Thank you for your wonderful suggestion. I've actually been in contact with HIBM patients since 2007 and was among the first 3 to be a public advocate for more awareness for our rare condition. I started the development of more patients coming out and sharing their stories and even flew to other countries to help other patients start their own patient advocate groups for our condition. All my doctors told me I would never meet one and I've met over 100 and active role in growing patient advocacy. But you're right, community helps :).

Pam, your images are beautiful and tell your story perfectly, your words too. Congratulations on being able to express yourself. I hope you don't mind but I am sharing a quote of your words as they mirror my own thoughts and actions 'Waves of life inevitably grab us, it is how we sail through the turbulence that matters.'
