Karena is an amazing advocate. I wish she never had to experience the pain and loss of her sister. We need more research, awareness, and education of #FMD. With so many newly diagnosed patients we have to do better.
Karena Spencer only discovered she had fibromuscular dysplasia after losing her sister Cristy. She shares her story with @theheraldsun to raise much-needed awareness of this vascular disease thought to affect one in 20 women:@FMDartery @pdmace2
