Imagine waking up one day and finding yourself among the 1 in 17 people in the UK living with a rare disease. That’s the day-to-day reality for many of our brothers and sisters in the UK, with over 7000 different rare diseases knocking on doors unannounced.
Every parent dreams of watching their children reach their developmental milestones. However, the reality for our parents is that their children may be developmentally delayed from crawling and walking to babbling and speaking short sentences. When those milestones are not met, panic sets in and questions begin. Is my child ok? Why are they different? Why are they not walking or talking yet? What have I done wrong? We were only at the doctors last week, why haven’t things improved?
Our lived experiences are the one thing that we all share in common to finding and understanding our condition and our journey to our diagnosis based on our symptoms is the one thing that does not define us, but will give us all a piece of mind.
