Web Resource Spotlight - PainAid
PainAid is the American Pain Foundation's interactive online support community. It's a safe place for people with pain, their caregivers and even health care providers to interact in real time chats and on discussion boards. PainAid is a supportive, non-judgmental learning center that stands for self advocacy and knowledge. PainAid has over 100 message boards that cover nearly all of the most common concerns people with pain face including diagnosis and treatment, personal and family issues, and financial issues related to pain and medications. PainAid has regularly scheduled chats each week and offers intermittent special topic chats with a guest speaker. All of the message boards and scheduled chats are moderated.

RESEARCH STUDY PARTICIPANTS NEEDED
Chronic Fatigue Study
Do you have chronic fatigue and are you searching for ways to manage it better? Have you just begun treatment with a new physician? If yes, then medical researchers at the University of Utah invite you to participate in a research project. They want to study patients with chronic fatigue as well as the various methods that are currently being used to treat it. It requires you to complete 2 questionnaires, one before you start your treatment and another in about 6 months. It takes about 35 minutes of your time. You will be given $25 for doing this. Through this project, the researchers hope to find better ways of treating chronic fatigue. If you are interested in participating in this study and need more information please contact Kathleen O’Connor at (801) 587-4741 or email Kathleen.oconnor@hci.utah.edu, or visit their website at
