Pain Topics Treatment
Created by Web-MD Pain Treatment Topics is a comprehensive website with information about all kinds of pain and their treatments. This site can be used by a variety of pain sufferers as well as their families, including pediatric pain, migrains, and chronic pain. Fighting "4" Us would also like to thank PainTreatmentn Topics for their information which has helped us create this site.
RSD Hope
Created by Bob, Lynne, and Keith Orsi, RSDhope was formed in 1995, with the mission to "provide hope, help, information, and comfort to Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD/CRPS) and their loved ones. The RSDhope website offers everything an informational web site can offer and more; including a letter to family and friends of RSD/Chronic pain patients, written by Keith Orsi. I commend Keith for writing what can be hard to even think about. The letter is one that should be read by RSD/chronic pain patients and their families alike, making RSDhope.org the most comprehensive site for those with chronic pain I have ever seen.
But You Don't Look Sick
Created by Christine Miserandino, butyoudontlooksick.com offers one of the best explanations of what it feels like to live with an invisible disease I have ever seen. In addition, the site offers a wide variety of information and interesting things to read about. From book reviews to easy to read recipes, "sick humor" to an online store, this site offers more then just your average web site.
The Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome Association (RSDSA)
Created in 1984, the Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome Association claims that their "mission is to promote public and professional awareness of CRPS (Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome) and to educate those afflicted with the syndrome, their families and friends, insurance and healthcare providers on the disabling pain it causes". Since its inception the RSDSA has given over one million dollars in fellowships and research grants and is the only organization to give more then seventy-five thousand dollars to CRPS research, making them an organization I hold in the highest esteem.
