The Web can be a great (and terrible) resource for people dealing with disease

From WebMD to Wikipedia, the web is full of places to get information on disease.  I just came across this one though.  PatientsLikeMe is a community website where you can connect with people working through the disease process.  There is information on symptoms, treatments, and research.

If you or a loved one is struggling to make sense of what is happening with your health, this might be a great tool to receive or share information.  If you're considering posting your health information, though, please be sure to read this.
