Yahoo Message Group
Because CSS/EGPA is such a rare disease, it is difficult to connect real time with others with the disease. The internet allows for patients from all over the world to send messages, and offer support and advice. Many of the members are very well educated in the disease and post interesting and up to date information.
One of the first such groups, founded in 2002, is the Churg Strauss Syndrome International Support Group. A Yahoo message group, it has over 850 members from around the world. To keep out spammers, one must apply for free membership.
Facebook Groups
In addition to the CSSISG, there are several Facebook groups with a focus on CSS.
