The Dercum Society is an informal international gathering of Doctors, other medical professionals, and most importantly, Dercum's Disease sufferers and their families. It was founded in November of 2005 to provide support to the sufferers of this disease and to promote awareness and education so that hope may be given to those who need it.
Based outside of Washington, DC, the Society aims to coordinate as much information as possible about Dercum's Disease and organize it in one central location for patients, their families, and their doctors. We believe that this condition has been ignored for too long and too many people have suffered without a diagnosis to explain their pain due to the lack of understanding of this disease amongst the public and the medical community. We pledge to do what we can to further educate the world population, to encourage further research, and aide those diagnosed with Dercum's Disease in any way that we can.
The Dercum Society was founded by Heather L. Lawver, a young American who was diagnosed with Dercum's Disease only a few short months after her 20th birthday. Ms. Lawver created this website, hosts it at her own expense, and has compiled all of the information contained herein unless otherwise noted. To learn more about Ms Lawver, please click here.
We do not solicit donations of any kind for our services. However, there are still many ways in which you can help. Click here to learn how.
