Forgotten Disease - Support Research for Eosinophilia-Myalgia Syndrome: Ended
Sept.1, 2002. Now we wait to see if NIAMS and Congress will do their part to help
us. The online Petition got 713 valid signatures. Online Petition and paper signatures
(from Paper Petitions) amounted to 1,421 total signatures sent to NIAMS and Congress.
I received a letter from my senior senator and from NIAMS. We shall see what Congress
and NIH do to help. Please consider writing your senators and representative
about support for funding for EMS, rare diseases (including EMS), and autoimmune
diseases (including EMS).

Internet Archive Wayback Machine-
Go here, and you can view OLD versions of the National Eosinophilia-Myalgia Syndrome
Network, Inc. Web site going back to about December 1996 onward for some years. It
seems that after about 1998, the Archives do not contain the earlier material, such
as doctor Q and A's, etc.
