Giving Back People from all over the country
and the world responded to RSDSA’s
recent e-mail regarding volunteering
with CRPS, and confirmed what I had
suspected: people with CRPS might
experience physical limitations, but are
unlimited in their energy and desire to
be part of the world. These responses
were as varied and unique as the paths
of CRPS. Underlying each response
was the common need to interact, to be
of assistance, and to put something or
someone ahead of their CRPS—even if
only for a few moments.
From the plethora of unique ideas, the
possibilities seem endless! These
testimonials are an excerpt from our
upcoming brochure on giving back.

The mission of The Facial Pain Association (formerly The Trigeminal Neuralgia Association) is to serve as an advocate for patients living with neuropathic facial pain, including trigeminal neuralgia, by providing information, encouraging research and offering support.
