Rare Disease Day is Feb 28 Check out the Masterpost (2022) and the 2023 Masterpost for activities!

Share your COLOURS

If you have a rare disease, share the colours connected to it/the colour from the awareness ribbon. If there is no connected colour tell us what you would pick?

Don't have a rare disease? Do the above for a rare disease of your choice.

BONUS! Teach us a bit about the rare disease.

@AffyAvo

EDS seems to go more by zebra stripes than a certain colour from what I see.

Chiari Malformation. 💜


While I have it I am having to go through other testing. A lot of Drs want to say it's not the cause of all my symptoms and that's very common until a chiari specialist is found. I am fighting to get test for dysautonomia. This involves so many systems of the body.

Hello everyone! I have Behcets disease. It doesn’t have its own color but it’s a rare autoimmune disease so it falls under that ribbon. Wishing you all luck in your treatments and life with you illnesses!

@Saphie225, thanks for sharing! I also have an autoimmune condition - it isn't fun but it is teaching me a lot about myself (in a good way)!

Aw they can be rough sometimes! I feel like mine robbed me of alot of my teenage years and forced me to mature faster. Do you mind if I ask what yours is?

@Saphie225, I have POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). It sucks because half the time I can't get out of bed or faint. I fortunately have amazing roommates that are there to support me through it.
