Become a DINET Featured Member

Become a DINET Featured Member. We are again taking applications for the Featured Member program. The program is open to DINET members who are patients or caregivers living with dysautonomia. The only criteria are that you are willing to share something about yourself & your life that brings you joy. It can be something that helps you cope with your illness or ways you have adapted to be able to continue a hobby or interest or simply something you enjoy doing. This can be something you create for yourself or others, it can be gardening, creating artworks, crafts,  playing with your dog, reading a good book, enjoying your family, anything. 

This project was started after hearing from so many members and Facebook followers, about the very real depression and loss of identity that can happen when you live with chronic illness, especially illness that can be as life-changing and debilitating as dysautonomia can be.  We heard from many people, all ages, many disabled, many struggling to continue work - but many people working to find a way to adapt and to remind themselves that they are more than this disorder or illness.  Most importantly, to find joy in their world, wherever it may be found.   If you would like to share your story, we would love to hear from you.  You will be featured on our homepage, our facebook page and included in a post sent to friends and followers of our page.  If you would like to apply, contact webmaster@dinet.org  We will send you a few questions to get you started.  Members are featured in date order from when they complete the application process.  If you have further questions about the project, please contact the webmaster address.
