Support groups are
important in life. Whether that be because you were diagnosed with a disease, a
loved one has a disease, or you just need general support, a support group can
provide encouragement and love. A support group is a group of people that meet
together for an extended amount of time with the purpose of letting people know
that they are not alone in whatever they’re going through. There are support
groups for basically everything, but this blog post will focus on rickets
support group.
A support group is necessary and important for all parts in life, especially when one is diagnosed with a disease or for one living with it's effects.
There are several online
forum or chat groups that people who suffer from rickets can post on. They then
can receive encouragement or advice from other members of the group. A good
example of this is this website http://www.mdjunction.com/rickets-and-osteomalacia . There are many other similar websites. Since rickets isn't very prevalent in Western culture, there are few support groups that get together and meet in person, but I imagine if one searched hard enough they could find one, especially if they live in a big city. Also, there is always the option of starting your own support group.
Know that if you or your child is suffering from rickets, there are people who are going through the same thing you are. You're not in this alone.
