From the article: Waiting For a Diagnosis
Getting a correct rare disease diagnosis is difficult, and usually requires a lot of time, doctor visits, and medical tests. Yet after all that you still might not have a diagnosis for certain. Are you still waiting to know what you have? What have you been going through to get a diagnosis?
