Where community meets purpose

Behind every rare diagnosis is a story worth telling

Behind the Mystery, a series from The Balancing Act, was built for the rare disease community and everyone in it. The patients still waiting on a diagnosis, the caregivers researching at midnight, the families trying to make sense of a condition most people have never heard of, and the advocates fighting to change that. Every episode brings together patient stories and the medical experts working on the front lines of rare disease care.
