Pauline Grant Richardson, an NMO patient advocate, discusses refusing to settle and figuring out the right treatment plan for each patient.
Transcript
I love that question because I never settle. Settling, meaning that you’re accepting less than what you’re worth, or what you can do.
And if you do that, you’re setting up yourself for failure. One failed test — do you do nothing? No. You propel yourself. You, you set new goals. When I refuse to settle, especially with my diagnosis, I try to understand the treatment plan. I always tell myself it’s not going to be in a straight line.
There’s going to be trial and error. There will be learning and adjusting, there will be side effects from treatment that you’ll get reported. But try not to be stagnant.
