- More about me (my health interests and reasons for joining WEGO Health)
- Health and wellness research and support has been a huge part of my life since I was a child. Both of my parents were advocates in cancer research and care, and I learned from watching them how important it is to be tuned in.
My first experience in online community building was at iVillage.com, where I developed content and community for women across a variety of topics, including politics and working from home. At Boston.com I spent a lot of time encouraging readers to share their experiences, both in discussion forums and through photos.

Researching helpful chronic pain resources - any ideas for us?
Hi everyone
I'm doing some research on chronic pain and I'm wondering what resources you rely on. What groups are you a part of? What blogs do you read? Where have you found the most support for yourself? Or what sites do you recommend to people who are suffering from chronic pain? I know there are quite a few members of our community dealing with Fibromyalgia so I'm interested to hear what you have to say as well.
Many thanks,
Adrienne

Alzheimer's Disease Advisory Board Update
We had a great session on Wednesday night with some of the Health Activists in the Alzheimer's disease community. We talked a lot about what new features WEGO Health should be focusing on to better support the caregiver community. Participants want us to bring together caregivers, patients, doctors, folks who run facilities (both hospitals and long-term care units), and pharmaceutical companies doing drug research. What impressed me most was the col… Continue

Comprehensive allergy site
I've spent a lot of time getting to know the allergy community since I started working here at WEGO Health. Most of the Allergy Health Activists I've worked with are primarily focused on food allergies. (Janeen, Ria, Sarah, and Gab are just a few of the starts.)

- Hi Adrienne! Thank you for the welcome. I just learned about WEGO yesterday. It appears to be an excellent resource for information, talking with people and sharing info, ideas, etc. I work in the pharmaceutical industry and can see many topics that are of interest to me - mental health, schizophrenia, women's health, contraception and more. I have a personal interest in cycling for fun and fitness. It has improved my overall health and well being, in addition, I made many new friends in the process of my involvement. My husband and I are also working on promoting safe cycling within our community. We are starting a bicycling advocacy group with another core group that has already been active. I am researching new avenues for communication and WEGO seems like a good one.

- Hi Adrienne! I am new to WEGO and new to online groups. I do not have a
personal website - but will! Thanks for welcoming me. I have heard many of my friends talk about "Eat, Prey, Love." Thay love it. I am enjoying
"ChefMD" right now. It is written by Dr. who loves to cook - full of info to help you eat more nutritiously and flavorfully.

Imove said… - I've been an RN for a long time. I work as clinical risk analyst for a major health insurer. I investigate complaints about doctors and hospitals for very mild things to very serious allegations of any nature. Often the complaints are bogus, sometimes they aren't. My dept is not there to police the medical community, but rather to protect our policyholders and hold the less-than-adequate providers accountable. I work from home 3 weeks out of 4. It's a fascinating job!

Genie said… - Hi Adrienne!
The diet I followed was NO DIET. I have a food plan that involves breakfast food for breakfast, lunch food for lunch and dinner food for dinner. I am not joking, as I would sooner have a pizza for breakfast and a box of cereal for dinner! I am a full blown food addict, and OA saved my life.!! Genie

I actually do not know the guy who asked me to do this. I sort of know his wife and she is the one who turned him onto my blog. We shall see what comes out of it. At a minimum I feel like I just need to jump in!
Did you used to write?
