Hello everyone, 

How are you today? emoticon cute

As you already know, a diagnosis of a rare disease can have a huge impact on one's life. It can bring new insights and information, but also many questions, challenges, frustrations and more.

So, what is the biggest challenge you face whilst living with a rare disease? Is it a particular symptom? Is it the lack of information or awareness of your condition? How do you cope with these challenges?

Hello everyone,

living with a rare disease can bring many challenges, and some can feel especially difficult or isolating in daily life.

What is the most frustrating or difficult part for you?
Is it the symptoms, the uncertainty, the lack of understanding, access to care, or something else?
And what helps you cope with it a little better?

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

Take care,

Somya from the Carenity team 🌼
