The WMFC is delighted to be able to bring to you Dr. Shirley D’Sa from University College London (UK) Hospitals.
Dr. D’Sa will discuss two topics:
- Peripheral Neuropathy (PN), a common condition experienced by people with WM.
- Bing-Neel Syndrome, a less-common complication of WM.
For both of these, Dr. D’Sa will address the symptoms of these conditions, how they develop, how you can enable a swift and accurate diagnosis and how it is recommended to treat these conditions
The Zoom information will be sent out shortly before the event — meanwhile, mark your calendars: Friday Nov. 15th, 2 p.m. Eastern / 11 a.m. Pacific. (And 7 p.m. GMT for Dr. D’Sa, who has generously made time for us in her busy schedule!)
