Happy New Year Everyone! How are those resolutions coming along?
This week, we have a powerful post from one of our contributors who stopped taking her meds in favor of alternative therapies. Another PW contributor talks about the mental toll his rare disease diagnosis took on him.
We also are introducing a new PW contributor, whose path to diagnosis was horrendous. Lastly, we have a new cystinosis comic for the family that will hopefully help with medication upkeep!
So sit back and enjoy this week’s Editor’s Choice!
