I have found blogging to be a great way to feel connected to a wider support network; as well as sharing our experiences, helpful advice/information or just venting! Have you written a blog about fibromyalgia, or are you inspired to do so? Be sure to share the link to your blog or any great blogs that you have discovered in the comment section.

P.S. If you blog about living with chronic illness, you might want to join Chronic Illness Bloggers, a blog network created by Julie Ryan specifically for the chronic illness community.
