There are now multiple ways of viewing the newsletter. Of course group email is one option; viewing via the website created for the newsletter is another option; a third option is to download a Word document that is text/links only from the files section here; or reading it on the group archives despite the truncation of messages is the fourth option. There will be ads on the web version but I do not control them nor do I profit from them. They are part of my free hosting. I can deal with ads for free hosting.
I have tried to note if an article requires subscription. I have also left in the note that an article is a CME item, a video or a PDF file. In the scientific articles section, most items are only abstracts and not full text articles unless noted. I will also be sending chances for members to advocate for those of us affected by autoimmune or chronic diseases. Two regular items will be the updates from the American Pain Foundation on the bill about Chronic Pain Patient's Rights. Notices about chats, Podcasts etc will be sent as well.
