HD Blog

HD is a complex disease, and even with a lot of information available today, we believe that something is missing: personal stories. Feelings, advice, choices, ideas, indecision, mechanisms, and thoughts all need a space to be shared. Therefore, HD Blog was created to provide such a place. 

The community is essential because it helps us understand that we are not alone in our struggles as others feel the same way we do.
