Six stories. One disease.
Every M35.4 patient matters equally. The site author's story is first on the list only because this site exists thanks to him — but it carries the same weight as all the others.

Marek, 62
"At first I thought it was the kitchen renovation. Then I thought it was age. The diagnosis took two years."
Béate, 34 (France)
"I got lucky. The first rheumatologist I saw had already treated one M35.4 patient in his career. Two months and a diagnosis."
Tomasz, 29
"Steroids did their job in four weeks. The harder part was accepting that this is for life."

This page is a mockup
What you see below is only a mockup — a preview of how the patient-stories section might look in the future.
It does not describe real people. Every character shown here is fictional, and so is every date, diagnosis and treatment line.
The individual case pages these cards open are part of the same mockup — each one asks for the same acknowledgement.
