I’m new here!

Hi, my name is Brendaolson.

#MightyTogether #Anxiety #Depression #Migraine #Fibromyalgia #ADHD #Grief I have had 2 blood test over a year apart from each other that came back positive for LEMS and I just saw a new neurologist who did a new EMG on me I was figuring that it would have been done on my legs because there the root of my problem (have 4 EKG’s done) but he did it on my right wrist and the right side of my neck and then told me that I don’t have LEMS because the EMG says so doesn’t matter that I’ve had 2 positive blood test and 1 of them he did. so now one of my doctors wasn’t happy with this neurologist so he referred me to another one and of course there are no doctors by me that know anything about this so now I’m really confused and my appointment is 3 months away

What advice do you have for someone searching for a rare disease diagnosis?

Between managing symptoms, juggling doctors’ appointments, and trying to find a name for what you’re experiencing, the journey to a rare disease diagnosis can be a bumpy one. That’s why it helps to have a community that “gets it” in your corner.

If you’ve been through the rare disease diagnostic process before, what advice do you have for someone just starting their search for answers? Do you have any tips for communicating with health care providers?

And remember, no matter where you are in your rare disease journey, you’re your own best health advocate. We’re cheering you on!

✏️ P.S. We’re creating a story with one of our partners, Catalyst, to raise awareness around late-onset rare disease. We may use your answer in an upcoming story on The Mighty.
