- Two years ago, a former high school athlete was at the peak of her college career when a rare autoimmune disease robbed her of her vision and the ability to walk. Today, 21-year-old Kiara Connley is making amazing progress in her recovery, after UT Southwestern neurologists identified what others missed.

It’s been 7 years now I’m just now starting to find success stories!!! You go girl
I was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis. Also has lesion on my spine. C6 level. and I could take few steps now. Praise God.
It's heartwarming to read such comments. Keep going and don't give up! That's already great. Everything starts with a few first steps.
My husband got diagnosed with Neuromyelitis optica some days ago after becoming paralyzed whithin a few hours. We have so many mixed feelings - we go from being devastated to fearful to hopeful every single day. We really hope that he'll be able to walk again.
This is the kind of facility that I need in my life!!! I have 9 health conditions and MS being the top. My MS specialist is very rude and has no empathy and I fell from high up an onto my right side of my body. Was bedridden for 6 months and he kept telling me it was my MS and I knew different because I was fine walking before. I pushed myself and finally got up and it's been over 4 years and I'm still working on my own. Been to 5 different PT offices and they didn't help like I see in others videos including this. I want to walk right again and I know I could if I had the right people working with me. I think I wasted time and been doing things that actually was wrong and it set me back 5 steps. They even told me the wrong side to walk with a cane and I was to get a brace but they messed it up and cut it wrong and it was plastic so no fixing it and I was never refitted for another one and just so much wrong has gone on and happened to me. This is only a little piece of it.
How do I find places such as yours?? I'm in Raleigh NC
