 COFWA Membership Application

COFWA (Circle of Friends with Arachnoiditis) is here for support of those who suffer from or know someone with arachnoiditis. COFWA was founded to provide education, friendship, caring, sharing, and insight to questions and concerns with living and coping with arachnoiditis.

As a private, online support group, COFWA functions almost exclusively on the Internet through e-mail with the utilization of listserv e-mailing services provided by YahooGroups' s (the largest on-line e-mail service provider in the world today). Our members are able to send and receive messages of information, support, caring and sharing.

The emails sent are sometimes pleas for help, requests for information or asking for support during a difficult period, sharing what it's like to live with arachnoiditis, and at times just friendly conversations with someone who knows what you are going thru and even a joke or two.

YahooGroups provide COFWA’s members additional amenities including our own privet "chat" room where you can "Chat" with other COFWA members. The "Chat" room is closed to the public, as are all the activities / amenities within COFWA’s YahooGroup. You will have access to our "Bookmarks" where we keep links to important information on the Internet, (i.e. Social Security Disability e^News, Workman's Compensation, Pain Management, Oxycontin). There is a "Physician Referral Database"; listing of Physicians our members have submitted, listed geographically by region, state and country. These are samplings of the amenities COFWA provides our members at YahooGroups.

Would you kindly respond to our questionnaire below. We review each new member to assure that COFWA is the kind of Support Group that meets your needs. ALL information is kept in strictest confidence. We are attempting to formulate profiles of arachnoiditis suffers with the information you provide. We realize some of the questions asked are of a personal, sensitive nature.  We ask that you complete as much information that you are comfortable in sharing.
