Fahr's disease
Fahr’s disease was considered to be extremely rare until several years ago. Only one out of a million people was thought to suffer from it. Which would amount to 17 patients in The Netherlands. Thanks to genetic research in the last few years we now know that must be several thousand patients in The Netherlands. These people have no symptoms yet or are misdiagnosed.
.I wish for the peace to accept what I can't change, the strength to change what I can't accept and the wisdom to discover the difference between both.
