Does anybody else live with a rare disease? (beehaw.org)

I have a rare muscle condition, to the point where I feel like I have to be careful where I even mention it because it might make me identifiable. It's pretty lonely sometimes because of the subset of people who have this condition, most of them don't make it to adulthood and I really don't have anybody to discuss shared experiences with.

Anybody else here in a similar boat?

My wife has hashimotos which is not that rare but I honestly think there is something more to it. She has had issues with all her limbs and tumors and it makes me think her system is fighting itself more than just in the thyroid.
