination to overcome her challenges are truly inspiring.
In the first part of a two-part interview, Summer shared her journey from being misdiagnosed with MS to receiving the correct diagnosis of NMO. She explained that NMO is often confused with MS due to their similarities, but it has distinct characteristics that can lead to more severe symptoms. Summer described her initial experiences with various treatments, including Gilenya and Tysabri, and how they didn’t work for her condition. It was only after multiple attacks that her doctors reconsidered her diagnosis and adjusted her treatment plan.
During our conversation, we discussed Dr. Summer's journey through misdiagnosis and the impact of her condition on her medical career, the emotional challenges of living with a chronic illness and the fear of unpredictability, advances in treatment options for NMO and the hope they bring to patients, and the power of resilience and determination in overcoming health challenges.
