We believe that if you are reporting symptoms consistent with arachnoiditis, your pain is real, debilitating and systematically degrading the quality of your life. 
We believe that you are suffering through many sleepless nights, wondering, worrying and looking for answers.

Most importantly, we believe that the pain is not in “your head”
