Editor’s Choice: Painters, Warriors, and Presidents of the Rare Community

Happy Wednesday!

With Hanukah wrapped up, and Christmas just around the corner, things are getting pretty crazy. Take a second to relax and check out these four stories.

First, we have a story about an artist raising awareness for her son’s rare condition, neurofibromatosis. Next, we have a contribution from a CIDP warrior on embracing life after a difficult diagnosis, followed by reflections on the late former President George H.W. Bush’s relationship to the rare community. Finally, we have a piece for people with EDS who are considering going to the chiropractor.

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