A huge thank you to the European Federation of Neurological Associations (EFNA) and EAN for this opportunity. See you in Helsinki!
It's an absolute privilege to share my experience and shed light on my diagnosis—one that could have taken much longer had I not been proactive with my #HealthLiteracy. I’m looking forward to discussing how we can refine these processes and ensure better access to vital information for all.

Four years since my diagnosis this June, and here I am—speaking at the annual #EAN2025! What an incredible journey. Even more exciting, my MDS will also be presenting at the same conference.
