Raising Awareness
Rare neuroimmune disorders have profound and lasting effects on individuals, causing complications like vision loss, paralysis, and chronic pain. While advancements have been made in diagnosis and management, a cure remains elusive. By educating the community about these conditions, the SRNA strives to improve long-term care and support for affected individuals.
