Hello everyone,

getting a diagnosis for a rare disease can sometimes be a long, confusing, or emotional journey.

How were you diagnosed?
Did it happen quickly, or did it take time to find answers?
And what was that experience like for you?

Please feel free to share your experience with the other members. 💛

Take care,

Somya from the Carenity team 🌼
