So are they increasing or are we just figuring them out more and living longer and keeping more kids alive? I've got a spinal arthritis condition that didn't start until I was mid 30s and it's not a new condition but the thinking around it has changed substantially.
Edit: the consultant I saw said I probably wouldn't get diagnosed 20 years ago when she started. I had trouble convincing my doctor it could be this condition. I'd never have known about it unless I'd mentioned it to my mum who told me my sister (who I don't have contact with) has this quite severely and it took her 10 years to get a diagnosis and access to helpful drugs.
