The Year of the Zebra music video

You might be wondering what is the year of the zebra? What does this African equine even have to do with the Rare disease community.

What's the metaphor here? Well, I'll explain, you hear hooves clopping down the street.

Tell me what I think he's coming. Sounds like horses to me, I believe.

Gotta be. That's what, huh?

Horse. That's, of course, I don't believe.

I said, no, you gotta keep in the horse times out of 10, 10% of the population would still be 800 million people. They say it's not what you, well, then you, it may take time from a horse but it saves so much money.

The OK. So I get the me horses and zebras, those sorts of diseases and sorting them is easy because of course, you've not seen it.

Then bingo, there's your zebra. The difference is clear when you see them clearly, but in silhouette or the sound you hear or the feel of the pet or the flick of an E they're similar, right?

So it's hard to spot this. Let's earn your stripes because it could be fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, depression.

Can you tell it's not those, it could be something you've never heard of like Ehlers dlo, there's your zebra, it could be arthritis or MS, you know, those ones.

What if it can be these something you've never heard of? Like Aubrey disease.

There's your zebra could be something you've never heard of. Like congenital disorders of glycosylation of mitochondrial disease, red syndrome.

MP, two duplication syndrome, AAA syndrome, creatinine deficiency syndrome or like a dozen more conditions. Do you see what I mean?

Or it could be something else you've never heard of like NG YL one deficiency, a single set of symptoms, two totally different causes.

A single set of symptoms, like a dozen different causes. And we can talk about symptoms and zebras of which there are lots because it would help make more connections if we can connect more dots because you could have a fever once a month for years and never know because every doctor says it's definitely this but everything they say is different and the medicine doesn't.

And so just keep in mind if it's a horse eye 10 and just 4% of the and these are actual statistics that would be 300 million people, what it may take time from the horse, but it saves so much more for so to learn more.
