I just went to my G.P. Dr. And told her that they need to learn about CADASIL before commenting on something they no nothing about.

You have helped to increase awareness about this. I agree with the work you are doing in making people aware of the need.

With all the technology out there, we need to find a way to stop these rare diseases. My brother died from CADASIL. I don't want to see this happen to anyone else.

My husband suffered from CADASIL, was misdiagnosed and treated for MS for several years before a MS neurologist determined immediately upon seeing him, that he probably had CADASIL, definitely not MS. Most doctors still are unaware of this disease. It is time to raise awareness and teach doctors about it. IO believe it may not be as rare as they think, due to them not being aware of the disease. We are certain my husband's mother had it, but at that time no one knew of it.

Those who are suffering the most end up having to become their own best and most informed advocates.

Drs. need training to look beyond the obvious so people with rare diseases do not spend years trying to get a diagnosis.

I believe that many more cases would be discovered if the medical community were better informed and equipped to diagnose these so called"rare" diseases.

The earlier the diagnosis the better the prognosis. Please teach doctors to recognize rare diseases. No one likes to go to a doctor and have to educate them about the disease they have, like I have to do all the time, as do many others with Rare Diseases.
