Happy Thursday!
This week, we’re highlighting an story about a woman with Bechet disease who advocates for herself and others. Next, we have an article discussing the difficulty of caring for someone with a rare disease while managing your own health, followed by a piece on microbiome research. Last but not least, we’re sharing an article on the work advocacy groups in the US are doing to promote rare disease-friendly legislation.
Sit back and enjoy this week’s editor’s choice!
