I like to find resources on the internet that are there for the sake of just helping out humanity. When someone says social networking to you, naturally the first thing you think about is some massive site like myspace where people greatly confuse reality with virtual reality.

Today I came across a resource known as med3q. They’re a new social networking site that supports those with chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, hypertension and much more. Most people have more than one chronic conditions and most diseases are significantly impacted by the changes in diet and lifestyle. Med3q supports these changes. They want doctors and consumers to join the site. They’re promoting a new and realistic way for people to take charge of their own healthcare while the politicians in DC battle out how to go about “helping humanity”.

It’s refreshing to come across a resource like this, I have to say that first and foremost. I have a soft-spot for those who understand the importance of taking control of your own life instead of sitting idly by waiting on someone else to do it for you. You should know by now that when it comes down to it, the only way the government is seriously going to help you out is if you’re willing to fork over some money. They do nothing for free which is why civilians in general won’t help you out either. Coming across a resource where they’re basically telling you to get off your own booty and make it happen is just the resource we need to tap into.

Talk to doctors, talk to people with the same conditions/diseases as you. Get to know how other people are living their lives. Just because you have a disease doesn’t mean you have to stop living, this site is great for getting your spirit back in check and getting you back in action to living a normal and healthy life, even with a chronic disease.
