Tap Into the Wisdom of the Crowd

I came across a very cool web site called  PatientsLikeMe.  This site creates online communities for people with chronic illnesses, including a pretty vibrant MS community, with over 4,000 people with MS participating online.  There are forums, there is even an opportunity to provide a profile so that you can see what kinds of symptoms and treatments others are currently dealing with.  What's most interesting is that you can update your online profile as your symptoms and/or treatments change.  The site provides a chronological view that indicates the status of your MS over time.  It's definitely worth checking out.  And they even have forums for caregivers, as well!
