I’ve posted links for research opportunities before.
And here is the concrete evidence as to why research is so important.
This link is a summary of some key findings that were found in a Fall 2011 questionnaire.
Sure, this questionnaire did not find a cure. But it discovered areas in which diagnosis and treatment are seriously lacking. Before we can find a cure we need knowledge.
Some of these results are very interesting. When I read them, I find myself nodding and agreeing with a lot of them. These results are a testament to what a lot of us have gone through and still experience. Give it a look through, feel the support. You are not alone.
