Links to Disease Information and Support

These sites are but a small selection of those websites that present information for consumers.  Obviously, not all of the available sites are credible or reliable, so beware.  What we try to do, is include sites that we have used in our daily work, which includes those sites that we may have accessed once as we researched a question for a patient, and some are sites that we regularly use.   We realize that it would be more helpful to those using our links on a regular basis, if we added a review of the site.  This is a larger project than anticipated and we will work to that end.  In the meantime, any new sites added to this page will provide at least a short description.

New Links - we are presently updating the links and adding reviews as we are able.   Although we also check that the site still exists,  the web is a dynamic place so that websites come and go almost daily so that some invalid web links may be missed.  Please, if you notice a broken link, drop us a quick e-mail.   WE APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.
