I didn’t see that coming
New po this is a podcast for people interested in or suffering from optic neuritis and associated illnesses - but from a patient's prospect. When I started my journey with optic neuritis, there were very few resources on the Internet that could describe to me what I could expect both from the disease and the treatment and how it would feel. So this podcast is designed to fill that app.
I'm helped in each episode by my friend and collaborator Dr. Joanna Gould, who has a PhD neurology and helps explain some of the more difficult scientific topics.
They certainly isn't medical advice, but it's a medical experience that hopefully you can benefit from.

We talk about what optic neuritis is, where it comes from what its possible causes.
We also discuss some other advice about things that you should know from the outset and maybe some good habits you can develop from the beginning that will help you much much later on if the disease turns out to be not just a simple case.
