Review for Pandora Org, Traverse City, MI, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Pandora Org has been so very beneficial to me in many ways. I have received much information that I could pass on to my physicians to aid in my care of Fibromyalgia. Those of us who suffer with Fibromyalgia and ME cannot just exercise nor get up and be physically active like others can. With the aid of Pandora Org, I was given info for my doctor to help him understand why patients with Neuroendocrine Immune Disorders need to rest and do things at a slower pace. Pandora Org even has brochures describing NEIDS and proper patient care for physicians who just cannot understand their role in helping patient needs. Pandora Org representatives also attend government meetings concerning patients with NEIDS to give real patient testimony to what works and what does not. Pandora Org uses the information given freely by the patients and people whom it works with and not something contrived like some other places do. Pandora Org really cares about REAL people as evidenced by the many programs that it has such as 'Covered With Love', 'Mom's Meals' and others that assist patients who do not have the resources to help themselves. Pandora Org is there for it's patients and for their families and those that love them.

Review for Pandora Org, Traverse City, MI, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

When I first became ill, I really had nowhere to go for information. Then I was directed to PANDORA ORG. The information is up-to-date and very informative about my own illness as well as many other neuroendocrineimmune disorders. This organization sends people to CDC meetings and FDA meetings as well as other venues where more support and help is needed to keep these organizations aware of patient's needs.
The patient is kept well informed of what progress is made as far as government research and physician education is concerned. Pandora Org is all volunteers so there is no worry of funds being misdirected or misused. Every thing is for the patient. Their website shows just hard they work and there is so much information there.
Patients can ask questions and are given up to the minute information and support. The voice of the patient is heard and conveyed to the government powers that be.
Pandora Org started out small, but has grown to a national level with members all over the U.S. Even people in other countries can come onto the website or Facebook page to offer support or ideas and collect the same.
Pandora Org offers HOPE!

P.A.N.D.O.R.A. started with just one person who needed information about M.E. and not finding what she needed, she did research. This research led to more information being able to be shared by others with this disorder. Then it grew and grew to what it is today. There are so many of us with these devastating neurological disorders and illnesses who are in terrible pain who now come to this group for help. P.A.N.D.O.R.A. now has the ability to help so many people with many different neuro disorders around the United States. This shows us that not only can we all help others but just look what one person can do!
