About the series

Living with hemophilia can be heavy. But among the serious moments is plenty of absurdity resulting from rogue symptoms and strange social situations. “Reality of Rare” is a collection of candid stories by caregivers and people with hemophilia who have decided to lean into the ridiculousness with wit and sass. For these patients, the moments of levity help lighten the burden of hemophilia.
