Welcome


We are a Milwaukee area group working to expand awareness, treatment options, research, and increase conversation regarding the chronic pain of CRPS/RSD (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome/Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy).

Our mission is to help those affected by CRPS/RSD to find resources at any point in their diagnosis and to help find like minded people who support them in living a full and active life. 

Upcoming Events!

Mia, diagnosed with CRPS in September 2011, along with family (Mary Lou and Nicholas), boyfriend Lenny, and friend Katy are the founding members of the group. For Mia, it has been a goal since her diagnosis to learn more about what treatments are available and to help others with CRPS. This group and website would not be possible without the support and encouragement by the founding members who envision the possibility of living the life you want.
