Putting my story out here! After becoming sick with fevers, just found out I have a #PeriodicFever syndrome, a very rare one. Had to take a break from work & grad school, but wanna raise awareness of rare diseases on @Twitch. Come chill with us! Link in bio. #RheumTwitter
Researcher @MichaelOmbrello called @NIH “a bastion of hope” in this great article @NewYorker. As a new patient there, this hits home 💯. NIH gave me a test treatment this week. It was the absolute best 12 hrs of my entire life. I never knew life w/o pain. 🙏 NIH
My friend @MichaelOmbrello would be too humble to share, but a great read from @NewYorker on the experience of being a “Rare as One” is patient with rheumatic disease, and the great work done @NIH_NIAMS

It’s oddly comforting to know I’m not alone! Maybe we can call this the rare disease experience?
Much gratitude to researchers @NIH for helping people like me every day!

After trying to see our family since Friday, with endless ✈️ cancellations, we feel defeated. But a kind neighbor I’ve never met reached out with 🍪 and hot cocoa just now.🎄 was cancelled but this little gesture made us feel so much better 🥹 Hope we can pay it forward soon
@RogueVictorian@birgitomo I left hc too, for my own survival. So sorry to all hc workers who suffer while doing a selfless job. I wish we were honored as the heroes we are.
