Research being done in the field of superficial siderosis and chelation therapies.

One More Family

Our superficial siderosis Facebook family is a tightknit group. We share our problems and successes; we listen and learn from each other. It doesn’t matter that we’ve never met because, along the way, it began to feel like we know each other. Still, no matter how our group has grown these past years, there will always be one more diagnosis, and one more family learning someone they love has superficial siderosis.

The Superficial Siderosis Patient Registry

Twenty-five years have passed since rare disease advocacy organizations first recognized the need for creating patient-powered registries to attract meaningful engagement with researchers. A patient-powered registry (PPR) or patient-powered research network (PPRN) empowers individuals to contribute to translational science in meaningful ways.

Our Philosophy

We believe sharing our superficial siderosis experiences is necessary because when patients and caregivers share real-world data, worldwide collaboration becomes possible. More importantly, change becomes possible. Our goal is to bring the superficial siderosis global patient community together with mutually beneficial goals. Support research funding to aid in the discovery of new therapies, share ideas, educate, and advocate for our community members.We encourage clinicians, researchers, and academics to submit questionnaires to the Superficial Siderosis Patient Registry. No one understands how Superficial Siderosis symptoms change the lives of both the patient and caregivers better than our community.
