"When celebrities and social media influencers share their journeys and struggles with medical conditions and rare disorders it is very impactful to help raise awareness, bring an understanding and reduce stigma," Amron shared.
"A celebrity speaking out makes those struggling with similar health concerns feel normal and it brings great attention to missed diagnoses and the importance of a proper diagnosis," he continued.
