Great information! I am 47 years old and have a rare, inherited collagen disorder that was accurately diagnosed just this year. All my life, I have been misdiagnosed with everything from Lupus to possible MS and have been given treatments and medications that have made me worse and (very recently) nearly took my life. I have a lifetime of stories regarding bias in medicine and the damage it causes to members of marginalized groups. Thank you for bringing attention to this very serious issue!!!
