Editor’s Choice: Making the Rare Voice Heard

Happy Last Day of August!

As we get ready for the autumn, we want to highlight four articles. We have an article about the Zebra Ball fundraising for EDS advocacy, and some treatment news for people with Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy. We also have a patient contribution on making your voice heard at the ER, and a review of the new Netflix show, Afflicted.

Sit back and enjoy this week’s Editor’s Choice.
