Welcome to
 RSD-CRPSLifesavers Inc.
 
 RSD-CRPSLifesavers Inc. We are a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization committed to raising awareness of the disabling and progressive sympathetic nervous system disorder called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. Approximately 1.56 million people are diagnosed with this disorder in the United States alone, exceeding those with breast cancer, HIV/AIDS and multiple sclerosis combined, with 50,000 new cases diagnosed each year.
 Despite the number of patients, many doctors have never heard of RSD/CRPS and few have successfully treated it. The millions that are afflicted with this disease may suffer constantly from relentless pain for which there are few, if any, effective treatments.
Our Goals for  RSD-CRPSLifesavers:
 Spread awareness of the disease by contacting medical
professionals imploring them to study CRPS and recognize its symptoms for earlier diagnosis of the patients they may encounter in their medical practice.
 We desire to locate suitable candidates to donate funds
earned to further research the disease with the ultimate goal of finding better treatments and eventually a cure.
NOTE:  We are not MEDICAL PHYSICIANS, or MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, NOR DO WE CLAIM TO BE.  WE ARE A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH COMPLEX REGIONAL PAIN SYNDROME.  We are here to bring information to the public for awareness PURPOSES.  While we do our best to verify the validity of the information on this website, it is not possible to verify all the information on individual CRPS websites, many of which we POINT your attention to because of the way they deal with CRPS, emotionally and psychologically. Please be aware of this and keep this in mind while using this site, and as always, you should consult a qualified medical professional before making any medical decisions.
