2.7 million people in the US alone have it. how common do you want it to be?
that was harsh... what i mean to say, it is a lot more common than most people realize, perhaps because it's not an obvious disease (you're not in a wheelchair, you don't have a guide dog or a white cane)... most people can be controled with medication, when the right combination of meds are found, they don't have symptoms any more at all.
check the website for lots of info

As a healthcare provider I can reassure you that it is one of the disease states that we refer to as 'common'. Are you new to this condition? Do you need information? Maybe the support of others that have it? How can all of us out here who read these questions and hope we can help someone, better help you?
