If you are interested in any of the following projects, please email Claire at dysautonomiaSOS@gmail.com.   Please use the exact project name to identify what you are interested in.  Feel free to tell us about yourself so we can get to know you as well.  Patients, family, caregivers, and friends are all welcome to volunteer!  Thanks for your interest and support in making this a success!

Science Writers and Advisors:  Looking for anyone with a scientific or medical background to help write educational materials for a variety of projects, and review materials periodically.

Newsletter and Feature Contributors:  We will need contributions for our newsletter and web features on a regular basis. Everything from patient stories, to regular columns related to living with Dysautonomia.  Parenting kids with POS, caregiver stories, diagnosis stories, treatment options that have worked for you, etc…
