It certainly feels like it's common - once others know you have it, it seems like everyone knows someone who has it. If you have done any research you will note that it is not a rare condition - The good news is they have a lot a data on the what medicines can help and what you can expect. The bad news is still no info on what causes it or how it can be eliminated. But whether it is rare or common doesn't matter - what matters is if you have it, you need to find away to make you world work. Get to know your doctors, don't be afraid to challenge your doctor. If something seems wrong (you know your body) you are a person first and foremost, a patient only when you have to be and never a victim.
