Aaron Curtis was diagnosed with cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa (CPAN) in 2015. Like many people with rare diseases, his path to a diagnosis wasn’t routine. Once he finally had a diagnosis, he was left with the task of managing his painful flare-ups while working full-time and also pursuing a writing career. On this episode, Aaron and I talk about the adjustments he has made to help manage his illness, what prompted him to start writing about CPAN, and why the spoon theory resonates with him.
