I saw an article abut this site in the latest edition of Momentum magazine. I am giving some thought to starting a site there. I was wondering if anyone here has had experience with the site?

I think it can be a source of good information for anyone who cares but does not know how or are to uncomfortable to ask how you are doing. Just looking for some opinions.

Sounds like a great idea! I am on CaringBridge for a friend who is going through her first acute case of NMO. She just got out of Mayo after being in the hospital 2plus months. Two folks post her daily progress/setbacks and we then sign uplifting messages on her virtual guest book. Some have donated $$ to the site to keep it going.

Not sure how else this works. Good luck~

All my experiences with caringbridge have been very positive. I have always been on the friend/family side of the equation not on the "patient" side. It was a great way to get information and to give support. As the situations that friends and family members all used caringbridge for were acute/emergency/terminal sort of cases I hadn't thought of it being used for chronic conditions. Worth looking into.

All my experiences with caringbridge have been very positive also. I have friends that are on there because someone they love has cancer or whatnot...

I think if your open to blogging daily or weekly then people will read and stuff...
