Why do we feel we are worthy of your donation?

All of our volunteer staff members have FM, or CMP, CFIDS and overlapping conditions. We all know what it is to live with chronic pain and fatigue and we want to help others find much needed help and research.

Our staff members are educated people involved in health care and advocacy on many levels. We have social workers, political advocates and fund raisers. We all live with it daily and strive to provide others with information so that their journey through the health care maze may be easier.

Services Provided by The FMS Community and the CSSA.

• A Free Newsletter full of medical facts and daily coping tips.
• Care provider pages, We carry 2 separate provider pages. We offer FibroBetsy's large data base of Care providers
  that cater to those with Fibromyalgia and the FMS Community offers a list for Care Providers that help those with CMP,
  CFIDS, TMJ, MCS, Sleep Apnea, Migraine sufferers and more.
• Book Reviews. We try to weed out the crop of self help publications so you do not waste your money on junk.
• Contests! We take donations of health related books, CD's and other items that are donated to the organization and give them away in contests. So people who may not be able to afford to buy these items have access to much needed information.
• Research. We try to add new research items that pertain to FM, CMP, CFIDS, GWS, MCS and other conditions often. This allows you to print off a study or an article on a new medication and take it to your doctor, to see if they are willing to try it, or for your own research as you plan your health care.
• Children, Teens and Young Adults. We know there is limited information and support out there for this group of people. We maintain a page just for children and young adults. Links to support groups and medical studies to help them get through schooling, band practice, dating and all things young people deal with daily.
• Artists Loft. We maintain pages for those with a chronic illness to feature their art. Those who may paint, draw, sew, write poetry or novels, take photographs. We feature their work and list their links so they may find some gainful employment and show the world that we can still create, despite the pain.
• Free or Low Cost Medications. We know many people do not have a health insurance plan, or if they do, it does not cover medications. Our site strives to keep a page online with information on getting needed medications for free or for a lower cost.
• Filing for Disability Benefits. We keep our ear to the ground and maintain a page to help those who can not work, obtain their disability benefits. Information on how to file, who to talk to, new laws you need to know about and more.
• Exercise. We have all been told to exercise, but how much? What type? We have information from experts on this topic gathered on one page, to help us learn what we can and can not do and how not to feel guilty over what we can NOT do.
• Book Store. We have a bookstore of the tried and true publications. If you are going to buy a book on FM or an overlapping condition, you can buy it through this site. Every book that is sold via one of our links, puts funds into the organization.

All funds go to the organization. None of our volunteers pull a salary or is compensated for their time in any way. We all do the work for free and the funds go to maintain this website, pay for the server and the domain name and mail items to people who have won the contests. All donors will be sent a receipt for tax purposes if requested.
