From people who came through it
“Not that long ago, about a year, that was me. Back then it was flying to a specialist. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. Bit by bit it comes back.”
lemon_fox54 · been through rare disease“To whoever needs this: A year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. For me it was a diagnosis code that does not fit the forms. I got a new job in April. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. From someone who gets it.”
Fuz M · been through rare disease“For anyone new to this: I've been there. For me it was about three years ago. I remember explaining it to every new doctor like it was yesterday. Yesterday I booked a holiday. Bit by bit it comes back. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.”
waveeast1993 · been through rare disease“to whoever needs this: i was where you are in february. nobody at school had heard of it. today i cooked a proper dinner and enjoyed it. things come back, slower than you'd like but they do.”
