Don't dismiss the rare: My journey with a misunderstood illness #shorts

I just wanted to share my experience with rare diseases and how they're often misdiagnosed. It's important to remember that just because something is rare, doesn't mean it's not out there. As a patient, it's important to advocate for yourself and seek out multiple opinions if you feel like something is off. I know it can be frustrating, but don't give up.
