I wish others knew that...

What is one thing you wish more people knew about living with a rare disease?

  1. How each day can be different.

  2. Isolation caused by weakness and not being able to stand more than a very few minutes.

    1. , we all need a tribe for support. Do you have a local support system? - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)

  3. I wish more people understood that even when we ā€œlook fine,ā€ we may be managing constant symptoms, pain, or fatigue - rare diseases are often invisible, but very real.

  4. That i may look fine, but I may be having a terrible day. Don't judge how i feel by the way I look. Looks can be very deceiving with a rare disease like Myasthenia Gravis.
