In Dunja’s course you can let go of your stress

In Dunja’s course you can let go of your stress and worries for a moment and completely relax in a protected and therapeutic environment.
Anyone affected by a rare disease can participate, regardless of their mobility, because the course is individually adapted to everyone’s physical capabilities.

We offer virtual & physical courses!

On Monday evenings we do relaxation and breathing exercises.
On Wednesday mornings we do relaxation exercises, yoga and gentle gymnastics exercises.

Not being taken seriously when you know something

Not being taken seriously when you know something is “wrong” with your body, has got to be one of the most frustrating aspects about living with a rare disease. It often takes years before you get the right diagnosis. In the meantime, there’s no shortage of unsolicited advice. Turns out though, your particular exercise/diet/stress management technique is unlikely to cure my genetic, rare disease 😉

A huge thank you to Jessica and her non-profit @edsletzebuerg for being part of our “Talk TO me, not ABOUT me” (“Schwätz mat mir, net iwwert mech” in Luxembourgish) campaign – a call for respect, empathy and open-mindedness.

Support Jessica and the campaign by sharing her reel!

Leave us a comment about the prejudices that you have experienced and overcome.

And if you are feeling inspired and creative, why not create your own reel and sharing it with the #schwätzmatmir?

As a parent, you get judged for everything. If your child behaves a bit differently from “the norm”, this happens even more often. Maybe we can follow our children’s example, and just approach each other, ask questions and talk to each other...

My name is Nathalie Scheer-Pfeifer, and I am the p

My name is Nathalie Scheer-Pfeifer, and I am the president of the non-profit Wäertvollt Liewen, which was founded in 2012. I am married, a mother and since 2000 I have been living with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). This incurable disease has damaged the nerves that control my body.

In the advanced stage of ALS, many people think that you have hearing impairment, because you can’t speak and the facial expressions are weaker. I have learned to take the reactions with humour, because they are just a sign of the insecurity. Most people are overwhelmed when the person in front of them doesn’t seem to respond. Or it’s lack of knowledge, patience, sensitivity or simply lack of time.

One very important aspect when living with a disease like ALS, is maintaining a normal routine, with its ups and downs. Unfortunately, as a sick person, people tend to make decision FOR you, instead of talking to you. Even many “well-intentioned” actions are often patronizing. After all, “helping” and “letting oneself be helped” must be learned. But all this requires a lot of discipline and personal responsibility from everyone involved.

As a chronically critically ill person, if you want to live at home with your loved one, you are dependent on interdisciplinary and well-coordinated care. Then, a round-the-clock availability of specially trained confidants is indispensable. Of course, our life together has changed drastically due to the constant presence of third parties, but without them there would be no family life for us today.

And, thus, we live our everyday life together with seven wonderful people, my “girls”, whom I trust completely and who understand me without words. They are my extended arms and legs. This way I can be in control of my life.

A huge thank you to Nathalie and her non-profit Wäertvollt Liewen for being part of our “Talk TO me, not ABOUT me” (“Schwätz mat mir, net iwwert mech” in Luxembourgish) campaign – a call for respect, empathy and open-mindedness. Details about the campaign are on our website (link in bio)

Be open-minded – you might put a smile on someone’s face, maybe even on your own 😉

Abby lives with a rare disease, which makes everyday tasks that most of us don’t even think about much harder for her. But that won’t stop her from pursing her goals and doing the things she loves 🐎🐾🎤🏊‍♀️

You never know what a person is going through. Many rare diseases are invisible. Let’s not judge a book by its cover…

It’s hard for most of us to imagine what it’s

It’s hard for most of us to imagine what it’s like to live with chronic pain, where even opiates are not the magic pill 💊 that elevates it all.

Hannah lives with a rare form of Spondylolisthesis, which has led to countless surgeries and chronic pain. Sure, a young woman being chronically ill doesn’t fit with in most people’s ideal of the world. But rather than ridiculing or alienating her, a little more sensitivity and compassion wouldn’t hurt. Right?

Thank you, Hannah, for being part of our “Talk TO me, not ABOUT me” (“Schwätz mat mir, net iwwert mech” in Luxembourgish) campaign – a call for respect, empathy and open-mindedness.
