In an effort to help people suffering from multiple chronic medical conditions, the Endometriosis Association has joined five other nonprofit organizations to form the Overlapping Conditions Alliance. The other five organizations are the Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome Association of America; the Interstitial Cystitis Association; the International Foundation for Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders; the National Vulvodynia Association; and the TMJ Association.
