Federation Spine Patients International (FSPI) (Fispy)
The wording and syntax allows for a more international feel; individual countries can translate more readily without transposing the words.
This also provides for future formation of individual country or region-level organizations who may wish to belong to the international Federation. North to south and east to west, that would be: CASPI, USSPI, MEXSPI, ASSPI(uh oh!), NASPI, EUSPI (Gotta think big!) ;-)
Not to be left out, I want to form the CCSPI.

Years of pain, discectomy, research into anatomy, hardware, clinical trials, facilities, surgeons, techniques, insurance. Attempts at ProDisc, Activ-L trials. Now, low bone density. D'oh!!!
At 61 years, no longer qualifying for trials due to my age (chronological, not physical or mental).
2009 - Working on improving bone density or getting rich so I can go to Germany, where medicine and insurance have gone beyond the Stone Age.
