Well, it's so exciting to get an email from another website saying they've done a review on you and they've added you to their site. At least is was for me. I was reviewed at http://www.peoplesmd.com/.Here's just the small blurb they mentioned about my blog. (It still thrilled me)!! "We found this fibromyalgia blog to be among the most current. The author, self-described as “a mother, wife and simply a woman who stays at home with some health issues” shares this very personal blog, with good information and an very honest perspective on her condition."
I had read about this site on another blog just a few weeks ago. It's different from other medical sites because it has a place for Health Heroes. These are people who have blogs; personal guides and other sites that donate their personal health journey.
Here is part of PeoplesMD mission statement to explain what they are accomplishing. http://www.peoplesmd.com/static/mission_statement
"PeoplesMD is revolutionizing the way health information is organized on the web by empowering consumers, health professionals and organizations to identify, share, and rate the best health resources online.
On PeoplesMD, you play a valuable role in determining what information is most important, practical and useful for any health topic. Now instead of your health experience online being dictated by a Google algorithm or anonymous author, there's a site filled with great health links and personal guides by and for people with real world expertise. We call these people our Health Heroes and we invite you to join their ranks by quickly and easily sharing your favorite links and resources."
Sometimes the best information is from others who are also experiencing the same illnesses. There are Health Hero Topics; Medical Topics and Health and Wellness Topics to explore. You can also create a profile and if you have a blog that fits this site, you can apply to have it accepted there.
I appreciate them adding my blog to their site.

WAHOOOOOOOOOO Congrats!!!!!!!!!
This is terrific!!!! I went to their website trying to find that blurb about you. Do you have the link to the one with the blurb so I can boost it?
Keep up the great job GF!
You are an incredibly brave human being. I have worked with people in your situation and I know that it isn't bad enough you are dealing with this crap you have people telling you or suggesting that you might be faking it, or it's all in your head. The one I love (and people say this for all kinds of illnesses) If you are just positive enough you can beat it. Shut up!! You don't need a guilt trip on top of everything else. HOWEVER you are not helpless spiritually and psychologically. I think you are already doing this but keep fighting for yourself in those areas. I don't care what your beliefs are, whether you believe in God or not, you are not the tail on the end of the dog. Keep recognizing little things. Don't compare to the old days. You will be a mess. What you've done here on the web is fantastic. Keep exposing yourself to anything that taps your spirit, music, art, writing, religion (if you're religious) Tap into people when you really need them. The biggest thing I have learned in all the years I've worked with people dealing with chronic and life threatening disease is that the biggest screw up is when they think they don't want to be a burden. As much as you are doing now and all the giving you are doing don't be afraid to ask. Hope to keep in contact with you
