Online support and resources

Postby Sparrow » Wed Sep 09, 2009 4:01 pm

Do you know of some helpful internet sites for medical information or support? Post them here. Please limit the general chat on this thread, so people can easily find helpful info without having to wade through a whole bunch of posts. :)


Rest Ministries is a Christian site that supports those with chronic illness. They have encouraging articles, helpful info, books and products, and a quarterly magazine (I had an article published in it last issue).

But You Don't Look Sick is a website with a wealth of info. They have a lot of articles, products, and support info, and they have a message board I frequent. The boards are a great place to get advice and support from people who know exactly what you are going through.

The founer of BYDLS, Carolyn, also volunteers her time to help people apply for disability, and those she helps have something like an 89% acceptance rate within four months of the first application (as opposed to the national rate that's more like 60% acceptance within a year or two). There's a whole section on the boards dedicated to SSI/SSDI.

On my own website Sparrow's Flight: Fibro I have a page that lists the symptoms of Fibromyalgia and specifically how they affect everyday life. At the bottom of the page I also have a list of suggestions on how people can reach out and help and encourage anyone in their life who is chronically sick or disabled.

Joni Earikson Tada just published a book called A Place of Healing about why God doesn't always heal. Here's a link to an interview Time.com did with her.

Feel free to add links to other articles or good books.

Re: Vitamin D

Being deficient in vitamin D can harm your health - Doctors said low vitamin D levels are also linked to chronic pain, fatigue, depression, and osteoporosis (even heart problems).

I'm glad to see these Christian resources available. My husband is disabled and has several illnesses that we have faced and continue to face daily. Thank you!
