When my son was diagnosed with EoE almost four years ago, I quickly recognized my need for a supportive community familiar with the needs if families dealing with EGIDs. I contacted APFED, and they provided me with a gray level if personal support. With the assistance of APFED I was able to start a local support group, the Atlanta/N. GA Eosinophilic Disorders Support Group (GAEOS). Thanks to APFED's support and networking GAEOS has been able to help dozens of families. Thank goodness for APFED.
