I wish others knew that...

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

  1. That this is real.... even though outwardly I appear the same.... and then add my Scolisis and Spinal Stenosis...
    Unable to mask it anymore... it even shows on my face and using 3 wheel walker is necessary/ not an option...

    1. It’s a constant struggle, physically and mentally

      1. , this is very true! I think others can forget that a rare disease rarely takes a day off!

    2. That it's unpredictable!

      1. , definitely! This would be a great fact for people to know about living with a rare disease. Thanks for joining the conversation.

    3. It changes day to day and even minute to minute.

      1. , boy, isn't that the truth!
