Heute ist der Rare Disease Day, und morgen ist die jährliche Veranstaltung von ProRaris hierzu in Luzern. #RareDisease #RareDiseaseDay #rarediseaseday2025 #Luzern #Schweiz
Heute ist der #RareDiseaseDay, der Tag der Seltenen Erkrankungen, jährlich am 28.02.
Eine davon ist das #GuillainBarreSyndrom - 1 bis 2 Fälle pro 100.000 im Jahr. Daher auch oft länger nicht erkannt.
Selten, bis es Dich trifft. Daher: #Barrierefreiheit geht alle an, früher oder später.

I'm told that today is #RareDiseaseDay IgA Nephropathy is a rare disease, but that still means 60,000 people in the U.S. alone live with it (including me!) #IgANFoundation
Genetic conditions like Dravet syndrome, which causes severe childhood epilepsy, are hard to tackle with traditional gene therapy. New approaches in the works include using antisense therapy to boost mRNA splicing. #RareDiseaseDay

In Pōneke today to have tea with the Queen* at Government House and to celebrate local heros of rare disorder advocacy. My speech went well, even my te reo held up, and I had some amazing conversations with people who show up for others every day, even when it is hard and seems hopeless.
Humanity won this day my friends, and I fly home tonight tired but restored.
*my old mate the Governor General, Dame Cindy Kiro

Of course, none of this is really about me, it's about the way we support and care (or not) for some of the most vulnerable in our society.
Thursday the 29th of February was International #RareDiseaseDay, but here in NZ we've gone ahead and claimed the entire month of March as #RareDisordersMonth
Rare is everywhere. 300,000 people in NZ alone are affected. More than diabetes, more than the population of Wellington. It's time for rare people to be seen.
Had a good conversation with a good friend in honor of #RareDiseaseDay last night, talking about my medical history and experience. If anyone wants to listen to the replay, you can find it here.

My son Miles has Hypophosphatasia (HPP) which is a rare genetic disease that leads to under mineralized bones, respiratory compromise, tooth loss, and seizures.
From an extended NICU stay, a trach, numerous surgeries, broken bones , over 1000
and more
appointments than I can count, it has been an incredible journey.
So in celebration of him and everything that makes him rare, Happy Rare Disease Day!

It’s Rare Disease Day. On its own, each condition affects relatively few people. But together as a large group of people with a rare disease, you probably know someone affected, possibly within your family. #RareDisease #RareDiseaseDay #RareDiseaseDay2024 #29thFebruary #Mastodaoine
