I've never heard of this rare disease/illness. I just learned about it from a news feed from a case in Yorkshire, England.

It's apparently so rare that it is difficult to diagnose and treat.

That is really interesting and concerning. It is so rare that it is difficult to diagnose and treat, which makes it even more concerning. I hope that more research can be done on this rare disease so that we can find a way to diagnose and treat it in the future.
