Happy #RareDiseaseDay! Am busy raising awareness of #airwaystenosis today in the hope that we can reduce the 96% of people who are initially misdiagnosed (including myself - initially ‘asthma’, and then told ‘anxiety’). Please learn and spread the word!

A HUGE thank you to #airwaystenosis Doctors around the world - so far in 2025 you have been the main source of new patients joining Living with iSGS. Patients gain support, help and the chance to take part in airway stenosis related research #breathe

Doctor recommendations slipped into second place this month, with most new members finding us through a search on Facebook. Regardless, 23 patients in May found their way to our online #airwaystenosis community via their specialist - so a huge thank-you on their behalf!
