“The most difficult thing for me in having narcolepsy is not having the energy to do all the things that I want to do.”
– Carol, who has narcolepsy

In South Carolina, Carol runs a small boutique where she enjoys being involved with her community. But until recently, she was quietly battling overwhelming fatigue and vivid hallucinations that she couldn’t explain.

For Carol, the road to a diagnosis was long and often frustrating, but finally, doctors told her she had narcolepsy, a chronic neurological disorder that affects the brain's ability to regulate sleep cycles.

Now, she’s able to manage her symptoms with her routines. And with the support of her husband and family, Carol is committed to making the most of each day, staying focused on the things she loves.

Follow us and share to help spread kidney health awareness.

In celebration of kidney health and the millions living with kidney disease, this week we’re amplifying real human stories that remind us why early detection matters.

Kidney disease is often silent in its earliest stages, showing little to no symptoms until significant damage has occurred. Simple blood and urine tests can make all the difference.

Share this post to spread awareness about kidney disease. And watch the stories of Jeff and B.T., two individuals diagnosed with kidney diseases, by going here: https://shorturl.at/Dhfn9

After 30 years in the Air Force, B.T. thought retirement would mean slowing down. Instead, he faced chronic kidney disease, a silent condition that progressed to end-stage kidney failure.

After beginning home dialysis, B.T. still found ways to live his life fully: exercising daily, restoring cars, and embracing life with perspective and purpose.

Jeff was blindsided when a routine physical uncovered something far more serious: IgA nephropathy, a rare kidney disease that often has no symptoms until the damage is already done.

What started as an unexpected test result became a lifelong journey of monitoring, treatment, and faith. But Jeff is using his story to raise awareness so others can be diagnosed earlier and protect their kidney health.

March 12 is World Kidney Day, a day to raise awareness about kidney health and the importance of early detection. We’re highlighting stories like Jeff’s this week to shine a light on kidney diseases and the people living with them.

Sumaira is a former dancer who experienced strange symptoms like vision loss and nerve pain before she was finally diagnosed with neuromyelitis optica (NMOSD), a rare autoimmune disease.

While at first the condition left Sumaira debilitated, she refused to let it define her life, eventually deciding to start a foundation (The Sumaira Foundation) to raise awareness and support research for this rare disease.

March is NMOSD Awareness Month, a time to educate, advocate, and amplify the voices of those living with this rare disease.

Follow us for rare disease stories that matter.

Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder, or NMOSD, is a rare autoimmune disease that can lead to blindness, paralysis, or life-threatening complications. Because it's a rare condition, it is often misdiagnosed or misunderstood.

People living with NMOSD face unpredictable attacks on their body that can permanently change their lives. Like Courtney, Sumaira, and Deshon, many must rebuild their futures after devastating setbacks.

NMOSD Awareness Month is dedicated to education, early diagnosis, and advancing research. During this month, we stand with those with the disease, as well as caregivers and advocates working toward better treatments and ultimately, a cure.

Growing up, Charlie experienced most of the world in a protective bubble – because of a rare condition he had.

Charlie was born without T cells due to congenital athymia, meaning he lacked a functioning immune system. For the first few years of his life, he was only rarely allowed outside to enjoy occasional car rides.

But today, he’s thriving, finally able to play, connect, and simply be a kid.

Rare Disease Day is on February 28, a day to shine a light on the 300 million people worldwide living with rare conditions and the families who stand beside them. This week, we’re highlighting rare disease stories like Charlie’s to spread awareness and inspire action.
