Long term illness

It seems to me that quite a few J-landers suffer from fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis and other diseases that are as long-term as they are debilitating. Would it be an idea to tie all of you together, in order to make true that old chestnut "a burden shared is a burden lessened"? Could go in the shape of a shared journal. Leave a comment if you have any constructive ideas on this.

    I have fibromyalgia, so think a group blog may be a good idea

    I'm a registered nurse with Lupus, Reumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia and started putting a journal together with information for for these diseses.  When I went to add to the journal today, I've found that AOL has deleted it~Time to start over::sigh:: And will return.  
    hugs to all,  Bethe

    Guido, Tammy has two journals...
    http://journals.aol.com/memes121/AsIAm
    http://journals.aol.com/memes121/friends-helping-friends/
    Both of these are places to go for those who have disabilities and need support.  Wanted to let you know!  Tammy just had surgery on her spine, so she isn't posting alot, but is usually extremely active in all of her journals.  Hugs, Val

    Yup...I really like the idea.    I have fibro and get very little support for it.  
    Thanks for the idea Guido!!
