It’s likely that your daily routines will change after a rare diagnosis, and how you manage the condition over time may also change. Symptoms can evolve, new standards of care may appear, social environments fluctuate, and more. It is said that the only constant is change and daily living with a rare disease includes coping and caring for your whole self— physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially.
